Not much news as far as rumors go, but my baseball heart is beating in excitement that the Cardinals are now down 0-2 to the Nationals in the NLCS. St. Louis has to face Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin in Washington after dropping the first two games of the series at Busch Stadium. I look forward to nothing more than seeing the Nationals dropkick the Redbirds into the offseason. The Cardinals look futile at the plate and have a near-impossible task ahead if they hope to reach the World Series.
Meanwhile, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka was magnificent yesterday, holding Houston hitters to a single hit in six innings, as New York blanked the Astros 7-0.
