Part of me actually hopes they lose, just because watching them lurch, stagger and sputter their way through the season and the playoffs has been absolutely grueling. They are not fun to watch, which is a sad statement about a team this far into the playoffs. They are loaded with choke-artists, and I really have zero faith in them to do anything other than aggravate the hell out of me.
And, of course, both of these teams are merely playing for the honor of being slaughtered by the Tigers.
It would be nice to see the Cards celebrate a victory in front of the knuckle-dragging goon Mets fans, though (Jesus, what a bunch of pricks). And it would be nice to have a team I root for win a major championship (I certainly won't be getting one from the Chiefs or Mizzou this year). And the accompanying t-shirt is a plus, especially wearing it in Chicago.
So I'll vote Cards. And it is entirely possible that they'll win, because the Mets are capable of sucking enough to choke worse than us. But sadly, I kind of doubt it.
Woo-hoo.
