"The season's a long journey. Someone will say, 'They have a little easier schedule than me.' With St. Louis, we've heard in the past, 'Well, they get to play Kansas City.' Now look. It's not so easy to play Kansas City anymore."
One of the best Interleague stretches was the 11-1 mark of the 2004 Cardinals, who kept sailing right to the World Series. Of course, they were stopped there by a truck named Boston, which reversed the Curse of the Bambino in sweeping them. Those Sox were 9-9 in Interleague Play.
Twins at Cardinals. Shades of 1987. It was the World Series in which the home team won every game. Minnesota had the home-field advantage, unfortunately for St. Louis. That marked the Twins' first World Series championship, and even though this one will be played at Busch Stadium, there's something for Twins fans to remember in this final season of the Metrodome.
Tigers at Cardinals. Detroit won the 1968 World Series in seven. St. Louis won the 2006 World Series in five. They meet again, this time on June 16-18 at Busch. It will be the first time the clubs have played there since that night three years ago when Adam Wainwright retired Brandon Inge and the city by the Arch celebrated again.
