2013 World Series: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red Sox.

Agreed. A rematch of the 2004 WS, and will be a sweep!

Actually, i predict this one going atleast 6 games. The Cards are super tough this time around.

Red Sox in 7

Cards in 6.

Red Bird in 6

My St. Louis Cardinals will win the World Series in 6 games.

Red Sox in 7.

Cards in 6 sounds good to me.

Cards in 7 for me.

Why is the World Series starting Wed?

Me along with pretty much everyone outside of Missouri and New England have zero interest in this match-up. I mean, is there a more boring fucking team than the Cardinals? Is there a more whiny and unlikable fanbase than Boston sports fans? The fact that the decline in team quality over the last decade has made the World Series as much of a snooze-fest as the NBA Finals isn't helping either.

BoSox 6. I'm bitter haha.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

For me, the most boring-ass world series was in 2003, the friggin Marlins and Yankees, good god, that was a true snooze-fest. Do the Marlins even HAVE fans? And how many more times do we have to see the Yankees go to/win the WS?

The objectively best team from both leagues are meeting in the WS this year (as it ought to be). I fail to see how that's boring.

Agreed. This year, the Red Sox, and Cardinals are definitely the best teams, and I expect the WS to go a full 7 games. It really could go either way.

CONFIRMED: You have no clue what you are talking about

Leyland out http://www.sbnation.com/2013/10/21/4862402/jim-leyland-retires-career-highlights-video-smoking

Yes this is one of the most annoying matchups http://www.baseballnation.com/2013/10/22/4864022/cardinals-red-sox-matchup-world-series-annoying

I will just root for Carlos Beltran.

any thanks all

Got the booze ready. Better be a good series man.

Pick: Cards in 7.

For the record: before the 1st pitch the poll was 50/50 with 18 votes.

What a catch.. Well St Louis looks like shit.

Man, Lester looks huge.

Think St Louis wins tonight.

It's Wacha time.

Ortiz so damn clutch.

Looks like Boston would have been better off sticking with Lackey. :D

Victorino always looks like he's all cracked out.

Solid game almost ruined by the weak announcers.

CONFIRMED: No one else gives a shit about this series

Yeah, that says nothing about the Cardinals as a team.

Neat little team valuation app http://www.bloomberg.com/infographics/2013-10-23/mlb-team-values.html

lol?

Freakin Giants can't pay the hot dog guy

"That Puig was teaching kids how to play the game the wrong way!" tsk tsk *smh*

You're right, being one-half of a match-up that pulled in some of the worst game 1 & 2 overnight ratings in World Series history says absolutely nothing about how interesting to watch the Cardinals are as a team.

People lacking familiarity with the team =/= the team being boring.

Spin it whatever way that helps you sleep at night ace.

lol.

Like Id lose sleep over something so trivial.

Always fun to see Ortiz play 1st.

Beltran bunting 3-1, ummm, how about no.

And tonight is why defense is important in baseball folks...

I hate this 2 post max rule so fvcking much. What a game.

That was a beautiful game! I hope Craig is alright.

Hey Sox, don't throw to 3rd :)

I guess I can't argue with this call, I truly don't believe Middlebrooks was thinking about what he was doing, but that's not the point of the rule regardless. That being said it's still a really shitty way to see what had otherwise been a fantastic game end.

While I understand that the call was correct, it is unfortunate to see such a good/important game end that way.

That being said, I'm getting tired of Middlebrooks saying that he was five feet inside the baseline. If he was five feet in, I have a three and a half foot...nevermind.

Nothing says "I don't give a shit" like continually talking about how much you don't give a shit.

That call was bullshit.

How? Had Middlebrooks not been in Craig's way, Craig would have easily made it home before the throw.

That rule is awful. For a WS game to be decided by that is just awful. Nonetheless its Boston's fault due to that awful throw to 3rd.

How?
