Congrats to the Cardinals!
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
I humbly set down my Astros pride and congratulate the St. Louis Cardinals for making it to the World Series. Game Seven of the NLCS last night was about as dramatic as you can get with great defense (on the Mets' side) and timely hitting (on the Cardinals' side).
New York left-fielder Endy Chavez made one of the greatest catches I've ever seen to rob Scott Rolen of a two-run homerun and keep the game tied at one. Tied until the ninth inning, anyway, when Yadier Molina, who only hit .215 with 6 home runs during the regular season, sent a ball into the left field bleachers where Chavez couldn't get to it.
The Mets didn't go quietly, though. They loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth before Carlos Beltran struck out to end the game.
The bad news for St. Louis? Now they have to play an American League team, which at first-glance looks vastly superior. I'm going to cheer for St. Louie, though, since I always side with the NL, so hopefully they can perform better than the 'Stros last year and at least get a win or two.
