St. Louis Cardinals fans Katie, Cori, Ashley and Jill took Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and twisted it into a song about the Cards going to the World Series, calling it, “Cardinals are Going, Going, Going to the World Series”

Braves start preparing for 2013
ATLANTA Kris Medlen thought for a second and managed to look ahead.
Even though the Braves' 2012 season had just ended with a 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL wild-card game, Medlen's never-ending optimism took control.
He stayed healthy after returning from Tommy John surgery and became the darling of the majors with his late-season streak of invincibility...

Two teams are going to wonder what hit them Friday night, wonder how they qualified for the postseason over 162 games and then were eliminated in one.
Well, all those players who already are questioning the new single-elimination, wild-card format should heed the advice of former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.

The Braves rotation performed admirably after the loss of young ace, Brandon Beachy.
What a difference a year makes. On game 162 of last season, the Braves saw their hopes dashed as the St. Louis Cardinals made an incredible run into the playoffs and on to win the World Series. Last season we watched in agony as the Braves collapsed in September, the final image being that of rookie...

Cardinals beat Braves in disputed playoff

The Bold Prediction could have been better, but we got the Ross thing right. He homered to put the Braves up two in the second. Atlanta failed to capitalize on what turned out to be myriad opportunities though. Still, an inaugural one-game Wild Card for the ages. That is all.
