The 2006 Cardinals are the most pathetic World Champion of all time.

83 wins.

They beat a Mets team without their Ace and #3 starter.

The same could have been said about my '87 Dodgers, who beat the Mets (repeat chokers) and whupped the supposedly much better A's. The Dodgers had NO offense (Kirk Gibson had only one at bat, but he mae it count . . . a ninth inning grand slam). Poor Orel Hershiser's arm was going to fall off as he started AND relieved.

The cheapest rep for a World Series remains the 1973 Mets, who managed only 82 wins and an anemic .509 winning %.

i stopped watching baseball when the wild card and interleague play came in. It is only a matter of time before we get a syb .500 playoff team, like the NHL.

(Kirk Gibson had only one at bat, but he mae it count . . . a ninth inning grand slam)

Just for the record it was a two run, walk off home run not a grand slam. Did you know he also knew what the pitch was going to be that he hit out?
