Our outfielders are falling and diving all over the outfield watching balls land behind them and deflecting off their glove.
Our pitchers are walking the lead-off hitter and throwing the ball 3 rows into the crowd behind 1st and 3rd base.
And now we are down 3 games to 1.
The team can still come back and win this thing.
As a matter of fact, of the 5 times it is has happen in the past, St. Louis was the victim twice (they were the team up 3-1 and lost the sereis).
Even more peculiar is that it happen in 1968, when the Tigers and Cardinals played in that World Series.
Another odd fact is that the Tigers and Cardinals have now met in 3 World Series and each time the following took place:
- St. Louis won Game 1
- Detroit won Game 2
- St. Louis won Game 3
- The winner of Game 4 lost the World Series
So either the basball gods are on the Cardinals side as the Tigers have had so many fluke plays and the Cardinals are destined to win this thing or the baseball gods have to make sure that history repeats itself and tradition holds.
If there is any sport that holds to its tradtions it is baseball -- so we'll see.
Unfortunately I think it may be the former and the Cardinals are just meant to win this thing.
But my hope is not gone. I still have plans to be in Comerica Park on Sunday night watching a World Series Game 7.
