I was so confused after the first sentence lmao.

I put this on in the background and 12 seconds into the video I started thinking... "Why do I hear Dick Gumshoe's theme?" I'm not playing Ace Attorney right now.

Counterargument: The series is really interesting in its display of perhaps the most favored team in World Series history (to that point) systematically imploding one game at a time. Anthony Reyes (the worst World Series Game 1 starter of all time?) beating a future HOFer, and then Detroit's comedy of errors in St. Louis make things more interesting than, say, the 2007 World Series a year later

Tbf to the Cardinals regular season record, they had dominated the two previous years with essentially the same team. They just had a lot of injuries during the 06 season, but had their dominant lineup fully healthy for the first time all season once the playoffs started.

this was really great, keep making stuff

I watched the official film at least 100 times as a little kid. This series made me fall in love with baseball, it's fun to see it in a broader context.

Cubs fan here, but you got my subscription. Great video!

love the little dad lore you threw in there

My take on the 2006 Cardinals and this series is different. Their margin of success was so slim that individual performances by role players were vital. If Ronnie Belliard hadn't made the magnificent play he made in the San Diego series. . .If Taguchi hadn't hit the homer in the Met series. . .If Spiezio hadn't tripled in the Met series. . . If Eckstein hadn't been johnny-on-the-spot during the Series. That is what makes baseball great. (At least it was great until recent, idiotic rule changes that have ruined the game.)

If Albert didn't hit that home run vs San Diego to halt the losing streak they don't win the division

As a Cardinals fan the disappointment of the 2004 season really sucked. It was a very good team, winning 105 games. It’s definitely more fun to get in the postseason with low expectations when/if you can succeed. Remember the 2011 season we made the playoffs on the final day of the season. Unfortunately though the 2006 and 2011 seasons gave the Cardinals front office all the more reason to have a pray and hope type of philosophy when putting a team together. Hope you are good enough to win a weak central division then hope things happen to go your way.

The Tigers’ bullpen cost them the AL pennant in 2013.

I remember my mom always had good morning America on in the morning before I went to school and all they had to say was "Detroit and St.Louis" had the highest crime rates in the USA and they were playing in the world Series I was and always have been a cardinals fan, I've grown up through the best era in cardinals history can't complain.

As a Mets fan, any mention of the 2006 season gives me a sudden urge to cry. 🙂🙃

You’re right about the World Series being very “mid” this year. But you’re dead wrong about this team being a “bleh” team. You have to realize that three years prior the Tigers went 43-119 and looked forever doomed, not making a playoff appearance since 1987. That Tigers team came out of nowhere. It was loaded with talent. Verlander won the ROY, Joel Zumaya was hitting 105 before a guy named Chapman did that on a regular basis, the line up was loaded with talent. Pudge, Chris Shelton with his amazing one month, later replaced by Sean Casey, one of the best pure hitters I’ve ever watched in Placido Polanco, Carlos Gullien, that bum Brandon Inge had his best season ever, Craig Monroe - who hit 17! 17! Home runs in the 7th inning or later that season, 27 on the year, Granderson, who was a budding star and the always dependable Ordonez. That was not just some “meh” team. That was a great squad filled with young and the right vets. They needed Leyland to bring it all together and they did. And that’s another thing, Leyland hadn’t managed in SIX YEARS! In his first year back he takes a team that hadn’t won anything in almost 2 decades to the World Series. Good video, but man, you got that part wrong.

As an Astros fan; the Pujols homer off of Lidge still haunts my soul. Almost 20 years later and the ball still hasn't landed yet.

As a Tigers fan, this one still hurts so much.

Nah, Pujols owned Lidge’s soul til about 2008… then he got it back by besting the… Tampa Bay Rays? And was on the mound for the final out of the World Series. And he made 53,000,000 in salary over 600 innings pitched in ten seasons. Yeah Pujols is one of the best players of all time but Lidge got paid and got a ring.

Subbed from the opening line found my people

Izzy married our cousins neighbor so we always chatted him up. Kinda cool finding southern Illinois channels

Tadahito Iguchi was on the field for 2005 White Sox. So Taguchi wasnt the first Japanese player

Besides game 6 in 2011 ,this club gave me the most improbable and memorable win in game 7 vs mets

I actually remember watching this World Series

What does "literally no reason" mean? Based on how you used it, I will just say ..... GRAB A FRICKIN DICTIONARY!!!

Man, need to settle down with the narration, you had almost as many errors as the Tigers. (solid video, I'm just a long-frustrated Tigers fan)

As a 2000s Detroit this is my favorite baseball team of all time

I remember my dad having to come tell me and my friend to watch the last 3 outs becuase we could care less about the games, and the sad thing is we lived 30 miles away from STL.

2012 WS as well. Tigers just got demolished by the Giants except in game 4 it was close

I literally only watched this because I saw David Eckstein. I absolutely loved watching him play in Pawtucket and wished we'd kept him around in Boston. Loved his hustle.

I watched the World Series movie MLB made about the 06 Cardinals approximately a 1000 times as a kid it’s what got me into baseball I still love So Taguchi because of it

I remember the Mariners signed Weaver the following season and he ended up being such a letdown.

