GDT: 2019 NLCS: (3) St. Louis Cardinals vs (WC1) Washington Nationals - WSH wins 4-0

[Terry Yake]

would prefer the nats but i say cards in 7

 

[David Dennison]

I don't think the Cardinals are gonna be able to overcome 4 games started by Scherzer and Strasburg.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Nats in 7, but I'd be happy if either team won. Both "likable" teams, tho it be nice for the Nats to stick it to Harper and make the series.

No. Cards are not likeable at all. I don't care if the 'hate is running through' me. I do not like that franchise. No, I do not.

 

[bluesfan94]

Nah, baseball is dumb like this. I see you're a big fan

I'm going with Cards in 6, but I could see them finishing this in 5. I believe the Nationals used all their good mojo to win against the Dodgers, and will not have a disappointing series after such an emotional series win.​

The rest have changed relatively recently, though, right? I just assumed baseball did too and it’s been so long since the cardinals have been in....

I have always liked how they conduct business and build their teams. Usually don't go for the flashy free agent signing and they rarely make blockbuster trades, Goldy being the first one in a while. A lot of build from within and in terms of successful franchises, they probably have the least annoying/cocky fans.

Yes, yes, they're a very well run organization with a history of success and blah blah blah...

They definitely have a history of big trades though

McGwire - 1997
Jim Edmonds - 2000
Scott Rolen - 2002
Wainwright for JD Drew - 2003
Larry Walker - 2004
Mulder for Haren - 2005
Glaus for Rolen - 2008
Holliday - 2009
Rasumus - 2011
Heyward for Miller - 2014
Ozuna - 2017
Goldy - 2019

Not that I desperately want to correct you, but I would consider the Ozuna trade to be similarly "blockbusterish" like the Goldschmidt trade. Anyway, I think Washington has better pitching, which usually decides a series.

Cards in 6

Just a model franchise at this point that others should strive to be like

 

[GKJ]

lol, some of you are kidding yourselves. No one likes the Cardinals, other than their fans, and maybe old Expos fans this week. I don't blame Expos fans for feeling that way, but definitely hope the Nationals win. Wouldn't mind seeing some Phillies fans get soured up.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Nats in six.

 

[Canes]

I can't believe I'm saying this but go Nats. Get Scherzer a ring.

Nats winning would be cool just to see the reaction from Phillies fans.

As long as they dont win the World Series (which they have a slight chance of winning), none of us care if they made it. Just like the Mets in 2015.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Nats are 4 games away from WS and Nat fans are spending time thinking about Bryce Harper 24/7

Hell at this point they don't deserve success

I dont get it either. They never even made the playoffs til he started playing for them. That franchise went 31 years between playoff appearances and I know they would have made it in 94 without the strike. Washington never had a winning season til his rookie year.

I love our resident psychopath. Get him a ring!

lot of people are tired of the Cardinals. They’ve made what 425374 NLCS

 

[hockeykicker]

Obviously the answer is to hope for the Yankees, known for their lack of success, to win the next 8 straight World Series.

Ignore the haters. Jealousy has compounded over the years.
