Detroit Bound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In what has got to have been the greatest Game 7 I have ever seen, the St. Louis Cardinals have beaten the Mets and will now be heading to Detroit to play in their second World Series in the last five years.

The only thing sweeter than watching Carlos Beltran watching a wicked curve from Cards closer Adam Wainwright was seeing little Yadier Molina jack a two run homer over the left field wall.

Nothing makes me more frisky than a catcher kicking some ass.

Struggling third baseman Scott Rolen hit a hanging change up from Mets starter Oliver Perez over the same wall, but was runjacked by an incredible grab by Mets' outfielder Endy Chavez.

Redbirds' pitching was spectacular tonight, with starter Jeff Suppan allowing only one run on two hits, with two K's. It became a real nail biter though towards the end when in the bottom of the ninth, the Mets got two back to back singles and then a walk off of Adam Wainwright. With the bases loaded, and the Mets slugger at the plate, Wainwright got serious and smoked Beltran to clinch the National League title.

The birds have their work cut out for them against the Tigers, especially if their hitting doesn't improve. But I think both the division and now the league championship series have demonstrated that you can't count them out just yet!
