Cards Dealt a 19th World Series Entry

Before game six of the NLCS, almost every so called “expert” I heard, more or less said, “with Kershaw on the hill it would be LA (Dodgers) in game six,” so of course, the St. Louis Cardinals won and will play in their 19th World Series.

The Fall Classic will begin Wednesday night either in Boston or Detroit. The Cards are (11-7) in previous World Series.

The Cardinals cruised in game six as Kershaw left in the 5th inning and yielded 7 runs in the game.

Overlooked Cards’ starter Michael Wacha was named NLCS MVP. He chalked up his 3rd post season win in as many starts, having yielded but one run in the three games.

The Cardinals are (7-0) at home vs the Dodgers in home games with the N.L. pennant on the line. They won a game in 1946 and three each at home in both the 1985 and now in the 2013 NLCS.

“St. Loo”  will have the “W’s”– pitchers Adam Wainwright and Wacha, ready for the first two games of the World Series on the road.
