October 28, 2011--The St. Louis Cardinals have won the world series in an improbable, luck-filled and quirky convergence of events.
For example, the number of dribblers Lance Berkman hit that rolled like bocci balls through the infield was exceeded only by the dribbles in Tony LaRussa's depends.
Okay, let's allow these Cardinal fan cretins a little superficial happiness for once. It has probably been years since some of these fat losers have even cracked a smile.
But the real story of the 2011 world series is that the all time villan of MLB, Tony LaRussa,a piece of human garbage and a criminal-minded coward, was somehow able to hijack the fall classic and "win" the series. He deserves NO credit whatsoever.
Tony the Pants Pisser, who would drill his own mother (with a baseball you perverts), should be banned from baseball for his prolific practice of throwing at opposing batters. And, he should have been banned years ago for condoning Mark McGwire's blatant steroid abuse.
This is a permanent stain on MLB, and LaRussa caused it.
To see this piece of garbage standing in the Cardinals'dugout with Mark McGwire, the biggest fraud in the history of the game, is an utter disgrace.
NO ONE in America wanted the Cardinals to win. Their fraudulent presence in the world series was a total disgrace.
The 2011 Fall Classic has been besmirched and will forever be marked with a black asterisk.
The worst thing is, I won’t care about their regular season now, it’s like “yeah yeah” do it when it really counts for once.
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
Why did Washington use Holland in Game 6? Kind of a Gettysburg argument I guess; he had a chance to step on the Cardinals throat and was going for it while the chance was there.
As I posted elsewhere, the Rangers aren’t going away. They have a talented team and will win a World Series within the next five years.
2 American League pennants in succession is quite an accomplishment.
I was at game 5 of the ALCS in Anaheim(one of the best games ever)...the Red Sox "used up all their wishes" just to get to the WS that year.
And let's face it...Buckner's fate ended up a lot better than Donnie Moore's.
NEVER BEEN TO ST. LOUIS HAVE YOU?!!!! The PEOPLE of St. Louis are a class act. You go to the ball park and you are looking at mid America. Only about 3 million people a year attend Cardinal baseball games. Don't be a whiny little piece of cow dung on such a great night for St. Louisans!
I wish DFW was a baseball town like St Louis, instead of worshipping Jerry Jones’ jockstrap.

I understand completely.
The fabled Cardinals organization has, in just the last 25 years had several seasons in which they played scintillating baseball up until the Fall Classic. and then couldn’t close the deal. They came within a single pitch (2-3 times) of doing it again this year.
It happens, and it sucks.
LaRussa is a POS
McGwire is a POS
Why does MLB allow these Pete Rose-esque pr!cks to even be in the league?
But at least St Louis has all of those titles to fall back on, the Rangers have Zilch.
But I’ll always have the ‘68 Tigers, at least. ;)
(Now I wish the Tigers had made it, I don’t think they would have made as many mental errors as the Rangers did, even if the Rangers had more talent)
Tigers won in 1984 also, but then that wasn’t against the Cards... ;)
But y’all got your revenge in 2006.
Nobody remembers that, or that they weren't supposed to have a chance against the Mets (who in turn were lucky to have got past the Astros in the NLCS).
“Buckner's fate ended up a lot better than Donnie Moore's.”
Red Sox Nation was more forgiving then - Billy Buck got a standing O his first AB the next season.
Donnie Moore had a lot of issues not related to baseball.
You haven’t posted here in over a year and you drop in to post this idiot vanity.
Grow up, loser.
The Rangers ROCK, but they didn’t win tonight.
The Cardinals WON, fair and square.
It was an exciting series and both teams have loyal fans.
That’s true, too - he may very well have ended up the same way if he’d struck out Hindu instead of giving up the tater.
Hey I was rooting for Texas just to stick to Cliff Lee and I also hate the Larussa and the Cardinals.
However, Texas put on the most pathetic display of baseball pretty much in the history of the World Series.
If the Cardinals played hard and won out I could understand but they sucked also, 99% of the other teams in the past that made the World Series would have crushed the Cards in 4-5 games with all the mistakes they made, but not Texas, they went ahead and sucked and choked worse.
Each team is making 5 -6 Bad News Bears type errors a game, the starting pitchers can’t make it past the 3rd inning, the bullpen is pitching batting practice and only if they can find the strike zone at all (walk in a run and then hit the next batter, the Mets don’t even do things like that), base running blunders abound, the managerial decisions are bizarre to say the least, etc, etc
The quality of baseball the series displayed was like watching two last place teams play each other.
May Texas go back to being a forever .500 irrelevant team and not ruin the Series like the choking Braves did throughout the 90’s
They had pretty much a "We're Just Happy To Be Here" demeanor about them....no killer instinct at all.

Yes, I will admit that did help. Somewhat.
However the 1968 wound inflicted by Curt Flood's mishandling of Jim Northrop's fly ball,(I was in 5th Grade), is still there,and it is permanent.
Sorry to say, for Rangers fans, the 2011 trauma won't ever completely go away. All you can do is assuage it with Championships in the future.
And the Braves needed a shorten season to get that one
...(either that or Phillies management must be filled with complete baseball-strategy idiots)
Face it, the same baseball gods that love teams like the Cardinals and Yankees...hate the Cubs(and others).
...nobody said life was fair.
LaRussa a genius? He can hardly drool out a sentence to the ump when he tries to make an inane argument about a call . . . and then he forgets what he was arguing about . . . LOLOLOL
Tony's managerial moves are all routine . . . he basically got lucky in his series. Nothing he did led to any advantage . . . he can't even wipe his own ass anymore.
But all that aside, as a human being, Tony is just such a piece of garbage . . .
Because the opposing manager was a mental midget.
