THE FORGOTTEN SERIES
In case you haven't noticed, and odds are you haven't, the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals have been playing a hell of a series in the National League. The last two games were decided by walk-off homeruns and it will all come down to a seventh game, pitched by ROGER CLEMENS and JEFF SUPPAN tonight.
If you haven't really noticed the NLCS that much, I don't blame you. Think of how Fox has treated this series. They rarely even broke into the ALCS to give updates. They just threw the NLCS on FX after Nip/Tuck or on Fox Sports Net between episodes of 5,4,3,2,1 and I, Max. I think they actually pre-empted the start of one of the games because The Sports List was on, but that may just be a rumor. Either way, this has to be one of the most underappreciated playoff series in recent memory (well, the 1997 World Series is up there too).
As for my prediction for tonight? Before the playoff started I predicted Boston over Houston in the World Series, and after what the Red Sox did, maybe my prediction coming true is some how fate. I'll go with Houston tonight. An all wild-card World Series, yet again.
