Boo Ferriss Had Role In Cardinals World Series Controversy

If Red Sox ace Boo Ferriss would have started Game 6 of the 1946 World Series against the Cardinals, would Boston have won the championship? In retrospect, probably not, but at the time the decision by Red Sox manager Joe Cronin to hold Ferriss for a possible Game 7 created controversy and second guessing.

Cardinals Tip Their Caps To Victorious Cubs

The Cardinals had 100 wins this season, the best record in baseball and oodles of postseason experience to fall back on entering the National League Division Series.

Cardinals Miss Carlos Martinez Even More Than Yadier Molina

After taking Game 1 of the NLDS in an outstanding performance from John Lackey, the Cardinals dropped three straight to the Cubs by scores of 6-3, 8-6 and 6-4. It’s not difficult at all to imagine a healthy Carlos Martinez swinging one of those games.
