Jubilant St. Louis Cardinals awaiting the commencement of the World Series – MLB Update
As the St. Louis Cardinals made their way into the World Series, slowly but magnificently, the team now has their eyes set upon the most coveted title. The race which is to begin on Wednesday, October 19 is something the team wants to start with confidence.
For the team manager Tony La Russa, the performance of the St. Louis Cardinals has simply remained outstanding throughout the year. "Improbable, incredible, overwhelming," La Russa called this sequence of events.
Judging from how the Cardinals maintained their poise, there is not even a shred of exaggeration that one can find in the statement of the team manager La Russa. The Cardinals indeed remained a strong force to reckon with.
When they qualified for the playoffs, they were faced with a team which was predicted to carry the World Series, the Philadelphia Phillies. However, the Cardinals proved every game pundit wrong and instead came forward as the most forceful protagonist in
the script.
Not only did the Cardinals overwhelm the Philadelphia Phillies, they also succeeded in successfully getting over Milwaukee. The Brewers which had 96 wins in the regular season were favourites in the National League Championship Series, but they could not
reverse the lead the Cardinals made effortlessly.
Such was the performance of the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS, whereby they won the best-of-seven games by 4-2, even the Brewers’ manager had to compliment the team.
"St. Louis is hot," Brewers’ manager Ron Roenicke said. "Did they do anything wrong during the series? That's incredible to go through a series and have everything you do go right. That's what you have to have happen in playoffs. You have to have breaks
that you create because you're playing good, which they did.”
His observation, following the compliments, shows how wonderful the Cardinals have remained throughout the year. The perennial test, however, lies ahead for the team. The Texas Rangers have equally stunned every observer with their performance to qualify
for the World Series. How both the teams contest in the final showdown is something that the fans will see from tomorrow onwards.
