2011 Postseason

[Deadlift]

I'm very glad that Pujols (and Furcal) didn't do much. Milwaukee's manager appears to be incompetent.. he should have realized that his team was doing much better when Rickie Weeks was out with injury. Why mess with that chemistry?

However, Roenicke is pandering even more to his light-hitting hispanics..

 

[Deadlift]

Milwaukee not winning two games in a row -- in St. Louis -- isn't all that surprising. Only scoring one run, though, doesn't feel right. It just doesn't. Their non-White hitters likely "packed it in," and will magically show more life in Game 6 at home.

 

[Deadlift]

Part of my dream has come true.. Josh Hamilton's Rangers are in the World Series for the 2nd straight year! Now, with your Whiter lineup this year, go win this one!

Last night, Josh Hamilton just missed hitting a 3-run HR.. what an amazing player. I'm so happy right now.

 

[knightedsoldier5000]

Cardinals win! Cardinals Win!

White man David Freese (3B) busts open with several HRs and extra bases hits in this series.

Cardinals are a very white-friendly team!

It's a STL-TX WS !

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

I'm pretty happy to see the St. Louis/Texas matchup, all things considered. There should be ample opportunities for white stars to shine in the WS.

The rundown on the St. Louis postseason..


--Philadelphia CHOKED against St. Louis. Obviously, guys like Carlos Ruiz and Raul Ibanez shouldn't have even been on Philly this year anyways. Polanco isn't that useful these days, either.

--Milwaukee/St. Louis was pretty much an "even match-up" as neither team was deep in starting pitching, and, with Nyjer Morgan, Milwaukee's clubhouse was likely cancerous. The media falsely treated Nyjer Morgan and Rickie Weeks as "stars." Yuniesky Betancourt is overrated. Milwaukee's "actual stars" are Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, with Milwaukee receiving solid contributions from Corey Hart and Lucroy. And, Mark Kotsay had 1 or 2 big hits in the postseason.

If Milwaukee's light-hitters get on base, and then their big-bats hit bombs, they will certainly look very potent on offense. However, that strategy is not as workable in the postseason. Doubles are more important in the postseason. So, Milwaukee's failures weren't that unexpected, and they also suffered from poor managing.


--Now, onto Texas/St. Louis. Is Texas going to CHOKE - too? They are vastly superior to St. Louis, and earned the 2nd seed in the AL (behind only the Yankees). St. Louis is a wildcard that was absolutely gifted a postseason berth by Atlanta. If St. Louis goes all the way, all we'll hear is their "brilliance" of trading Rasmus (for dark players), the "magic Albert" factor, and so on. Albert Pujols is almost as dangerous to us as Tiger Woods. The closest thing on Texas is Adrian Beltre, and, perhaps, Neftali Feliz.. which is nothing compared to Albert. I ask, who on St. Louis sold their soul?

Thank You Thank You Thank You.. Thank You!

Glad to see "Arthur Rhodes" get posterized by Josh Hamilton!

Cards are both the whiter team and the less black team. Glad they are beating Texas.

But what happened to baseball just in my lifetime? I am in my early 40s and can recall when the World Series was the premier sporting event - even slightly more important than the Super Bowl in the late 70s and early 80s. All the kids at school watched the series and discussed it the next day.

Now it seems like a mere footnote. I mainly watched Bellator (MMA) and college football last night. I checked the World Series score a few times but that is it.

Could it be that baseball is simply a white thing and that as Amerika becomes more "enriched," formerly "cool" things like baseball, rock music, muscle cars and the like are considered dorky or old fashioned?

The super-high popularity of college football and the NFL has a lot to do with it. The MLB season lasts too long and conflicts with the football ones. Baseball does pretty well in most aspects of attendance and viewers til September starts, but then a lot of people turn to the gridiron. Bud Seligula and his cohorts running the game don't care as long as they continue raking in the big bucks, yet it's hard to see this continuing indefinitely. I guess with the 25%+ foreign players in the game enable them to sell their product in a lot of other countries.

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

You'd think the Cards and Rangers could each find better LH RPs than Arthur Rhodes and Darren Oliver. The HR pitch Oliver served up to Pujols last night seemed like it was done on purpose to me, with the velocity, location and reaction of Oliver afterwards.

It is worth noting who Pujols HRs were hit off of..

His 1st, a 3-run jack, was hit off of Ogando (who looks like an Afro-Indian mix to me): http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/players/playerpage/1174266/alexi-ogando

His 2nd, a 2-run jack I recall, was hit off of Mike Gonzalez (a Mexican-type latino from Texas): http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/players/playerpage/175027/mike-gonzalez

His 3rd, a solo HR, was hit off of Darren Oliver as you noted.


--This eases the "pain" a little bit, but I knew it was only a matter of time before Pujols would explode. He wasn't going to be kept down forever..--

 

[Deadlift]

OMG! Mike Napoli absolutely CRUSHED that ball!

