    Still the most competitive, closest, sweep I've ever seen. Casuals would say the Astros got dominated, but they really didn't.

    The interesting part of this is The Pope said he’s a Cubs fan

    His brother corrected the record... his mom was Cubs, his father was Cards... he chose WhiSox.

    We’re still blaming Ted Cruz for the home losses though, right? ;)

    Getting swept is getting dominated there's no other way to put it

    If Lidge had finished the Cardinals in Game 6 we had Roy ready for Game 1. It may have been a different series completely
