The shot is up...and its good! General Sports Discussion

[SnowAngel]

The Cardinals beat the Mets 6-3 last night. I got to see part of the game on ESPN, makes me so happy! They are now 24-13 and after tonight hopeful 25-13. They have the best record in the league! Go CARDS!!!

It's been nearly 2 months since my last post here, since then the Cardinals have been 32-22. They are still at the top of the Central and have the best record. I am hoping to watch the Cardinals on FOX tonight and definitely going to watch them on ESPN tomorrow night. Adam Wainwright is pitching tomorrow, I love watch him pitch. He is the best!

Five Cardinals are All-Stars this year: Yadier Molina, Carlos Beltran, Adam Wainwright, Matt Carpenter, and Allen Craig. Molina and Beltran are starters this year, only the best. I think Lance Lynn should have been an All-Star again this year, but obviously he is not.

Sounds like the Cardinals might get Chris Carpenter back this year! And possibly as a starter. Too awesome! Go Cardinals!

If I hear the word agar again I will almost go crazy. Oh the ashes series when nearly all men and some women go crazy about cricket all over Australia and the uk. I just can't get into it.

The regular season baseball is nearly over, who else's favorite team is going to the postseason? The Cardinals are and this year they have the division. Well, they just need to beat the Cubs tonight to secure the division. Which if they don't win, I will be quite surprised. Lance Lynn is pitching, after that rough patch he has rebounded and his last start he pitched really good.

The rookie pitchers have done/are doing amazing job! Michael Wacha's 8 2/3s no-hitter on Tuesday, WOW! I wish I could have have seen that game.

Anybody else follow football around here?

[stargazer]

Welcome to the forum, thephfactor1!

I like to follow the NFL, though this early in the season I tend to focus on the MLB playoffs more (especially with the local NFL team off to an 0-3 start, though the Twins aren't in the playoffs either).

Do you have a favorite team or teams? Do you like to attend games or watch them from the comfort of your own home?

[thephfactor1]

I don't follow the NFL much at all. I follow NCAA football more, but pretty much just one team: the Huskers.

I was actually referring to football. Like, real football, not handegg. I like Bayern Munich, although I don't get a chance to watch as much of their games as I should/wish.

[fantasia]

I'm not much of a sports person I have to admit. The Olympic Games are about the only sports I go out of my way to watch.

I do follow my college football (handegg ) team, but I don't usually watch the games unless they just happen to be on where I am.

Handegg. I've not heard that term before. I like it.

[stargazer]

So sorry for my incorrect assumption, thephfactor1.

I'd not heard 'handegg' either. I like it too.

[thephfactor1]

You're fine... 75% of the people I know consider "football" to be of the variety you play with helmets and pads and offense and defense etc.

I may or may not have just been trying to squeeze "handegg" into the conversation.

[color=indigo]The regular season baseball is nearly over, who else's favorite team is going to the postseason?

My favorite team, the Dodgers, is playing in the postseason for the first time since 2009. While I would've rather they clinched without such a massive payroll (I feel like the franchise has become many of the things I hated about the Yankees), I can't complain about success.

I am also very glad for the Pirates that they got to win the Wild Card game so that they'll have a real postseason series for the first time in 21 years. The single elimination Wild Card game is just brutal.

[IloveFauns]

I have a minimal interest in sport. I have never been able to get excited while watching it. I usually drift off into a day dream. AFL(Australian rules football) especially. The final was last weekend, everyone was going crazy.

[SnowAngel]

The Cardinals won! They tied the series 2-2 and it's back to Busch Stadium for game 5! Great pitching by Michael Wacha, and the bullpen.

GO CARDINALS!!!!

SnowAngel

[SnowAngel]

The St. Louis CARDINALS are NL CHAMPIONS! Once again Michael Wacha pitched extremely well and now the Cardinals are head to the World Series! I'm so excited! But I am sure nobody would have guess that.

In the world of college football, the Mizzou Tigers (14) beat the the Florida Gators (22) 36-17 and that was with the red shirt freshman backup quarterback, Maty Mauk, starting his first game. The Tigers are 3-0 in the SEC and are alone atop the SEC East. Next week, they play South Carolina in Columbia, MO.

It has been a great weekend thus far, the KC Chiefs (who are 6-0) have to beat the Texans tomorrow to make it a perfect sports weekend.
