No.  They were doing it wrong.

Mr Havas...your thoughts please

To play baseball is to persevere. 162 games from the warm of spring to the cool of autumn, it's the marathon, it's the race. Playing every day for weeks on end, sun beating down, hour after hour, game after game, weeks after months after years. When you lose your ace, when you lose your bats.

When your rising star loses his life, tragically and sensically– you persevere.

This Cardinals team persevered. It took to the end of one of the most grueling seasons in history in the most competitive division in history for the Cardinals to finally cede a sweep. After every loss, on the field and on the roster, the Cardinals would not give up, they would not accept anything less than the best. They won 100 games, they won the NL Central, and they did it without Waino, Holliday, and Adams. They did it at times without Grichuk and Piscotty, and they had to finish it without Yadi. How? Garcia, Carmart, Lackey, Lynn, Wacha, and Marp and Heyward and Jhonny and Wong and Cruz and Grichuk and Piscotty and Pham and Reynolds and Moss and Rosie and Maness and Siegrist and Broxton and Villanueva, and, you know what, Matheny. And each and every one of us, too.

The playoffs don't tell you which team was best, the only thing the playoffs are good for now is giving one team a ring. Because baseball isn't about being the best in 5 games and it's not about being the best in 7 games. It sure as hell isn't about being the best in 1 game. It's about being the best in 162 games, and only one team can make that claim- the Cardinals.

100 wins in the toughest division in the history of the sport. Clinching the title of winning the toughest division in the history of the sport. That's your best team, that's your "world champion." The Cardinals- and no one else.

Sounds extremeskins-ish.

[ice grillin you]

I agree the best team in baseball rarely wins it all and I also think its harder and more impressive to have the best reg season record in mlb than it is to win the ws....but unfortunately for st louis that's not the system they currently play under

[ice grillin you]

Sounds extremeskins-ish.

what makes it sickening is not the premise itself but the fact that you are supposed to somehow sympathize with a team that has two recent world series titles....get over it

[Sgt PSN]

Other than 1 bad pitch in the 2nd inning, Johnny Cueto is dealing.

[MDS]

you clearly dont know much about cardinals fans

No, what makes it sickening is the idiot who wrote that either doesn't understand how a playoff system works or doesn't want a playoff system at all.....just crown the team with the best record at the end of the year.

[ice grillin you]

if the baseball playoffs werent so awesome id have no problem with getting rid of them....the winner of a season as long as 162 games deserves the title....but st Louis is not some team that has the best record all the time and doesn't win the world series so they should shutty as doug heffernan would say

Regular season records don't mean dick if you don't finish it off in the playoffs.   And no one cares about your stupid division title either.   If it did the 90's Braves would be the greatest team in the history of the planet.
