Game 1 and Game 2 showed that no one can predict these games. They were both extremely close and could have easily gone either way. The best prediction, I think, is that the series will be unpredictable.
Life-long Cardinals fan
2003, Cubs with 2 dominant pitchers, playing at home, 5 outs from the WS. Bartman. Cubs meltdown. Baseball is very unpredictable
2004, Cardinals were mashing. Dominant all year - over 100 wins as I recall. Swept in the WS. Baseball is very unpredictable.
2005, Cardinals at Astros in NLCS, down by a run or two, dominant closer Lidge on the mound. Hadn’t given up anything all year. Albert launches it up to the little train tracks in their Astrodome “mini-golf” park. Lidge’s confidence is shaken for years. Baseball is very unpredictable.
2006, Cards weren’t supposed to get to the Series, much less win it. Won it 4-1. 83 regular season wins. Baseball is very unpredictable.
2011 Who predicted Cardinals would make the playoffs when it was late August? How many predicted Cardinals over Phillies? Over the Brewers? Who predicted a 1-0 NLDS game 5? Sit back and enjoy the show that is the WS 2011 :-) Join the Yankees, Devil Rays, Red Sox, Braves, Brewers, Phillies…… who all looked like contenders. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you… the Rangers and the Cardinals. :lol:
Cardinals in 6 :wink:
