    The last time I bet on a series was in 1987. St. Louis lost because the 1st base umpire wasn't wearing his glasses :(

    I think that was '85, collector 1966. Anyway, I won 10 bucks tonight ;)

    Yes, you're right, it was '85. I was thinking about where I was working when I made that bet, and I was working there in both '85 and '87.
    Anyway, speaking of 10 bucks, that's how much I lost in '85 :(

    I'm not exactly declaring a winner right now, cuz im still celebrating. But this looks like the winner to me. Only 2 or 3 people predicted the Cards in 7. And this prediction nailed the Rangers score, and was off the Cards score by one. I think its clearly the winner. But like I said, I'm still celebrating ;) So Let me know :D

    If I ever make another sports bet, I'm gonna consult with Wiggam007 first! That was an amazing prediction :)

    Here's a bit of Cardinal trivia for you:

    '82 was the "Beer Town Series"
    '85 was the "All-Missouri (or I-70) Series"
    '87 was the "Mississippi River Series"

    I wish I could have heard Jack Buck and Mike Shannon announcing that final game. That would have been something :)

    I don't watch a lot of baseball, usually just the World Series, in part because the only team nearby is the Rockies, and I don't really like them. I only even got to watch one game this year because of work, but it was game 6 and wow, what an ending!

    And if you want my advice for sports picks, it is don't listen to me :p This is evidenced from my own March Madness bracket contests where I have done pretty badly each year, and I actually watch a ton of college basketball!
