nah homefield advantage will come through, but the cardinals have certainly given it a go since the opening 11-6

Go Rangers!
Beltre had a triple-HR game to see off the Rays and he had a shot at a 4th which no-one has ever done post-season.
Still think Phillies will win the classic but I'd love to see the Rangers AGAINST Cliff Lee after his heroics last year.

Don't know whether it's smart, it never is normally, but my money is certainly on them and I'm starting to get a bad feeling about tonight.

If you see a bloke walking round Brighton today in a Cardinals shirt, with CARPENTER on the back.
That'll be me.
Complete game. Three hit shutout to send the Redbirds to the NLCS !
What a fcuking superstar Chris Carpenter is

Cheers Granny. I wonder if they are familiar with the term "our name's on the cup" in the midwest ?
This Cardinals team were dead and buried, 7 games behind in the wild card as late as mid September.
Un-be-lieveable

Does all of this mean that the Dodgers won't be champions this year ?

Wow!!! And given that we were double digits games back in the Wild Card at one point, this is one helluva comeback!

Interesting that the madman LaRussa gave the ball to everyone except Jason Motte in the 9th early in the season but finally came round to the notion that the best reliever is the man to close games. Plays havoc with your fantasy league team ...

Cardinals win Game One.
Excellent tactical game, with the managers trading blows and unsurprisingly Tony La Russa getting it spot on.
Not having it on TV, I listened to the whole game on BBC 5 live sports extra. It was funny listening to a very English commentary. To an American I expect it sounded about as odd as it does to us when Yanks talk football, just using not quite the right terminology and so on.
Bloody good though. And I'm completely knackered this morning as it didn't finish until 4.15

We did - #gorangers!
Superb execution by the speeedsters Andrus and Kinsler, taking advantage of a seemingly small mistake by Pujols in the field. From staring at 0-2 Rangers are now favourites to win the Fall classis for the first time ever. But it will be very tight, both games have been tactical and tense.

Motte loss and blown save last night, maybe La Russa's instincts were (as usual) correct.

La Russa got it wrong last night. Switched pitcher, first pitch HR MIke Napoli 4 zip Texas. Holland pitched superbly for the RANGERS.
Quite a series 2-2, guaranteed to go back to St Louis now.
If you watch this clip Baseball Video Highlights Clips | texasrangers.com: Multimedia the final commentary from the St Louis announcer says, deadpan, "Swing and a Home Run". That's how well he hit it. Tomohawked.
