You forgot to add the 'question' marks to the exclamation marks PLAYOFFS ?! Playoffs ?! for the inflection he gave to the reply to the reporter. :D
One of the all-time classics.

Goes down in NFL lore like the Dennis Green comment following a Mon. night loss to the Bears when an irate Green said this (pounding the lecturn ):

"The Bears are who we thought they were! That's why we took the (bleep) field! If you want to crown 'em, then crown their (donkey)! But they are who we thought they were, and we let 'em off the hook!" — Delivered after a Monday Night Football loss to Chicago in 2006.

I thought about the ? marks. I just remember him saying it. Nice to know Jim Mora is still with us at about 90 years old.

Crazy that the team is in the exact same spot 3 months later.

Nothing compares to Lee Elia's rant about Cubs fans from April 29, 1983. :D

You can easily find it on YouTube, but if I linked it I might get banned. :wink:

Not to be a downer, but the Cards are in fourth place in the NLC, just 3.5 games out of fifth.

Well, in that case you're potentially only 1 boyfriend out and still in the race.
Now if she has 2 boyfriends, well, you're at least still in the wild card chase.

Marv Levy was an assistant football coach way back in the 1950's at Country Day High School in Ladue just in case anybody is interested.

Making the playoffs all depends on what happens by trade deadline. If we sell, playoff hopes are over. No significant changes and our chances are as good as anybody trying for that third spot.

A testament to the mediocrity of wild card baseball. MLB should never have let that horse out of the barn.

Being the 3rd Wild Card team should NEVER be the goal. If you are trying for that, you are a loser and wasting your time. We are rebuilding and have a great start with a nice group of young players. Stay the course and build a real WS competitor.
We need another top 5 draft pick to really top off the team,...so...go Cards and lose lots of games.

MLB allows less teams into its playoffs than any other American sport.

The NHL and NBA are the worst, where half the teams make the playoffs, rendering their regular seasons almost completely meaningless.
