amartinez15 2011 tops both combined.

1986 NLCS and 1986 ALCS even better..

2006 was great too

uh, 2006 with Wainwright and Beltran kind of tops 2004 and 2005!

Except the 04 alcs

Berkman or Allen Craig should have been the WS MVP in 2011

lol no@@hmhm856

11-9 , weird how you can remember so many meaningful moments but not a final score . Wouldn’t expect much from a cards fan

@@LouieiuoL1223 I've got chunks of punks like you in my stool.

Joshua Chard totally thought the same thing 😂

Lol right off the bat

Wouldnt expect any different from the Man of Faith

Why to

@@trudyvilcek6014 it's nostalgic bro, back when FOX used to be popular in 00s even MLB on FOX.

Same here!

I agree with you 💯 percent

The black was better than white in MOST asspects

I was there baby, and at G6 the night before to witness Edmonds walk off HR!

Walker-prime Pujols-peak Rolen-peak Edmonds is a ridiculous 2-5.

Damn Red Soxs

they weren't even picked to win the division though! Having to rely on Jeff Suppan to outpitch Clemens worked here, but wouldn't have the vast majority of the time

Christopher Johnson most definitely

If Edmonds didn’t catch that ball depending on the speed of the hitter and the runners on the bags it would’ve been a 2 run triple or a 1 run double.

Rolen's homer and Edmonds catch

Paula Houlden it was before the cards became dirty

I agree despite their recent success, Astros should’ve stayed put in the NL.

cotton cotton yeah I hate them both now

The Astros were my second favorite team next to the Cardinals. I didn't care that we were rivals. The power that both teams had made me love baseball as a kid growing up.

@@DrunkenSlob Don't throw stones....Skank....just saying...every team has their skeletons...ooops!!! Banging on a trashcan!!!!

1burnman had?

ilikereallylongnamessotheycouldgooffthescreenandstuff yes I mean have and had

1burnman lol i was gonna say :)

Pujols, Rolen and Edmonds were all 3, 4 and 5 in MVP voting behind only Bonds and Adrian Beltre. The big 3 all topped 1.000 OPS as well and with Edmonds and Rolen all-time great defenders and Pujols emerging as a very good first baseman himself. Don't know of many big 3s like that. Shame Pujols and Rolen broke down in their early 30s.

Hard to believe they got swept in the world series that year.

Then they became arguably the best team in the AL since 2017, winning a World Series & two more pennants. A shame about the sign stealing scandal though

This comment from 9 years ago did not age well

I think you mean "juiced"

Enter a name here a little bit of both

Screw em?

What’s crazy is that the 06 Cards that actually won the World Series were probably weaker than their 04 or 05 teams.

But then got swept by the Red Sox 😁

--Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.

And one slip on a hot mike derailed his career.

Too bad we got swept by Those Damn Red Soxs The day will come when we will get Revenge on the Red Soxs in the World Series and will Avenge 2004 and 2013

Got replaced by the Even Better in the Business

Cubs fan here but I do have a great admiration for the Cardinals. In fact because of Sept. 11, 2001 I have become a fan of all of baseball.

+Brandon Ritter TY. perfect

+Brandon Ritter Saved 2 runs and xtra bases.

tubenachos for sure depending on how fast Kent was at second and Vizciano might have been pretty speedy too it would’ve been a 1 run double or a 2 run triple

😂😂😂one of my favorite calls lol

It was just bad luck. Those red sox could outslug just about anyone with papi and manny anchoring that lineup

@@alfredolopez5408 Bad luck and Roids. Ortiz, Ramirez and Clemens all known juicers, and probably more. If this were college football, their WS title is removed.

He never would've been considered a HOF'r if he didn't use roids. He started using when his career started fizzling out in 1995. At that point he was considered a guy who had a great run, but couldn't reach that next plateau of consistency. Thus, he was traded away to Toronto and the rest is history...

