Rangers in six

That’s my considered prediction for the Series which starts tonight. The Cardinals are just too good not to win a few. Scott agrees, though his hedging is all over the block, nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers. I’ll be happiest if the Boys from Arlington take tonight’s game. More on the update.

UPDATE: Rangers in seven? It was a shock, the TR’s 3-2 loss, mainly because their biggest bats were silent. “Power Outage,” said the Boston Globe. It was that. Hope it was the cold—Elvis Andrus was wearing earmuffs. Are we in for another lost Series? Wait and see.

Cards win the series

"Favored by few, the St. Louis Cardinals used an unlikely cast of characters to win their first World Series in nearly a quarter century. Jeff Weaver dominated, David Eckstein drove in two runs on balls that didn’t leave the infield and the Cards took advantage of another wild throw by a Tigers pitcher to beat Detroit 4-2 on Friday night and won the Series in five games."

Tom Higdon, an old Army buddy who lives near St. Louis, will be celebrating this weekend.
