I didn't like the outcome of either series yesterday, but you can't argue with the quality of both games. That Cardinal comeback last night will become part of legend, especially if they end up winning the World Series again this year.
Trailing 6-0 after three, they kept pecking away at the lead until they finally tied it at 7 in the ninth with two outs. AND THEN they got a two-run single in the same inning two pull ahead 9-7.
They held on and sent the local Nationals and their fans home very, very depressed.
I actually felt more sorry for the Orioles yesterday. They weren't so much overmatched by Sabathia as they simply were overmatched by having to play that extra playoff game last Friday. They had to settle for their fourth best pitcher going against the Yankees high-priced ace. It really was no contest. That the game remained close shows you just how good this Oriole squad was this season.
In the end, the Yankees and their highly paid roster prevailed.
I have no real rooting interest at this point. I just more great baseball and the Yankees to lose one more series. Either is fine, just so they don't win it all...again. Go everybody else!
