wat? :shock: Is the hatred really that strong? It's the same completely irrational thing that makes me want to not see the White Sox if we make it to the World Series. On paper, I know full well that the Cardinals and White Sox would be the best matchups in our favor we could hope for, but I still fear what happened the last time each of those clubs made the postseason. I know I'm wrong for thinking this. I'm along with you for most of this. Part of me really wants the Cards to win the WC to set up the possibility of a Cubs-Cards NLCS. However, the rest of me doesn't want the Cards to get anywhere near that far on the off chance that they might win. Same with the Sox. But still, looking at this series, even with my irrational fear of the Cardinals, I am rooting for them to win the next two nights.
