Cardinals eliminated from Division race - Cubs do the job

[shaunguth]

Looks like Atlanta will have the same "remote chance of postseason play" as the Cardinals.

Or not!

Some consolation to Cubs fans...
Soriano's homer put the spike through the heart of the dying Cardinals

They sure did....PLAYOFFS!

EVEN WITH THEIR BEST PITCHER OUT THE WHOLE SEASON AND THEIR SECOND BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYER NOT PLAYING DOWN THE STRETCH, THE CARDINALS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.

Darn it feels good to be a Cardinals fan.

I actually like the Cardinals chances to make the playoffs. Might have to change my avatar if they make it. But, that doesn't mean I am pulling for any Cardinals wins in the playoffs.

How about those Phillies!

Probably a year or 2 longer than Mike Quade

A lot of Cardinals fans remind me of this guy...



He just wanted the to make sure the Cub fans could read it.

I don't think LaRussa is holding the Cardinals back, but he's definitely set in his ways and those ways saw our best young hitter (Rasmus) traded away. I love LaRussa, but his time should be coming and I kind of personally hope he retires within the next 2 years.

With two of the top three pitching prospects coming up the farm system in the next couple of years (Shelby Miller and Carlos Martinez), the Cards need to start planning for the future and LaRussa is no spring chicken.

TLR is pretty much a lock to managing (somewhere) next season. He's only about a couple months worth of wins from 2nd on the all time list which I'm sure means a lot to him. That's reason #1 of why he'll be managing next season. I do believe it'll be with the cardinals because his last contract had an option on it after this season that I believe will be exercised. If Albert is signed I don't think there's anyway Tony even thinks about walking away from the cardinals next season. But that's next season...we are in the playoffs and have more important matters ahead. It's interesting how the cubs fail at everything...they can't even properly kill off the "dying" cardinals. Can they do nothing right?

Sorry I had to get my jab in there.
