You can go to a playoff game and not have to pay a small fortune since they frequently make deep playoff runs. Cubs on the other hand people have to pay crazy prices because who knows how long they’ll have to wait until the opportunity will come around again.

Yeah, has nothing to do with the Chicago metro area being 4 times larger than St Louis, I'm sure...🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I can't believe Anibal Sanchez was that close to a no-hitter. The Tigers got rid of him two years ago even though it meant paying his buyout last year; they just wanted him gone because he was so terrible.

This is first time in 4 years you've made playoffs. Regarding Cubs...not only have we made the playoffs the past 4 years but our fans I'd say outnumber Cardinals fans somewhere in the 10-1 department...probably higher. Usually has an impact on supply and demand for ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing numbers my guess is bigger stadium and less competition to attend sporting events since St. Louis is barely a 2 sport town. Good luck on the series.

So, we just need Scherzer, Strasburg, and Corbin to do Scherzer, Strasburg, and Corbin like things and I will be able to watch the World Series.

rico Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Am I right in thinking that only the Nats and Mariners are the only teams that have never appeared in a WS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that sounds right. Besides the Cubs when I really fell in love with baseball was Pirates/Orioles series. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't either of those teams have been back since 79. Maybe the Orioles did one other time. Edit-Had to go look. Forgot about Orioles/Phillies I95 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico is correct. And the Orioles beat the Phillies in 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers last was 82. What a time. Hard to describe to a non baseball fan how exciting it was for a kid to get out of school, get dropped off by the bus and run home to watch the final innings of playoff baseball because the games had already started. Not like Yankees/Astros game for example where the final will end around 1130 EST if lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 So by my math this is the 50th anniversary of the Nats/Expos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use to have about a 2 inch square piece of the old Busch Stadium astroturf somewhere. Lacledes Landing was crazy that night. Bars were sending trays of champagne out to the massive crowd on the street. I've never been a Cards fan, but that was a fun night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of bittersweet seeing these former Tigers pitching in October, remembering their days of getting the Tigers to 3 straight ALCS and thinking about where the team is now.

Scherzer sure looked great today. 1 hit over 7 innings with 11 Ks. Looking bleak for the Redbirds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season has already been a success. Made a nice postseason run and beat a team that won 97 games. Still have a lot of questions on offense.

Some have season tickets. A successful season to them is at least making the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
