Bases-loaded jams, suicide squeeze, timely double-plays — it was an exciting game all the way around. And of course, for a Cardinal fan like myself, the ending couldn’t have been any sweeter — the third straight NLDS win for the redbirds.
It’s on to Shea Stadium Wednesday night for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. Can the Cardinals pull another upset and knock off the Mets? It wouldn’t be the first time they surprised their critics.
I’m a Cub fan, and even before the series started I thought the Cards had a good chance, considering Martinez and Hernandez would not be pitching.
I was talking to a Cards fan friend of mine and I mentioned how the clubs we root for are absolute polar opposites of each other.
Basically, one’s a loser and one’s a winner.
