As a Cardinals fan, I don't expect a World Series every year, but I do expect to be paying attention to the games in September. Doesn't always work out that way, but more often than not, they'll be in the thick of it.
Would like to see them catch the Braves and host the one game WC game, rather than go on the road and play.
Who has been the Braves best pitcher this year? I can't imagine who the Cards would throw in that game, though. Waino has been No Bueno the last two games. Kyle LOhse maybe?
