Cardinals Win!: Hell or High Water Edition

Phillies fans know losing. They also know a lot about the Cardinals...enough to name just about every notable (and not so notable, Greg Jefferies) player in the history of the Cardinals franchise and say something disparaging. Nonetheless, we have 10 World Series titles...and Alyssa Milano! How charming.


Further evidence of the Cardinals' long-standing commitment to winning came earlier this week. It was only a regular season game against the Pirates, but the St. Louis Cardinals came from behind to win it in the 12th.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch:


"This is a game that we win that some other teams don't win," said La Russa, sounding as much like a proud father as a winning manager. "I'm not saying we're the only team. But you lose Rolen. You don't have Carpenter. The guy (Spiezio) who replaces Rolen is not going to play. He guts it up. You bring in an emergency starter.

"We're going to play nine hell or high water. Sometimes you get a win just because you go out there, you try hard and you do things right."

I am afraid that this statement is not correct"We're going to play nine hell or high water. Sometimes you get a win just because you go out there, you try hard and you do things right.".
".I would appreciate if you can further elaborate this.Thank you.
