St. Louis Cardinals trailed the Atlanta Braves by 10 1/2 games on Aug. 25, but went 23-8 the rest of the way and earned a wild-card berth after Game 162 when Philadelphia completed a three-game sweep in Atlanta. They haven’t played like an underdog in this series, and they won’t be happy simply pushing the Phillies to the limit. They are playing with house money.
Philadelphia Phillies' Roy Halladay already was widely considered the best pitcher in the game when he joined the Phillies last year. He lived up to enormous expectations in his first season in Philadelphia, pitching a perfect game in the regular season, a no-hitter in his first postseason start and winning the Cy Young Award. Phillies' Chris Carpenter had limited success with the Blue Jays, never winning more than 12 games in six years in Toronto. He was released after the 2002 season, and signed with the Cardinals two months later. His career really took off in St. Louis, though he’s missed nearly three full seasons because of arm problems.