I think that baseball is simply a victim of CM. In the late 1970's with the Willie Stargell Pirates and the "We are Family" black thing, the sport was at a populity height, and even into the 80's before the strike, baseball was a major draw in SoCal with the Dodgers and to a lesser estent, the Angels. Baseball is constantly being force-fed whatever blacks and other minorities, when at the end of the day, the best are whites. So it's been a slow downgrade of media coverage and the all-important hype-machine that has relegated baseball to it's current state. No matter how many Dominicans or "others" MLB tries to throw at us, the majority of farm teams and college teams with U.S. talent are white, and that's a no-go for the PTB.

Another major factor is that baseball at its essence is a slow-paced event with lots of nuances and strategy involved that very few casual fans appreciate. The attention span of the average American has been greatly reduced and though the networks try to market baseball as a fast-paced sport like football, hockey and basketball, it just doesn't work. I was a baseball fanatic for a long time but my interest now, as with other sports, is almost solely from a racially aware perspective in observing and documenting how the Caste System is implemented in the sport.

I'm surprised MLB draws as well as it does. I wonder if the attendance figures aren't inflated ala the NBA via lots of corporate purchases of tickets and lots of tickets given away, as well as announcing the total number of tickets sold and given away rather than the actual turnstyle count.

 

[Deadlift]

The White Power Rangers have made this into a series!

I've noticed that Beltre is looking old, and so Texas can't expect much from him. Josh Hamilton - battling injuries - had some nice at-bats tonight and hopefully that continues. Andrus has a decent eye at the plate, and may prove to be more important than the "streaky" Nelson Cruz.

I stand by by initial observation as it pertains to MLB. Sure, it is relatively slow-paced, but it is an intriguing sport that has NO competition during its key Summer months, which have been traditionally a "pasttime". Make no mistake, baseball has been targeted for "extinction" for a long time by the PTB because it is not "interesting" to the diversity crowd. Because of its nuances and strategic nature, it is a "white mans sport" and needs to be minimilised. I can't say that I haven't been affected. As a certified former DWF, I was completely aghast at the strike way back in "the day" and have been perfectly innoculated against the evil, racist sport of baseball.

As a result of caste-awareness, I have taken a new, limited awareness of the beauty of the sport, and have seen the continuing ravages of the cult-marx agenda on this sport. It's too late to get my oldest son, who could have been great, to participate, but my youngest is gonna be throwin' the ball.

Give me a pacemaker...

This was the most incredible World Series game EVER! Texas survived so many early scares, really detrimental predicaments. Moreland hit a bomb to give Texas some life. Adrian Beltre finally did something on offense, hitting a HR of his own to tie the game at 2.

Then, later, Mike Napoli came through with a huge 2-run double to give the Rangers' what ended up being a 4-2 win! Right now, Napoli would be the World Series MVP, no question. I'm out of breath right now.

I have not followed this World Series at all, but while channel surfing the other day, I caught a segment on ESPN with what appeared to be their WS crew. I noticed that Ozzie Guillen has been brought onboard as an analyst. As I watched for about 10 minutes and listened to Ozzie speak, I could hardly understand a word he was saying. Shannon Sharpe, you have some serious competition!

You know, by way of common sense and even the most minimalist standards, if someone will be on television in any capacity (analyst, host, reporter, etc), it should follow that possessing rudimentary English skills should be the number one requirement. You don't need a PHd or anything, however, you need to at least the speak the language at an acceptable level so that we the viewers can comprehend and understand what you're saying.

Judging by the garbage that we're presented with on ESPN, CBS, or the NFL network these days, the only criterion to get employment in these corrupt organizations appears to be satisying the affirmative action quotas.

 

[Deadlift]

IDIOTS had to ruin Hamilton's Top 10th inning 2-run HR.. Darren Oliver? This is upsetting.

 

[Riddlewire]

Deep Freeze and Fat Elvis rescue the Cards in the most dramatic fashion possible.

Bottom of the 11th.

Go Cards!

 

[Don Wassall]

I decided to finally watch the Series and just saw one of the best World Series games ever! The Cardinals are the team that won't die. Lots of heroics, esp. by David Freese, Lance Berkman, and Josh Hamilton (in a losing effort), among others. Freese tripled in the bottom of the 9th with two outs to tie it, and then homered in the 11th to win it.

 

[Riddlewire]

Now takes over 1st place as the best baseball game I've ever seen.

One more for all the marbles.

 

[Highlander]

Helluva Game 6. Berkman, David Freese, and Josh Hamilton were clutch and came up big. Extraordinary.

Hamilton's swing is one of the prettiest ones I've seen. He makes it look effortless at times.

Also, Berkman must have ice in his veins to come through with that hit and good to see Freese redeem himself, going from goat to hero, with his triple and then game-winning homer after he dropped that easy pop-up that allowed Texas to score.

 

[foobar75]

Like all of you, I decided to finally watch a WS game, and it turns out to be one of the best games I've ever seen!

I will certainly be watching tomorrow night as well.

 

[icsept]

Awesome game. I don't watch much baseball until the playoffs. But baseball is the only sport that can produce that edge of your seat drama, pitch by pitch.
