I understand where you are coming from...my M's didn't make the playoff's so I picked whomever played against the Yanks...and since the Tigers have had a stellar year, and they beat the yanks(and for that, I'm buying me a tiger hat), and they swept the A's, I figured the Tigers would roll...maybe that week off cooled them off...
Not to take anything away from the Cards, they had to fight tooth and nail to get in there, and they beat a very good Mets team...with a line up like the mets, you'd figure the Mets had the advantage...but again, its the pitching that matters...and who would have thought that Jeff Weaver would have given the Cards an edge in that regard! Mr. Jeff "give up 5 homers before I'm pulled" Weaver....
Cards are a good team, I had them picked for the playoffs before the season started...the Cards/Astro's are almost an assured lock for the NL central, and with Pujols, I usually give the Cards the edge in that division. The Tigers took me by surprise though...great year for them, even if they lose, or win....
This, coming from a M fan, a Seahawk fan(my team finally made it to the superbowl!!)....the Hawks use to be a gutter team, and they almost pulled it off...so close, but so far away...:) At least the Cards are in contention most of the time...:)
