<p>Post season fun. [BSO</a> And St. Louis Symphony Orchestra Throw Down In Epic World Series ?Brass-Off? | ARTery](<a href=“http://artery.wbur.org/2013/10/23/bso-slso-world-series]BSO”>http://artery.wbur.org/2013/10/23/bso-slso-world-series)</p>
<p>Why oh why is Tim McCarver still on tv?</p>
<p>It’s like Keith Jackson for college football: 78 when he stopped and way, way past interesting or useful as a commenter.</p>
<p>Love James Taylor…</p>
<p>Back to St. Louis all tied up!</p>
<p>Last year to listen to the bombastic, know-it-all McCarver. And he’s not a nice man, either. Bravo to the Cards! I am a diehard American League supporter EXCEPT when the Red Sox are playing. :)</p>
<p>Is he retiring, momof3sons? </p>
<p>Twenty years ago Wednesday night, we were at the game where the Blue Jays beat the Phillies to win their second World Series. It was great to be there as I grew up going to Phillies games and have now lived in Toronto for most of my adult life.</p>
<p>Really, momof3sons, even this year when the city of Boston has been through so much?</p>
<p>alwaysamom, I understand that McBombast is retiring after this year.</p>
<p>yes, Viewer, even when the city of Boston has been through so much. I can love the city, which I do, and hate their sports teams, which I do. I went to school in Boston for seven years and know and love the city. Not the teams. ;)</p>
<p>Why in the name of heaven should a person like the Sox because of the Marathon bombing? That’s senseless to me. </p>
<p>I heard that stuff even when they were playing Detroit. Ever lived in Detroit? I have. Boston is about 10,000 times nicer … so who “deserved” support? (Answer: it’s sports, not sociology or politics.)</p>
<p>I was rooting hard for Detroit, Lergnom! I had written more about “all that Boston has been through” but deleted it. You said what I was planning to say, only differently, better and nicer. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m so tired of this crap. Yes, even after all that Boston went through this year. Why should it have any affect on a sporting event? So because St. Louis wasn’t “fortunate” to have two bombs blown up in its city, it doesn’t deserve a championship?</p>
<p>Wow, tough crowd. I didn’t know everybody had such strong feelings about this. It’s difficult to have any kind of discussion on here.</p>
<p>I don’t see this as a tough crowd, just one that does not like to be lectured. </p>
<p>In 2006, there was some talk that people should support the Tigers in the World Series because Detroit was going through such a tough time and the team had such an inspiring story. The Cardinals won anyway, and the Onion covered the story brilliantly, as they so often do with sports.</p>

<p>Tied score of 4-4 in the 8th. This is a great series so far.</p>
<p>TonyK,
Agreed! The Cards may rue the day, or the inning! when they didn’t blow the game open.</p>
<p>Havent watched the television, but I thought this was a nice ( Cubs related) story.

<p>Quite the wild finish in Game 3. The Cardinals now lead the series 2-1.</p>
<p>judgement call by an ump decides a WS game…not good. I guess Middlebrooks was supposed to either barrel roll out of the way or just disappear</p>
<p>It was the right call.</p>
