Sox will wrap it up tonight. That'll make a great WS matchup. I'll save WS predictions until the Sox actually win the ALCS.

Man, talk about a change in momentum! Although we'll never know how it would have turned out, that 1st inning call (def correct it WAS an error) / Napoli double sure did change things.

That's not the way to react...
No one, including Cardinals fans, wanted to see that game end on an obstruction award of home plate. We wanted to see a win, but not in the manner in how it was presented. Cardinals fans, more than any other team, share outrage at umpires deciding World Series games. I don't mean the baseball rules deciding games, I mean umpires not making the correct calls and deciding the games. Don Denkinger has burned that lesson into our brains for all eternity.
No true Cardinals fan would be happy to win that game if Jim Joyce's call had been incorrect. If that call would have given us the game and it would have been looked at afterward and been obviously an incorrect call, it would have been a travesty, and we would have been just as upset as anyone else.
The fact is that the call was correct, in every conceivable way. I was shocked when the definition of obstruction was read on MLB network and it specifically addresses the situation that happened last night as very likely being obstruction. Some Boston fans reactions show that they have an incomplete understanding of the rules, and they're letting their "fanness" get in the way of the rules of the game. However, most Boston fans are accepting the game for what it was, a tension filled game that went down to the end and due to an error on the catcher's throw, the Cardinals won the game.
I respect that reaction...and I have no doubt that this will give them an emotional lift to come out here and play with extraordinary passion tonight...

That was a real bonehead way to end a game why would you even think about swiping a bag down by 2 with Beltran at the plate in the 9th. Damn Go Cards!

Fun series, very competitive. Boston was just slightly better.
Congrats to the Red Sox.

It wasn't fun, it wasn't competitive, and Boston wasn't just slightly better.
We couldn't hit anything. Our ace pitchers got hammered. We couldn't play defense worth a shit. The only two games we won were given to us on errors by Boston.
It was a series rout, much worse than 2004.