The 2006 NLCS had total 1988 NLCS vibes. Poor Mets.

The 2004-2009 world series was a 6 year stretch in which the result was 4-0 or 4-1. '04 was exciting for Red Sox fans ending the title drought but obviously the ALCS was much more memorable. I don't watch much baseball during the season- just highlights- but like to catch a couple world series games. These matchups were dreadful though. Now I don't really even watch the world series until game 4 and that's only if it's 2-1

Great video. As a Cards fan I do agree is was boring but I was 29 yrs old and waiting for so long to see another championship from them. I will take this. You did mention even though Cards season was bad, 2004 was a year that they should have won and 2005 slipped away from a hot Astros team. Either way you look at this, between 04 - 06, Cards were bound to win at least one. Add 3 future Hall of Famers (Molina will get there soon) with Rolen and Pujols, a HOF manager with LaRussa and a should have been Hall of Famer with Edmonds, that’s a really good team. If you ask my opinion, I forget the 2013 WS. Hated that series. We all knew Red Sox were going to win again and Matheny did not know what the heck he was doing.

That Tigers team was on fire during the first two rounds of the playoffs. Sitting for a week they went completely cold. You'll never convince me Detroit doesn't win if they'd gone right into the series. Detroit's lineup went from hitting almost .300 as a team to under .200 in the series. That wasn't because of an all star pitching lineup by the Cardinals.

As an Oakland A’s fan suffering through the current relocation, getting swept by the tigers for the AL pennant doesn’t seem that bad now

I love the usage of ACE ATTORNEY MUSIC!!!! Didn’t think anyone who watches the MLB has also played ACE ATTORNEY!!! Just for that alone Like and Sub from me 👍

as a horrifically biased Cardinals fan, this series ruled 2nd best world series ever

The Red Sox had the potential to be a dynasty from 2004 2005 and 2006.

Watching the pitchers throw the ball all over the field and puke the series away l, was brutal. The fact you don’t know the reason the tigers were so good that year, is questionable

So was the 2023 World Series. Arizona was awful and their luck finally ran out in the World Series.

As a Cardinals fan finally getting to see them win a World Series, it was a great series. 2011 was better though.

The White Sox World Series from the previous year was MUCH more exciting. Especially Games 2 and 4. EDIT: It is worth mentioning that I wish baseball fans watched the World Series regardless of which teams. They need to be more committed.

id say its a matter of opinion. and as a cardinals fan it wasnt uninteresting at all. your take on the wins loss records show just how much better baseball used to be.

If you think that series is terrible, the 2007 World Series was so fun that you end up with kidney stones.

Go Cardinals

As a cardinals fan, I don’t care that this is considered the worst World Series ever. As a fan of them, I would have rather taken a sweep.

Respectfully disagree. 06 World Series changed my life forever. My first date with my future wife was on Friday October 13 2006. We had multiple dates during the WS and she even suggested we pick places that had the games on. Odd behavior for a blossoming relationship and here we are 18 years later. She did kinda kill it shortly after when she wanted to watch the movie Fever Pitch but she's a Floridian and never followed baseball so I forgave her

There was one reason for people to watch it, to see if Pujols finally get one.

If it was Mets vs Tigers, it would have been more interesting...

I look at this series as Cardinals getting payback for whatever voodoo the Red Sox were using two years before. Seriously being down 3-0 to the Yankees then coming back to win 8 straight, don't tell me someone didn't make a deal with the devil on that team.

My Tigers were a flop in 06 & 12.

Ohtani will shatter the record of that Japanese player with 2 titles.

This was the Joe Buck emo/show no excitement era. What a horrible call on the final out. kind of an injustice to his father's legacy tbh. He broke out of it in 2008 thankfully. I wonder what happened that caused him to stop calling the games like a robot.

Is it mid af though? Thats the real question. Gotta hood it up and dumb it down a bit more.

As far as World Series entertainment goes the final out to clinch the best of 7 if you’re a cardinals fan makes going 7 irrelevant. As a Cubs fan I’d have greatly preferred a clean sweep instead of the stress of being down 3-1 and the emotional roller coaster of game 7.

Sounds like bitter grapes to me... how super intetesting would it had been if the Tigers won it in three as the east coast media proclaimed? So the proverbial David sleighing Goliath in five games is boring, but the giant stomping out the man is exciting? The east coast media was embarassed by this World Series, as are you...

O I’m sorry was Verlander, Pujos, Pudge, Rodgers, Ordonez, Rollen, I could go on. Along with 2 historic teams with World Series history together. Along with both being underdog stories wasn’t exciting enough for you.

I’m sorry to disappoint but I’m a Cubs fan……. There I said it please don’t kill me!

Don't be jealous! THAT'S STILL A REDBIRD WINNER! 😊

You're not allowed to say this when the 2012 World Series exists. In terms of on paper win/loss the Cardinals were the biggest Underdog of any Wild Card Era playoffs and won it all. You can't fault them for winning, fault the teams who apparently were so much better yet lost to Anthony Reyes and Jeff Weaver lol
