I respect the Cardinals organization, and I also realize this was the 80's, but good lord, could Busch Stadium look any more dark and drab? It appears they only have two sets of lights on the entire field, and the stands are completely dark. And yet, I'm still watching this entire 3 hour game, haha

Too bad my Cardinals had all their best players injured for this series. Great WS though.

The better team, did NOT win this series, 100% guaranteed. Just like in 2001, when the loser D'backs "beat" the much better Yankees, by a run, in Game 7, the Twins beat the superior St. Louis Cardinals, in this series. The Twins homefield advantage was absolutely ridiculous. Actually, unfair. The St. Louis Cardinals, were the greatest team in baseball, in 1987, just like they were in 1985, when they got totally screwed by that dirty, first base ump, in the 9th inning. The Yankees, are, and will forever be, the greatest franchise, in professional sports history, but the Cardinals, absolutely, deserve, two more World Series Championships, to their credit. 1985, and 1987. The St. Louis Cardinals, were the team of the decade, of the 80s, no doubt whatsoever. Screw the Dodgers.
