Cardinals vs. Mets - Wednesday Night

Another prediction by the wayside. The baseball game has just ended and the Cardinals have sent the Padres down to defeat 3 games to 1. The Cards will travel to New York to take on the Mets in the National League Championship Series.

The Cardinals were trying very hard to miss the playoffs and managed to squeak in the back door. As with the Yankees, the Padres were the better team and it just proves that a good season record don't mean squat against a few bad nights in the postseason.

Down to four teams: The Cardinals and the Mets in the National League / The Tigers and the Athletics in the American League. First predictions (see how well I have been doing?):

• Mets in five
• Athletics in seven

World Series winner? You heard it here first: Mets
