There have been two teams who have lost the WS when the team has had less than two days rest prior to the series. Both teams have been managed by Tony LaRussa.
Favoring Detroit in six games.
Love the Cardinals home uniforms.
On a side note, I've been watching the deterioating skills of Ivan Rodriguez. He's has had little impact in the post season. At the end of the year, I could have sworn he finished the season at .292 but for some reason, MLB now lists his season batting average as .300 The MSM really like this washed-up has been and Tim McCarver (also a catcher) pops a woodie every time he discusses Rodriguez.
Tigers in Four! Down with sore loser Pujols and the sore winners of the NLCS .. the cards.
On your side note ...
Tim McCarver is a moron. In game 7 of the NLCS he spent a whole inning talking about baseball socks! On top of that the A/V geeks at Fox were showing various players socks instead of the game. Geesh! What has the TV coverage come to!?!
