Hopefully it's not the arm he uses to drink beer with!
I agree that the Cardinals will probably win tonight and I hope they do. It's been a long time since we've had a winner-take-all game. But there have been many Game 6s that were eked out in an unlikely way. The Cardinals could play better but still lose a close game.
I actually don't care if Game 6 is close as long as we have a Game 7. There have been many Game 6s that were blowouts to set up a Game 7. (The 2001 World Series, for example.) It would be great if Game 7 were close too, but I'll settle for just having one at this point.
Both teams have fought for this, and maybe the Cardinals mostly of late, but it would be a shame to see Texas, pretty good all year, to lose this series.
They appear to be a team on a mission, but sometimes that gets in the way as we saw with the Yankees at times. Philly seems to be the team that will be on a perpetual mission as long as they have their deep pitching staff. Texas just needs to keep on doing what they have been doing, which may be boring, but it's to keep the other team to low points. Just strike out the batters and that keeps the pressure off of the Texas hitters to come up big.
So much attention will be on how big the Cardinals could hit, but that has not been the dominant factor in this series overall. The best thing for Texas is to keep this a very boring nine innings tonight. The Cardinals have nothing to lose going for it all so Texas has to be very smart on their pitching. When it comes time to use a reliever, just do it and don't overwork the starter.
