Cards (+1.28) - are you shitting me, how are they underdogs? Boston had two...two miracle grand slams to get here. Oh, yeah BoSox mojo...fuck that! Cards starting pitchers throw strikes, which means the minor league 'make them throw strikes/deep pitch count' shit won't work. (how did the Tigers starters do against Boston?) Also, Cards rotation is set and the guys they run out there for games three and four pitch better at home (check it!). Bullpen, Cards are much better than the Tigers. Easiest wager of 2013. 10.00 to win 12.80. Luck & Laters!
In the world series the best team does not always win baseball is mainly about streaks ,where as in Hoops and NFL the best teams almost always wins its the spread that gets ya beat. In 1972 or 73 forget which Oakland Beat Cinci which was by far the best team in Baseball and compared to the 26 Yankees because an ave at best 2nd baseman named Gene Tennace a lifetime .240 ish player got hot and hit 4-5 hrs in clutch situations,,,,,,,Thats why the Cards can an may very well lose ,Boston has home field Adv also.
Love your confidence. Cards tend to play better as a dog. (See '06 & '11). Boston plays the speed game and loves to swipe bases. That is minimized if not eliminated all together with Yadi. But I'm sure he welomes the challenge. Your sox have a big dilemma when heading to Busch. Big decision on how to get Napoli AND Papi in the lineup. You may as well put a street cone at first base if you plan on playing Ortiz. It'll be just as effective. May the best team win. Prediction, Cards in 6 and we're celebrating our 12th title on your home turf.
Defense not an issue with Ortiz. He has always be a fine fielder. Better than Prince thats for sure.
It sucks that we lose a big bat for sure. But on the plus side we then have a big bat coming off the bench for crunch time.
Going to be a good series. I think having the extra game at home will put us over the top (if it comes to that).
Bosox 14-6 vs NL teams this year.
Cards 10-10 vs AL teams this year.
The Red Sox have the best clutch hitter of my lifetime in their lineup.
They have the best closer in the game. And two solid setup guys.
They have speed on the bases.
They play tight defense.
And their batting order takes turns getting clutch hits. 1 through 9 they are solid.
And when in the NL park they have a nice bench for the mgr to play with.
If St Louis can beat all of that, then they will deserve to be World Champs. I don't believe they will.
