Cards on Brink of Elimination

Busch Stadium will have seen its last game, if the St. Louis Cardinals can’t find a way to score runs and beat the Astros in Houston tonight. The Cards lost to the Astros 2-1 and trail the best-of-seven series three games to one. If the Cardinals can win behind ace Chris Carpenter tonight, they can send the series back to Busch for more drama in the park’s last days. The Chicago White Sox have punched their ticket for the World Series. The White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 to win their series four games to one.
