Now what? Are you pulling for the Sox or the ASStros?

Our litany of choke jobs. (Well, not 1985 so much, but the others...gag city.)

2. I would not say that 1987 was a choke job
Cardinals and Twins went 7 games. That does not spell choke to me.

3. Yeah...if the Cards had home field advantage, they'd have won.
All the games in the baggie dome were close. The Cards blew out the Twins in Busch. Stupid alternating home field. The Cards had a better record, and home field in the WOrld Series should go to the team with the best record. Yeah...1985 and 1987 are sore spots. x(

5. I so wished the Twins could have won one in Busch
Sore spot for me too.

In 1991, the Twins lost all three at Fulton County Stadium too!

4. what is it about the Cardinals
that every post season they turn into the KC Royals. They don't just lose, they suck doing it.
