No bullpen

Mikail · 09-28-11, 09:29 AM

overrated. I agree.

Ranked 1st in Doubleplay!

BigDofBA · 09-28-11, 10:26 AM

The Cards are near the top of a lot of offensive categories.

They hit into a lot of double plays because they always have people on base.

Likewise, when you have Pujols, Berkman, or Holiday batting, you're not going to put runners in motion and drive yourself out if an inning.

The Cardinals are a great offensive team with average starting pitching and a bad bullpen.

They are not overrated. They are a fringe playoff team.

Larussa is overrated but not the team. If the Cards had a better pen, they would probably have about 10 more wins. This team had blown a ton of saves this year. I think they blew like three in the first week

Overrated? The public sees them as a potential wild card team, they are a potential wild card team. No one is making claims that the STL pitching staff is going to win a World Series. They will be 3:1 dogs in the opening series against Philadelphia if they make it, meaning the bookmakers are giving them a 25% chance of winning a playoff series. No one is overrating them.

BigDofBA · 09-28-11, 10:42 AM

Agreed. I have seen nothing but the Carfinals suck threads. How are they overrated?

They did take 3 of 4 in Philly beating Lee and Halladay.

I'm a Cardinals fan and if they get in I think they would be lucky to win a game. That being said, anything could happen especially if their offense gets hot.

Remove holiday, pujols and berkman and you got a garbage team, lol.

coach sux. bullpen sux. cards are awful. zero chance in post-season. mark my words.

So you're saying that if we remove 1/3 of the Cardinals lineup which includes the best player on the planet and two all-stars, they will be a lot worse? Wow, thanks for the insight genius.

Removing a teams three best players usually does result in a far worse team. Are you really going to say something that ignorant?

Remove Fielder, Braun, and weeks and see how good the Brewers are.

What non playoff team in the NL would have a better chance?

The Cards are almost 20 games over .500.

Yes I am a Cards fan but I don't see how anything I said was biased. I even said they would be lucky to win a game in the playoffs. That being said, they are still a top 5 team in the NL.

colts are garbage without peyton manning, and the cardinals would suck without all those badass hitters.
but they do have all those badass hitters, therefore they don't suck. they are fun to watch, i like teams that can hit. i think braves are the boring bad team.

They can't compete with real teams. Like the Phillies, Rangers, Rays. etc. They suck!

I don't think they are a better than the Phillies or Rangers but they can compete. As for the Rays, I don't see any advantage they have over St. Louis.

If you think a team that is 20 games over .500 and 1 game away from a playoff spot sucks, then you aren't very intelligent.

You can't even name a non-playoff team in the NL better than St. Louis. They "definetly" don't "sux" as some of you like to say....

This is the single most incompetent post I have ever read. I don't even know where to start.

I actually think the second part is more idiotic than the part about removing it's 3 best players. Didn't we already establish that Vegas is going to give them about a 25% chance if they make the playoffs. And they aren't even in the playoffs yet?

Did you make a post before NFL Week 17 last year about how the 2010 Rams were overrated and how they would stand zero chance in the playoffs?

Please stop posting Sawyer.

This just in from Sawyer....If you took Tom Brady, Wes Welker, and Rob Gronkowski off the Patriots they would be a garbage team. The Patriots are awful. They have zero chance of winning 5 consecutive Super Bowls. Mark my words.

VicVega91 · 09-28-11, 02:55 PM

over rated (by the media at least) Manager

BigDofBA · 09-28-11, 10:04 PM

I'm glad some logical people entered this thread.

I mean, the guy proved my point for me. He had to hypothericaly remove three all-stars from the team to backup his point. Lmao.

As for overrating the Cardinals, who is overrating them? No one is giving them a chance. If anything, try might be a little underrated.

SparJMU · 09-29-11, 09:51 AM

Comment from Sawyer prior to the 2011 NBA Playoffs.......

The Indiana Pacers are terrible. If you took Grainger, Collison, and Hibbert off that time they would be a garbage team. They have zero chance of winning the NBA championship. Mark my word.

Definetely, Cardinals don't have a shot in post-season in my opinion.

Your opinion is horrible. I'm still waiting for you to post some more comedy. Your comment that the Cardinals would be a garbage team if we removed Pujols, Berkman, and Holliday was just classic.

They just beat the guy in your avatar.....

Can't compete? Really? They are now 7-4 against the Phillies this season. Keeping saying stupid things. You have no clue.

They may not win this series but they can "definitely" compete and they "definitely" do not suck.

BarkingToad · 10-03-11, 07:16 AM

This thread was obviously meant for the NFL and not baseball section. I'd like to see how any other team would do losing their best starting pitcher for the whole year and best player in baseball for 3 weeks. And for an overrated manager, he sure did a great job last night. He also wouldn't have been as dumb as the Detroit and NY yankees managers sending their best starting pitcher out in game 1 when there was nasty weather in the area and only getting 1 inning out of them. LaRussa had a similar situation early in the year where he started a relief pitcher, and when the game resumed after a 2 1/2 hour rain delay in the second inning, put in the scheduled starter while the Reds wasted theirs. Guess who won that game and managed to get a wild card spot on the last day of the season?

BigDofBA · 10-07-11, 10:21 PM

So the Cardinals finished like 9-5 overall against Philly this year yet we can't compete?

We just beat your ass right out of the playoffs. :LMAO:

Carpenter > Halladay
Pujols > Howard
Cardinals > Phillies

Phillies are just a garbage team!

BigDofBA · 10-07-11, 10:22 PM

BigDofBA · 10-14-11, 10:42 PM

CARDINALS WIN. AGAIN!

HAHAHAHA.

So a few people are now telling me momentum doesn't matter in baseball. I'm pretty sure these people took Milwaukee the past three days which resulted in going 1-2.......
