Cards top Tigers 4-2 to win World Series

The Chief’s blogging has been somewhat distracted for the last few weeks with the St. Louis Cardinals in the playoffs. Being a native of St. Louis, and remembering riding the Grand Avenue street car as a kid to watch the Cards play two Busch Stadiums ago, who else would I root for in MLB?

Anyway, with no majorly hot contest in South Dakota’s election this year, the Chief took the time to sit in front of the HDTV and watch all of the playoff games that the Cards played (except for one of the Mets games due to other plans made by Mrs. Chief).

Favored by few, the St. Louis Cardinals used an unlikely cast of characters to win their first World Series in nearly a quarter century. Jeff Weaver dominated, David Eckstein drove in two runs on balls that didn’t leave the infield and the Cards took advantage of another wild throw by a Tigers pitcher to beat Detroit 4-2 on Friday night and won the Series in five games.

As I think about it, I don’t know any rational reason to feel so good about it (all I did was watch some games after all) but I do anyway. Go figure – I enjoy it anyway!
