Game 5 of the NLCS was rained out tonight, meaning they play it tomorrow (if possible), then move immediately to Games 6 and 7 (if necessary) in New York. The World Series is set to start on Saturday, and even if things end on schedule, Detroit will still be coming off six days rest. Good luck, Senior League.
I stand by my earlier sentiment. The Cards have, in the past two seasons, served as the welcome mat for one team to win their first Series in eight zillion years, and another who'd never made it at all. I'd just as soon not see Pujols et. al. moping in the background when the Tigers win their first title in 22 years.
But maybe I'm being pessismistic. Maybe Weaver and Suppan can continue pitching above their heads, maybe Molina and Speizio can keep delivering clutch hits, and maybe Pujols will finally get his World Series MVP trophy. I'd certainly welcome that, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Yet. Check back here after Game 6.
This entry was prompted by repeated searches for my "the Mets are pond scum" entry.
Before the Cards actually win tonight (or tomorrow night), I would just like to be the first to say, "They do not deserve to be in the Series." I say this not just because during the last two weeks of the regular season they folded like a house of, um, well, something you make a house out of that then folds. But also because we all know they will just go on to lose the Series again in a major fashion.
The Mets deserve to go to the show far more than the Cards do, and if the Mets weren't missing their two best pitchers during this NLCS the Cards would likely already be done.
I hate baseball. Feh.
Remind me to smack you in the head whne I see you Friday night.

oh yeah, the Cardinal cheer was from me.
Glavine vs. Weaver, on full rest. Not exactly Tom Seaver and Bob Gibson.
I still think you're going to owe Lyn a brewdog.
