Reading the Cards

So here we are. Almost scripted, innit? First the Yankees, the Sox’s (former) nemesis. Now St Louis, where it’s time to visit the ghosts of 1946 and 1967. I’m scared of the St Louis heart of the order - Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen are some scary hitters. But then I guess top-to-bottom we’re more complete. It’s like a battle of baseball philosophies: AL baseball (work the pitch counts, pure-hitting DH, walk don’t run) vs NL baseball (hit-and-run, bunt). Let it be said: I’m scared of seeing Ortiz at 1B, but I feel like Pujols will make a critical error in this series.
