Regardless of the quality of the game, it will be a great one if the Cardinals lose and LaRussa gets another DUI.

I predict one of two things will happen...1)another see-saw classic or 2)a route akin to the 1985 Royals/Cards game 7 only this time Cards prevail. I think we'll know fairly early in (I'll say by the 2nd inning) which way it goes. If it's a rout it's going to be over very early.

Unless there is a MAJOR dropoff in the excitement that has seemed to dominate this years' post season play, I expect tonight's game to rank no less tha, ninth or tenth on the list.

Whatever happens, it can never top Mariano blowing the lead after Schilling got scorched for Soriano's 8th inning bomb.
Two giants of the game at their most vulnerable. Schilling had the look of a 6 year-old child after someone kicked his dog; Rivera getting hit around....great, unexpected, theatre.

8 game 7's since 1980. The home team is 8-0. Unsure where it will rate.

Think it will end up more like 1960 than 1991- my two personal favorites

Last American league team to win game 7 on the road.
Detroit Tigers 1968.

#6: The '64 Yanks lost to St Louis.
#8: The '68 Tigers beat St Louis.

Speaking of rodents, I'm surprised somebody in St. Louis has not tried to smuggle a squirrel into the ball park.

Of all the Cardinals World Championships, until (possibly) tonight,only Billy Southworth, in 1942 and 1944, is the only manager to have won multiple titles with St. Louis.

@10: Knew St Louis lost in '68 when I posted #8 but it did not occur to me until later that they were the last National League team to lose at home. Tunnel vision looking for last American League winner.

The returning loser was on a roll from 1927-1957. 9 wins 3 losses.
October 29th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
@14&15 Make that 1927-1977.

That is some GREAT information. I am very impressed and can't wait for more like it.
