THE " CARDIAC CARDINALS " ARE AT IT AGAIN !!!!!!!!

The St.Louis Cardinals are on another miracle run through the post season. The team has a habit of putting together playoff runs that boggle the mind. Last season the Cardinals came back from nine games back to over take the Atlanta Braves for the National League Wildcard slot. They would go on to steam roll the competition en route to a World Series title. In the off-season they lost their top player to free agency (Albert Pujos) and their Hall of Fame manager (Tony LaRussa) to retirement. Now, in the 2012 season the Cards are at it again. They won the second Wildcard slot and went on to beat ironically the Atlanta Braves in a do or die single elimination game. In the National League Division Series they beat the Washington Nationals 3-2. The Cards are on the verge of making back-to-back World Series with a win over the San Francisco Giants tonight in St.Louis. The Cardinals have dominated the Giants with a cast of blue collar players. Mike Matheny is not a veteran manager, which makes the run the Cards are on seem even more miraculous. They have a bunch of blue collar players and no national star power. David Freese,Carlos Beltran and Chris Carpenter may be there best known players on the roster. I truly believe the St.Louis Cardinals are destined to become back-to-back World Series Champions. They will close out the Giants tonight in St. Louis and take the series 4-1. The Detroit Tigers will have to travel to St.Louis for game 1 on Wednesday. To witness deja-vu with the Cards playoff success, makes me wonder how Albert Pujos is feeling as a spectator instead of focal point for his former team.

World Series: 4-2, St. Louis Cardinals
