... I don't know what else to say about this team. Either they'll get some hits and score some runs or they won't have to worry about packing again this season. I wouldn't go to the level of calling them Cubs, but maybe that level of insult will wake them up and get them playing. ...
These Cards are playing like Cubs
Full of Sports —
LOS ANGELES — Those lucky Dodgers, leading a charmed life and enjoying outrageously good fortune. The Dodgers thought they were playing the Cardinals in the 2009 NL Division Series. Instead, the Chicago Cubs showed up again. Last October, the Dodgers swept the Cubs in three games, swiftly ...

Cardinals Have a Ways To Go Before They Are Cub-Like
Tales from Aisle 424 - A Cubs Blog —
... The culture of the Cubs and their fans will not change at all until they actually do win a World Series. In the meantime, everytime somebody makes a misplay, blows a save, or strands runners in a crucial situation, the comparisons to the Cubs will always be there for hack journalists to get some easy laughs.

Cardinals Get What They Deserve: MLB Division Series Day 3 Preview, Friday 10/9
Bleed Cubbie Blue —
... But then I saw (thanks to Jessica for posting it in last night's game thread) this astonishingly bad piece of "journalism" from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz, and I thought I'd get it posted right on the front page for you to see this morning.

Enough With The Towel Excuse
Sons of Steve Garvey —
... Holliday, to his credit, has not tried to put up the waving towels as an excuse. Holliday said he lost it in the lights, and he obviously feels terrible. And any rational Cardinals fan can't really come down too hard on Holliday, whose addition to the team late in the year basically propelled St. Louis to the divisional title, not to mention that his home run earlier in NLDS Game 2 put the Cardinals on the board in the first place. He botched a play, but closer Ryan Franklin let four more batters come to the plate, adding a passed ball to boot. Let's not try ...

Irresponsible Journalism at its Finest
Talking Chicago Baseball - A Cubs and White Sox MLB blog —

Usually I'll let shots from the national media and even other towns media just bounce off me, other places like to laugh at the Cubs misfortune, not a big deal. This morning though St. Louis Post Dispatch writer Bernie Miklasz struck a nerve with this lovely piece of writing. ...
The Day After: Even The Home Folks Are Smacking The Cards Around For Gagging
Blak4rest: Sports, Media and Vegas —
... OK, almost. Still, them's fighting words. Seriously, the Cards' inability to generate much offensively has helped put them a victory away from going fishing. That, and a certain line drive Matt Holliday says got lost in the lights. Another matter of concern for Cards' fans is closer Ryan Franklin. Granted, Holliday screwed up what would have been a quiet ninth yesterday, but what happens if Franklin comes on to shut the door of a one-run game tomorrow? Cue in the violin music, please.

Ex-Cub DeRosa On The Ex-Cubs Curse

... media headed his way. "It better not be because I'm not retiring for a while."
Then he thought and added with a slight smile:
"This is three years in a row. It is me."
Gee, and the Cubs might think about bringing him back as a free agent?
Of course, DeRosa could more easily have blamed his teammates, because he had more hits in the series (five) than any other Cardinal, including Albert Pujols.
"It is what it is," DeRosa said. "I'll keep grinding."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer Bernie Miklasz blamed the Cubs for Thursday's loss (no, ...
