Posted this in another thread, deserves to be mentioned here as well.

Three words for ya: Allen Fukkin Craig.

I don't think people realize how important this is. Did you realize/remember that he dominated in the 2011 world series, and would have won WORLD SERIES MVP had David Freese not gone ape shit in game 6?

Do you not realize that ALLEN FUKKING CRAIG is hitting .454 with runners in scoring position this year? Do you not realize that is THE THIRD BEST OF ALL FUKKING TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME?

So, the team that tied for the best record in baseball without Craig down the stretch, who beat two teams many favored to make the series in the Pirates (riding the wild card momentum that's carried multiple teams to the WS in the past decade) and the Dodgers (favored by many on paper before the season even started, and favored over the Cards before the series), this team who accomplished all this now gets arguably their most IMPORTANT and dangerous hitter back in the lineup?

Do many of you also realize that Matheny who now coaches the Cards, was in his last year as a player, starting at Catcher for the Cards in 2004 when they lost to the Sox? Do you not think that Matheny has been fukking ACHING for a chance to help avenge that beatdown from his last year in the bigs? Do you think he's not mentally prepared and focused to strategically put his team in a position to win every game in this series?

Does ANYONE think the Cards are going to get blown out again? If so, you haven't been paying attention.
