Cardinals-Red Sox, once again in October. Fully rested, they'll start Wednesday
night at Fenway Park with Boston opening as a slim favorite. Postseason stars
from past and present — Carlos Beltran, David Freese, John Lackey, David Ortiz
and Adam Wainwright. Juicy plotlines — can Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina shut
down Jacoby Ellsbury and the runnin' Red Sox? Can all-world closer Koji Uehara
stop Matt Holliday and the Cardinals? Plus, plenty of history — think Stan
Musial vs. Ted Williams in 1946, Bob Gibson vs. Carl Yastrzemski in '67 or Pedro
Martinez vs. Albert Pujols in 2004. Or, perhaps more memorably that last time,
Curt Schilling and the bloody sock vs. The Curse. The Red Sox and Cardinals are
hardly arch enemies, however. They haven't played since Kevin Youkilis homered
over the Green Monster in the 13th inning on June 22, 2008. This year, Boston
and St. Louis bounced back from disappointments and tied for the most victories
in the majors with 97. Not since the Braves and Yankees in 1999 have league win
leaders met in the World Series (the Cardinals and Red Sox were the top-scoring
teams in their leagues, too). Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Boston's scraggly
band rose under first-year manager John Farrell, a season after the team hit
bottom under Bobby Valentine with its most losses in nearly five decades. Matt
Carpenter, Matt laney
5s 2013 holiday release Adams and St. Louis rebounded a year after
wasting a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series against the Giants. Manager
Mike Matheny got lots of help from a rookie-laden staff. Wacha was the MVP of
the NLCS and is 3-0 with an 0.43 ERA in the postseason. Rosenthal took over the
closer role with a 100 mph fastball. Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez and others
also made major contributions. The Cardinals captured their 19th NL pennant by
trouncing Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Friday night in Game 6 of the NLCS.
"Watching them last night, they've got a fantastic team. And a lot of young
power arms that will Laney 5s
2013 walk to that mound," Farrell said. The Red Sox earned their
13th pennant Saturday night, riding Victorino's go-ahead grand slam to a 5-2
victory over Detroit in Game 6 of the ALCS. Uehara was the MVP with a win and
three saves. "It's been a special ride," Pedroia said, "and we're still going."
For Beltran, this will be his first time in the World Series. For the Cardinals,
it's their fourth trip in 10 years. For the Red Sox, it's their third Series
visit in the last decade. And they hope for a repeat performance from 2004, when
they never trailed during a four-game sweep of the Cardinals and won their first
championship since 1918. Johnny Damon playfully called his Boston teammates a
bunch of "idiots" and Kevin Millar exhorting Black
Friday Air Jordan 5 Oreo them to "Cowboy Up!" Manny Ramirez was the
MVP of the series while Ortiz showed he was more than a slugger, switching from
designated hitter to snazzy fielder at first base when the Series shifted to old
Busch Stadium. There are just a few leftovers from that fall. Ortiz lined a key
grand slam in this ALCS. Molina is now regarded as baseball's best defensive
catcher — he was 21 in that '04 matchup and a backup to Matheny. Now, their
teams are set to meet for the fourth time in a World Series. Aside from
Dodgers-Yankees, there hasn't been a more common pairing since that initial Red
Sox-Cardinals meeting in 1946. Here we go again. "We've still got one more
step," Victorino said. Oct. 20, 2013 2:08 AM EDT
