STL hasn't made the playoffs since 2008 and our only WS was in 1991. Glad to finally be back.
Given that the Piners have been in the post-season more often than not in the last decade I have to say that this is a match-up that I have both been looking forward to and dreading at the same time.
By the way, Arizona certainly has shown a giant leap forward this season. I expect to see more of them in October in the near term. San Diego also was certainly capable of putting together a better record than what they ended up with.

For whatever reason, we fell apart at the end. It wasn't for a lack of trying though. Best of luck St Louis. Brooklyn too. Bring the World Series back to the NL.

I have been looking forward to the matchup as well, there hasnt been an easy win against STL in the past decade, and the word "dreading" could easily be an understatement when associated with Stankard and Co.
was hoping to stretch it to a 7-game series even without having to face Wilke.
has been a core of solid competitive owners on both sides for a good piece of time and would certainly add PIT to the up and coming list in the NL.
have been a lot of good owners that have come and gone in the TCL, one constant has been the high level of play, another would be the diligence that Tyson and Co. have shown keeping the game from mediocrity/complacency.
hands down one of the best games in general i have ever played or come across; one of the biggest reasons being there are 15 other owners in the league.
good luck and good health.

Congrats Piners!
Even after assembling my best squad in a decade, I'd considered the odds of making the WS at no better than 50-50. On paper these were two evenly matched clubs. It was a good run, and there is no shame in losing to a worthy opponent
I'm sure you'll do the NL proud in the WS.
