There's no denying that the Tigers are a more complete team then the Cards... but the fact of the matter is... cards have come a long way... from them almost not making the playoff to the World Series... Pujols does carry the whole team... but this series it was the whole team that came together... both the aces for the cards pujols and carpenter didn't play very well... but the rest of the team came together and how about weaver and suppan... and with ishy out we got great closing form couple of no name pitchers... People have already counted us out but the fact of the matter we, when there's no pressure cards just play ball... the last world series with the red sox... we were expected to win some games but they swept us... it was a young team 2 years later here we are again... i am not predicting the cards are going to win... but i am definitely hoping they will... As far as i know champions come through in the clutch... with all the major injuries in the line up. la russa has managed the team exceptionally well... I hope we win... we deserve it... not to take anything away from the tigers but hey... i am a CARDS fan... After it's all said and done it will be a good series, hard fought... and hopefully pujols, Edmonds and rollen can swing and hopefully carp is back on his game... GO CARDS!
