Yesterday saw Aníbal Sánchez put up a stupendous performance in Game 1 of the NLCS as the Nationals beat the Cardinals. Lest anybody let you forget, the Nationals winning the pennant would make the Mariners the only MLB franchise without a pennant in their history. As rough as that would be, I think my personal disdain for the Cardinals overrules that. It seems you mostly agree, as yesterday’s poll saw 86% of respondents favor the Nationals.
Today, the Nationals and Cardinals continue with Game 2 in St. Louis. Max Scherzer will try to shut down the Cardinals, who will counter with Adam Wainwright.
