I don't want to be kicked off the site for posting innapropriate content or anything, but shouldn't we feel a little bit bad for Texas?
Texas has never won the World Series.  St. Louis has won it a million times.  Texas had this game in the bag again and again, but then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Our own  Mark Lowe (who went to college in Arlington and probably dreamed of one day closing for the Rangers) lost the game.  I'm sure some Texans might feel bad if Justin Smoak messed up Seattle's world series.
Also, shouldn't we hate on St Louis for its lucky dispatchment of Atlanta, Philly, Milwaukee? It appears that the latest victim is just on the horizon.  St Louis beat three superior teams to get where it is, and now is about to do the same with the undisputed toast of the American League.  Why? Lucky breaks, all of it.  This sort of winning makes baseball seem unfair.
"I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all."  Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NIV).
Sometimes the best teams don't win.  Sometimes, all of them get beat down by the Cardinals.
Just a thought.
