The cardinals will beat the red sox in the world series

[fishnfla]

as a non-partisan who doesn't have a dog in this fight, let me just say the reason is this:

Tony LaRussa.

Its good to have a strong heart, but a better brain wins

1. Does not matter. The miracle has already occurred.

Once God has spoken, all else is anticlimactic.

2. its kind of like the election in a way

faith over reason

[Mojambo]

3. I like the Cards as well

in 7 games.

I don't think the Red Sox have a left-hander that will be able to handle Edmonds and he'll be WS MVP.

4. I'm just glad Houston didn't get in.

The Boston v Houston/Kerry v Bush parallel commentary would have gotten annoying very fast. (Though it might have been nice to get a few add'l anti-Houston votes out of Missouri. This new pairing may do the opposite.)

9. how 'bout clemons back against his old squad

woooh-eee! that would have been something!

[SaintLouisBlues]

5. 105 wins

Best offense in the NL

Best bullpen in the NL

2nd best defense

Here comes the Senior Circuit!

[Zuni]

6. The Red Sox came back after 3 losses

I don't know. They are on a roll. They butchered the Yanks last night, absolutely mauled them. The Yankees aren't lightweights either.
The Cardinals have the record, but the Sox have just moved mountains.

7. agree sort of but better brain not always

Torre is much smarter than Francona IMO.

8. Whats with the Italian managers anyway?

LaRussa,Torre,Francona?

How come there arent any great bohunk or polish managers?
