World Series here we come!!

My favorite baseball team is the St. Louis Cardinals and they made it to the World Series this year and tonight is game one! No one thought they would even make it into the playoffs.  With thirty days left in the regular season the Cardinals were ten and a half games out of the wild card.  They went on a hot steak and it came down to the last game of the regular season.  If the Cardinals won and the Braves lost, they were in.  If the Braves won and the Cardinals lost then the Braves were in and if both teams won, they would have one playoff game and winner would continue into the playoffs and the loser would go home.  So in the first series, the Cardinals had to play the Phillies, which had the best record in the National League.  It was a best out of five series and it came down to game five. Only problem was that it was in Philly but the Cardinals were the second best road team in the regular season. So the Cardinals went into Philly and beat them in a need to win game and moved on to the next round.  So in the second series, they had to face the Brewers who were the best home team in the Majors.  This was a best of seven series.  This one went back in forth but the Cardinals won it in game six in the Brewers stadium, causing a huge upset.  Now they have to face the power hitting Texas Rangers.  A lot of people are counting out the Cardinals, but they have been counting out the Cardinals all season long and look where they are now! I plan on watching every game that I can, unless I have to work but I am really excited that my team made it to the World Series and is the best National League team in 2011!
