This isn't news, and it may be deleted, but tonight that last ever game at Busch Stadium was played. It's not music news, but it is an important event in history to me. I've spent alot of time there over the last 18 years, and I hate to see it go. Good luck to the Astros and the White Sox in the series, I'm predicting the Astros in 6. Post your predictions in the replies.

and im sure there's going to be a shit load of new white sox fans. i know of very few people who are white sox fans, the only person i know of on this board, and who has been outspoken about it is kirby from punkvideoguys.

Being from this great baseball city, it definitely is going to be one of the biggest events in my St. Louis life. I know exactly how Caleb feels because he used to live here (COME BACK). He knows exactly how much baseball means to this city, how classy we are, and how much we really do appreciate being known as the best fans in baseball. I loved it there at Busch. I love baseball so much, so seeing this go has lately brought back some memories, such as being with friends and family and witnessing some of the biggest things in Cardinals history. I've been to many games there, probably near 80-90 in my life (I'm 17) and it feels like a part of me is about to be toppled with a wrecking ball. My memories go down with that stadium.
The new Busch looks awesome. Here's to a new era.
And to the guy who said "fuck pujols" - what Pujols did that night, will probably not happen again in a long, long while. And no, I don't mean a go-ahead homerun - I mean a go-ahead homerun in the top of the 9th with two outs facing elimination from the playoffs against someone who is considered "The Cardinal Killer." Not only that, but 3 minutes before that, we were one strike away from elimination with Eckstein, and Edmonds actually got on base for once. That was unbelieveably clutch. It just goes to show what happens when you don't quit.

its not like they win it all too often. money doesnt buy a championship. it buys you extremely overrated pieces of crap like jaret wright, carl pavano, etc. etc.

I was a catcher that could piss off a batter off in under three words I had a gift. And I had an Arm, I could get the ball down to second in under 2 seconds. But I admit I was stupid and arrogant, could have played division one if I would have worked my ass all through High school instead of waiting untill my junior year. I'm not just talking or trying to make my self sound great, I hate when people do that. I now Coach my old highschool in the fall and summer. It's great fun.

Pencil me in for right field. I've been known to throw out a few runners going first to third.
And though I would like to see the White Sox win this year (so that Ozzie Guillen can be instantly put on the retirement hot seat), I know as a Yankees fan that Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte know nothing else but how to be clutch playoff pitchers. Pettitte's WS Game 4 gem in '96, Clemens' 15-K ALCS game in 2001 against Seattle, the list can seriously go on for a while. Hell, Clemens is, close to unarguably, the greatest pitcher ever. I honestly think that the White Sox are over their heads right about now.

Hey man, it's cool. We've silenced our critics allllll season. Only one more obstacle to go. Our guys are focused and our pitching is unstoppable. Oswalt is shakey and pettite is overrated, Clemens can only go like 6 innings. We'll see how things pan out.

We need pitchers and a 3rd baseman. Now are we gonna be an AL or an NL baseball team? Because then we are gonna need a DH if we do AL. Jason did you say who you think is gonna win? Oh and you don't get to play you can be the coach i guess. haha

hmm, ive been here since january, so if that's new ok.
and as for the baseball team, count me in at DH. im too lazy to play in the field. i DID set the little leauge record when i was 10 for homeruns in a season because i was too young to play with kids my age, because of my bday or something. so instead of facing real pitchers, the coaches pitched. so basically every AB i got a homerun, 33 that year, in 10 games haha. and i played for mcdonals, so everytime someone got a HR you got a free big mac...damn i was fat after that summer.

Sox SWEEP
oh and for the one who posted about Astros winning in 5 with their pitching... uh, Sox has a strong 4 man rotation as well, and power hitters and base hitters, as opposed to the Astros who failed to produce runs for their pitchers all season long. sad.

Eh I'll put my money on Chicago in 7. I'm from Boston, I feel their pain. Plus I already lost a bet on the 7th that Boston was gonna beat Chicago, so my money's on them.

I've got third or I can pitch. Played third for seven years, three years on varsity in high school, and pitched relief all through high school. Batted leadoff, too. What about the batting order?

uh, "in 4" is a sweep, which is no wins bro
This was the first stadium my parents took me to. Unfortunately I don't remember it, because I was 2. Then we moved.

FUCK you, Pujols is the best there is right now. YOu have no idea what you are talking about.
CArdinals were robbed that ump blew that call at second, he never touched him, and ruined what was building to be an awesome inning. I am so upset right now I love the Cardinals and always have, always will. Heres to next year.
I don't even care who wins Now. LOL, pujols IS the best, that's why the cardinals are playing the world series right now...douchebag.

Like the ump messing up that call would have made the difference. You have to know when to let it go and just say "my team didn't play as well as the other team". This was the case with the Astros and Cards, as it was with my team, the Yankees.
Pujols is a great player, no denying that, you just can't expect one man to pull you to the Series.

One player does not make a team. The Astros and White Sox don't have any hitters anywhere near the caliber of Pujols, and they're both in the World Series.

my season was complete at the end of the regular season when the brewers finished at .500 and over the weak ass cubs. cubs fans arent so outspoken about their team these days.
2007. Brewers. Playoffs
I wouldn't rule out '06 for you guys.

O you are stupid, The Cardnials are more than just Pujols it takes the whole team and yes he is the Best, he played great, better than anybody else. The Cardinals lost not Pujols
you probally think that selfish steriod taking ass-hole bonds is a great player

YEAH I know that I just needed t vent. But as an Umpire, and a Guy who has been thrown out by umpires, I like to give them a hard time. I know that didn't lose the game for Us they should have had better innings all along. There is no game ever that an umpire lost for a team. All they had to do was play better.
I'll bat 3rd or 5th in the line up, I batted over .500 my senior year.

white sox in 4.......thats right i said it, i fucking love the white sox to death.....im glad for biggio and bagwell. and i fucking hate the cardinals anyway (probably because my roommate talks so highly of them like they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but obviously not). white sox becasue their pitching is deeper than the astros.......maybe in 5, ill give one to oswalt.
Deeper pitching?! They have the worst bullpen ever! If the Angels would have gotten to their bullpen it woulda been over. Houston has way better pitching with experience. Houston in 6.
I'm not even going to pretend to know who is going to win it all. Both teams are well-rounded, gutsy teams, that fucking WANT to win. I see this series going to 6 or 7, but I wouldn't be the least bit shocked to see one team beat the other.
