Congratulations Red-Birds!
Thursday, October 21, 2004
Well, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Houston Astros just finished a series that was just as good as the Yankees, Red Sox series which concluded yesterday.
The final score was 5-2, and included some nifty small ball by the St. Louis ballclub. The Astros, played a good series, but this one ended where it belonged... a victory for the St. Louis Cardinals. In fact, the home team won every game this series.
So, the World Series matchup is set... the St. Louis Yankees (as they have been called here throughout this season) will be facing off against the Red Sox... and I will guarantee this to be one of the greatest World Series since 2001... at least.
Both the Cards and Red Sox have suprisingly good pitching, and offenses which can make that pitching a moot point. This series is going to be great. I predict the Cardinals will win in 7.
However, not to dampen any St. Louis optimism out there, but I observe this: The last team to win a World Series without defeating the New York Yankees in the post-season was the 1997 Florida Marlins...
I sure wish the Cubs had made it this year. The electricity at Busch tonight was unreal. Also, I want to encourage my readers to stop by Brian Gunn's Red-Bird Nation.
