Tigers - Cardinals World Series!

Well, they did it, and what a game it was. Honourable mentions go to Jeff Suppan, who pitched 8 great innings and Jim Edmonds, who was denied a home-run in the sixth after some magical fielding by Chavez. It was a really tight game; tied 1-1 until the bottom of the ninth inning. Then, with one out and a man on first, Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer and the Cardinals were just three outs away from winning. Though, getting those outs would tun out to be anything but easy. The relief pitcher, Wainwright, walked the lead off batter and and the crowd at Shea Stadium smelled blood. A few pitches later and the Cardinals were really sweating - the Mets had the bases loaded, two outs and their star batter, Beltran, was at the plate. It went to a full count before Wainwright threw a devilish breaking ball and Beltran didn't even swing*.

The 3-1 victory in game 7 earns them a place in the World Series against the American League's Detroit Tigers. Game one is in Detroit on Saturday night.

Update:
Here's a good round-up from the NYT.

Correction:
*I had said that Beltran swung, that was incorrect. Is 'swung' even a word?
