This is the last time I will post anything about the Astros or baseball until next season: If the Astros would have gone to the World Series, they would have beaten the Red Sox and kept the curse going. I doubt the Crapbirds will. DIE, MICELI, SERIOUSLY.
My original predictions were as follows: Red Sox over Angels Yankees over Twins Astros over Braves Cardinals over Dodgers Red Sox over Yankees Cardinals over Astros Cardinals over Red Sox But the way the Red Sox are playing now, I can see them winning the series. However, I have gotten to like the Cardinals over this past year (they are my OOTP team for those who know what OOTP is). It will be tough to see the Red Sox lose a World Series, but if the Sox have to lose to someone - I would prefer it to be the Cardinals.
Tavarez and his trick cap is enough for any casual fan to NOT root for the Cards. I don't know how the St Louis pitchers made it by the Astros lineup, but SPs like Williams, Suppan, Marquis, and Morris should not be allowed to win the World Series. Sox in 6, and ManRam comes up big time.
