As a lifelong Cards fan, I really wanted them to get some payback on Boston for the sweep a few years back and thought things might be going their way after the obstruction game win.

But, they really never got the bats going and the Sox pitchers owned them. Given the premium on runs, a little disappointed Matheny didn't try to play a bit more small ball to get something going and grind out a run or two here or there but it is what it is. Cards pitching looks promising for the near future.

Congrats to all the Sox fans, its pretty amazing that its been 95 years since they've been able to celebrate a WS win in their own park. Fun for them and the team.
