Don't blame the Cards. They didn't win the National League so why get on them.

This is ugly. I believe the Cards have lost 6 of 7 on the road this postseason.

Going to be a quick series if they can't win at least 2 at home (duh?!?)

So if everyone wins their home games, that means Red Sox win 4-3, right? Cool.

If it plays out that way, it will be exactly what happened in 87.

And it would be hilarious (from a certain point of view) that Clemens, whom lost game 7 of the NLCS would be the direct cause of the Sox getting home field. Thanks and no thanks Rocket.

OTOH, at this point, game 7 would appear to be wishful thinking....

Well don't give up hope yet, asleep. Long series, and the Sox are worse away from home. This series will at least go 6.

Hope is not lost, yet anyway, at least in this household. I'm just thankful that I've grown up a bit since, say February of 2002 Otherwise this would be killing me, absolutely killing me. Its good to actually care about something other than sports, that way your heart won't get ripped out with something as silly as your team losing, eh Apoc?

It's a good looking team, Carpenter's loss was really a tough pill to take. They may have done better in Game 1 (for instance) with him.

Actually, I believe the 2004 Yanks have already been named saddest team in any sport in history already. The Cardinals will just be the ones that lost the World Series. No big whoop.

Well, except for like 4 Canadians who really remembers much about those comebacks (ok, some more may know about those Leafs).

If the Sox win it all, a hundred years hence, Bostonians will speak of Damon's heroics in Game 7 while sitting in Curt Schilling Square. They may go see a game in President Kerry Stadium at David Ortiz Field .

This one, undoubtably, has more staying power.

This statement does not seem to match your previous one AT ALL, you know that, right?

The only one not "supposed" top do anything is Boston winning the World Series. Anything beyond that is in the realm of the possible.

Actually, it does. They've become the saddest team by the sheer fact that

a.) they're supposed to have the best players (number 1 salary in the nation)
b.) they're supposed to be the most dominating team (26 past World Series championships)
c.) they have an actual history and rivalry with the Boston Red Sox, to whom they are never supposed to lose

When it comes to the designation of "saddest team", the 2004 Yankees win hands down. What a team is "supposed to do" and what it actually does determines how the team should rank. Doing nothing of what you're supposed to do makes them the saddest.

The 3-0 comeback is only part of it.

You know that, right?

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Well, all I know is that the 2004 Yankees WILL go down as the biggest choakers. It isn't just that they were 3-0, but were THREE outs from closing the sweep when the wheels came off and Rivera blew the first of his two saves.

Already cocky- man, the greatest irony in history would be for Boston to go 3-0 and then lose. But that would be too cosmic an occurence for our lifetimes.
