I know the American League Championship Series is getting all the attention, but there is a very entertaining battle going on in the National League C.S. The St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros are trading blows, with the Cards just having too many weapons so far. The Astros lineup of Jeff Bagwell, Jeff Kent, Lance Berkman, Craig Biggio and my current choice for best player in the game, Carlos Beltran are loaded, but the Cardinals can top that.
Larry Walker, Scott Rolen, Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds and Edgar Renteria have been just a few runs better each night. Even with the Astros top pitchers on deck, Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens, I don't think we are going to see any perfect games through seven innings in this series. These teams can rake.
It certainly looks like the Cards are going to advance, being up 2-0. In spite of what I feel is questionable starting pitching for St. Louis, it's going to be hard for either New York or Boston to stop this impressive Cardinals attack.
