What an AWSOME game. Yadi’s time was up and he clocked it to thrust the Cards into the World Series. Way to go Babyface!
“ST. LOUIS — It isn’t quite a miracle. And it sure hasn’t been a classic. But there’s a word for what the St. Louis Cardinals are on the verge of doing to the New York Mets. History.”
“You had the 1906 Cubs (a ridiculous 116-36) tumbling to the crosstown White Sox (93-58) in the World Series. You had the 1954 Indians (111-43) falling to Willie Mays’ Giants (97-57). And you had the 2001 Mariners (116-46) crumbling in the ALCS at the hands of those four-time champs from the Bronx (95-65).
And that’s it.
Until now.
Maybe.”
