Tiger Food: Cardinals 3, Mets 1
What was I saying about the Mets? The Cardinals' improbability field seems to have swallowed Scott Rolen — who hit a long flyball that narrowly missed becoming a game winner after Endy Chavez somehow, miraculously, snagged it over the wall and doubled off Jim Edmonds. It was a terrific catch, but since the Mets eventually lost, it, too, will likely be forgotten.
And then, of course, Yadier Molina's long shot that nobody except the bullpen catchers could get to. Adam Wainwright snuck out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the bottom of the ninth by striking out Carlos Beltran, and hence the Redbirds hie themselves to the World Series.
Improbably.
So, we have a rematch of the 1934 and 1968 World Series, and you have to go all the way back to the 1973 World Series, when the 94-68 Oakland A's beat the 82-79 Mets in seven games, to find a team with such a bad regular season record in a non-strike year.
Tigers in five.
