Well said sir.

I have much respect for the organization myself. My grandfather was a Cards fan and THAT is what I'm still holding on to when I think about the Cards.

NVgrf:
Have to side with TT here. I have nothing against talking smack on blogs whatsoever. I have done it for years. My talk on the GAZ blog is pretty mild, compared to other blog sites I have been a part of. That said, if you are going to talk smack, then don't be so foolish to make statements you don't stand behind. Everyone knows you claimed you were DONE with the GAZ blog. I even commented when you made the claim that I'd be sad to see you leave, as I liked you posts, even though I often did not agree with them. You really look beyond foolish when you make statements like that, and then LOW AND BEHOLD when things are going good (for the Cards) here you are again. It truly does shatter ALL credibility, and makes you look like a total CUBBIE fan, IMHO!

All said, I personally like the Cards. I am a Brewer fan 1st, but have always had a lot of respect for the Cards organization. It's a true baseball state (where WI is much more of a football state 1st), with a great front office, and a very knowledgeable fan base, who have great passion for their team, and the TONS of history and tradition that dates back over a century. I'm hoping for a Cards-Tigers world series. Any of you all remember that last series? I think it was in 2006. Detroit came in as the overwhelming favorite, and they just COLLAPSED. Remember all the wild throws from the pitching mound to 1st base, and 3rd base? Many were calling a Detroit sweep or Detroit in 5, where it ended up the cards in 5!

Nice posts. If either of you ever want to wax nostalgic about any of that, I'd be more than delighted to have The Bullpen edit it and post it on Peace & Glove!!

When Billy Williams hit Gibby so well I could see how he got the nickname "Sweet-swinging Billy Williams"!

My favorite pitching matchups were Gibby vs Fergie, Gibby vs Seaver, and Fergie vs Seaver.

Musta had a few cocktails for the game KP?? Yer drunk, nothin tops my hair;)

Here I opened this up thinking it was about a local bar... nope. Just about guys that hit a ball with a stick... woooo.

I should have known that a person of my prestige would command a national audience. I didn't mean to put this evil on you, Tim. Truth is, no one can handle all of Kenny_Powers. No one. I repeat, no one; regardless of how great your hair is...I'm Kenny effin' Powers.

BTW. The bobble head looks great. It will grace the top of my desk until next year when I win another bobble head from P & G.

Better luck next year.

How does it feel to fail?

It is kind of insane, but its also not. I root for dift football teams all the time. Tell yo friend I'm sry he hates my blog(the word hate has been used more on this thread than all others combined), but I'm not sry for talkin up the brew crew:)

A good friend of mine is a die hard cards fan. (He hates your blog btw, Tim. When I told him I knew you personally he almost soiled himself. He said it's pretty cool that I know you, he just doesn't like how you always talk up The Crew ;-). )

Seeing as how I'm not much of a baseball fan anyways, I kind of root for whoever my friends root for. Brewers come first (probably just because I'm a Wisconsinite), then it's a toss up between the Cards and the Cubs. But, if I understand that correctly, that's like saying I root for the Packers, or the Vikings or Bears equally (and that is insane...)

I don't hate, but I'm envious indeed. That's what winning championships does...

I'll be the first to admit, i hate the Cardinals. But it is truly out of jealousy.

'I like it best when I can enjoy my team(and I do!!) without carving yours up or vice versa.
We should each enjoy our teams successes at every point that we can because sports is very cyclical. It can go south in a hurry!'

Exactly.

As you have seen rtabb, I enjoy the respectful discussion as much as anyone. There are times when talking sports it's totally ok to go juvenile but the poster tjnjc is referring to, and I posted at, has never presented himself or his organization in a respectful way. Even the non-Crew fans that read this blog agree with that. It's sad. Unfortunately, as in life I KNOW it's all about the 10%ish of any segment that makes the 90% look bad.

Side note: Welcome to P&G where we try to have civil baseball discussions and political talk is only ok when I start the convo:) Also, I've stated this several times before but this is a blog for the people...if you have a thought to share let me know. I'm ALWAYS open to a guest blogger or two:)(no one has taken me up on it:)

I am obviously a STL fan. I am a baseball fan first. I enjoy the GOOD natured rivalries that exist. The Brewers fans(the true, real ones like TT) have a right to enjoy their team, and have alot to be proud of and to look forward to(the last few weeks of the regular season proved that to be true). I like it best when I can enjoy my team(and I do!!) without carving yours up or vice versa.
We should each enjoy our teams successes at every point that we can because sports is very cyclical. It can go south in a hurry!
Go Redbirds!!...and I look forward to that first Brewers-Cards series next spring.

The hate and disrespect is pretty much one sided to that guy who lives out west. The rest of the posters here are pretty good guys.

I'm new to the P&G, so i assume i missed something. Looks like we have some serious Brewer vs Cardinals hate going on. I work with both Cards and Brewer fans and myself being a Cub fan we have some pretty heated debates also. Sounds like fun to me.

And for the record, I would appreciate each and every post you make on P&G, if you would opt for the mature side once in a while and show some respect. Rare is the situation where I am the mature one in a discussion...

You said you were done with the Gazettextra, then when questioned you refined that statement to say you were done with my blog(in not such respectful words mind you) yet here you are, the morning after one of the greatest comebacks in post season history, posting on Peace & Glove in typical belittling fashion. I LOVE that you think of Brewer fans as often as you do, but please, stand behind your words. The Peace & Glovers thank you.

Just curious....have any Brewers fans been able to pinpoint the differences between the Cardinals organization and the Brewers organization yet? The differences radiate from ownership to the clubhouse boys. Thought this would keep you thinking between sips of beer. Wouldn't this be a great topic for a serious baseball fan's blog?

Tough loss for the Nats. Hell of a game though if your a baseball fan!! Cards are an amazing team when the $$$ is on the line. They just always seem to find a way to get it done, even when the odds are always against them. Detroit looks tough of the 4 teams left, but as always these series are WIDE open. Any of the 4 left could easily win.

Go Nationals!!!!!

A "John Axford" Bobblehead??? I'll bet sometimes it "bobbles" and other times it doesn't.

I want to see the Tigers win it all. Verlander is a beast and Cabrera and Prince can flat out hit.

Thanks for the post kio. We have fun with this blog and I'm glad there are a few peeps who enjoy it:)

I'd like to see the Nats go somewhere, mostly cuz of their 1st opponent though:) When it gets to the playoffs, if the Crew isn't there, I mostly just root for game 7's!!

LOL, I can't believe I was even in the running to even win it. It was actually a very 'formful' finish. I thought Cincy was obvious as day to win the central. They were heavy chalk to start the season in vegas. My big 'dig' of the Pirates up in 3rd place started off with a big flash, but typical Pittsburgh, they just fizzled down the stretch. Funny, but the NL central finished almost as Vegas predicted (they had the Crew slightly better then St Louis for 2nd)every other division had MAJOR surprises.
.
Anyway; thanks for the contest TT.
Not often that people will take the time, and pony up to do such a thing on any blog, even if it's just a small prize. You pulling for anyone in the playoffs now? Still quite a few ex brewers in there (Prince and JJ the most notable)

Hey, thats my mojo!!:)

"I'm just an average American... with extraordinary hair"

I have the mind of a scientist.

Give him an old ticket stub as a consolation prize. Or a super nacho helmet.

Q: How do you lose 100 game!??!

A: Play for the Cubs or Astros.

Son of a be sting. I blame it all on the Cubs! How do you lose 100 games!??!