Wrong. Clemens started in '98 when the Jays hired Brian McNamee and signed Jose Canseco, hence the infamous June party at Canseco's house. And he'd only use in the second halves of those '98, '00 and '01 season for stamina so it was subtle, which is why his body didn't change. His '97 season was better overall than his '98 one. The only difference is Clemens dominated the second half of '98 after struggling to start (compared to '97) while in '97 he fizzled out somewhat in August and September compared to the first 4 months. We know Clemens 2001 steroid cycle started in August thanks to McNamee, but Clemens was actually 15-1 and leading the league in strikeouts through July so in that case it didn't appear the roids helped as his ERA dropped a negligible amount. Like Bonds, he was EASILY a HOFer before steroids and should have been first ballot, especially when they put a bigger known juicer like Pudge Rodriguez in first ballot. Thankfully, it looks Clemens and Bonds now have a good chance of finally getting in the next few years, but it's already a bad joke they've been held out.

History should be factual. That's literally a made up narrative that lazy people jumped on when they saw Clemens began juicing in Toronto, but they miss the fact it was his second year in Toronto after the most dominant year of his career in '97. Except people usually choose '96 to point to his decline, which is problematic as Clemens tied his single game record with 20 strikeouts, led the league with 257 total and 9.5 per 9, was 2nd in hits per 9, 7th in ERA(top 5 in adjusted ERA+). That's actually an outstanding final season in Boston. He had a bit of a down year in '95, but that was one of the strike-shortened seasons and he was injured keeping him out until June and was still excellent with the exception of a horrible July, but he was outstanding in the shortened '94 season as well leading the league in hits per 9 and adjusted ERA+, finishing 2nd in strikeouts(both total and per 9) and normal ERA and 3rd in WHIP. So this alleged decline is an old myth that's long been debunked. Roger was outstanding from 1986 on. He had a few off years spread out over a long career, but never more than one in a row after breaking out in '86. His worst year was probably '93, which was a good 5 years before he first used steroids.

I don't care about the scandal, Beltran was one of the best players I've ever seen and should be in the Hall of Fame.

looks like i'm not the only astros fan who came back to watch this classic game today

@@CrumBummin Me neither, IDK why am I comment this video... I'm such an idiot. I wanna face em in the World Series for the NLCS rematch from: 2005!

Buck sucks.

They are probably the best 2 announcers though.

Been saying it for years. Brennaman is fantastic.

Exactly

Wrong

Yes (and I really wish they won without cheating). They went through years of heartbreak after heartbreak (they just couldn't seem to frickin' make it to the World Series!). This might as well be considered the dark ages for them. They make it to the NLCS here in 2004 only to get beaten by the Cardinals. In 2005, they finally make it to the world series, beating the Cardinals in the NLCS, and finally getting their chance. They get swept by the White Sox. And they don't make it again and suck for years after this. Not only that, but they had three of their worst records during this time. In 2015, they finally made the playoffs again, but get beaten. Same with 2016. Then, it happened. They made it back to the world series, beating the Yankees in the ALCS, and getting another chance. An incredible (at the time) world series ensues. Finally, after so many years, they win the World Series against the Dodgers. This seemed like an all-time high point for them. Not only that, but in 2017, 2018, and 2019, they seemingly dominated. Many hometown all-stars becoming renowned throughout the league. Not only that, but they made it back to the World Series in 2019, beating the Yankees again in the ALCS. However, they lost against the Nationals. It seemed like the greatest time period in Astros history. Then, it happened. The scandal broke. It ruined the Astros reputation. Their championship? Tainted. Their celebrations? Pointless. Hometown all-stars becoming some of the most hated players in the league. It seemed like the Astros were catapulted back into the dark ages. Hopefully, one day they can win a real championship.

It was just one season. The ‘22 win was their redemption.

@@billgrimes7146 This is true. Their second championship put it all to rest.

how did a team that won over 100 games like this just fell apart in the world series vs Boston.

because is the team that gets hot at the right time that wins it all.

That's true, just look at the royals of this past season 2014.

Nathan Shank yup, after that LCS we were screwed before it began.

+Nathan Shank I agree but chill with the whole put the best 25 couldn't beat the Red Sox.

Nathan Shank I assure you putting the best 25 players of all time , could beat the 04 Sox or any team

Lmfao. Yeah, the Astros sure put up a great fight the following year when they got swept by the WHITE SOX. DOH!
