Now go beat those Tigers and get some respect back for the NL.
Right now, as a long time DIE-HARD Cardinal fan, I feel VERY lucky to watch them play in the 2006 WS.
Two things:
#1
PLEASE put Jason Marquis BACK on the WS roster NOW ASAP. I have no idea what Tony was thinking putting Anthony Reyes on the roster for the NLCS.
The way they have continued to talked up Reyes, I expected no less from him than to have the Cardinals close ALL the food concessions before he pitched in Game 4, so he could feed the WHOLE stadium with a loaf of bread and a couple of fish before the game started.
IMHO, Reyes is and has been, TOTALLY overrated!! After his NLCS "appearance" in Game 4, the Cards won't be able to get ANYONE to trade for him NOW.
The only reason there won't be a lynch mob waiting for the team plane to land with Tony on it in St. Louis, is Jeff Suppan. He deserves the 2006 NLCS MVP award.
We need Marquis on the WS roster, plus he can HIT, so it's another bat on the bench as well.
#2 ....right now I wish I could "thank" Trevor Hoffman for the Cardinals having to play the series without home field advantage.....
It should be a GREAT series with the Tigers, and I won't feel too bad if they beat the Cards. It would be a fitting end to their 2006 outstanding season.
