Somehow, this series seemed anticlimactic and less triumphant than the Phillies series, despite all the bad blood and rivalry that was supposed to make this Cardinals-Brewers series exciting. Maybe because most of the games weren't that close, but the Brewers' "beast mode" antics seemed like more of an annoying side act than a full on nuisance, and somehow our bullpen pitched so well that we didn't even have to worry, which is half the fun. Just a weird, dominant, but mostly weird series.
Anyway, I'm still very appreciative of the Cardinals appearing in only their third World Series since my birth. Considering that we've been in the NLCS seven times over that span, this is quite the rarity. Of course, Padres fans and most every non-large market team (and some large market teams, hello Cubs fans) probably think I'm taking it for granted. I guess sometimes it's just hard not to take things for granted when you have been the greatest National League team over the last 15 years.
Ok, done gloating. Hopefully this hasn't been too obnoxious to read.
