It was unbelievable to hear the noise evaporate so fast.
Eveyone from a national prespective thought the series was over heading back to St. Louis. Did you fans think it was over too? Kudos to your team for getting their heads right and winning the series anyway.
No, we were VERY deflated to say the least, but we did not think it was over because the Stros were still up 3-2 and only had to win one out of two. Also had Roy O on the mound, so we knew we had a decent chance. Had we lost game 6 tough, I don't think any of us would have had any hope of winning a game 7 in St. Louis. [Reply]

Mark Mulder's massive pussy streak came through for y'all.
Guy got a bad call against him at 2b, a bad defensive alignment where we were holding Ausmus on at 1b and a dribbler sneaked through and then he just fucking folded.
You saw the difference between an ace and a faux #1 in that game. Oswalt was unflappable and Mulder just quit and started throwing cockshot fastballs. I was in the left field stands and you could see his shoulders slump and his body language just fall apart.
I absolutely hate that guy and it's almost exclusively because of that el-foldo. What a bitch. [Reply]

He had an early tee time at Bellerive the next morning. He needed to get of there early. [Reply]
I don’t blame Oswalt. He was nails. We may have had the best team of that era and as DJ points out, Mulder just fucking wilts after giving up a homer. We can all see it. Mulder is the blame.
In 2013 we should have won that WS too but Matheny insisted on pitching to Ortiz. Got to trust my guys to get the out crap. :-) [Reply]

Don't forget him repeatedly going to Randy Choate in 2014, who, literally, threw a damned game away, with the coup de grace being putting in an ice cold Wacha into a walk-off scenario who gave up a walk-off to Travis Ishikawa, who is probably the worst shitbag to ever end a playoff series with a walk-off.

Yep, I blame the manager for that debacle. Horrible move after so many horrible moves. Fucking arrogance cost us another WS title. :-) [Reply]

Hey now... those 14 Royals were 3-1 against your Cardinals that year and undefeated in the postseason rolling into the World Series.
Assuming a Cardinals WS win has they gotten past the Giants seems... arrogant?
Can’t wait for Matheny to replace Yost because he’s a “leader of men.” (Sigh) [Reply]

Well maybe this year the Stros and Cardinals meet in the WS. Man, I'd love that! [Reply]
