World Series Preview: Weather a Factor for Game 4 DETROIT 1-2 at St. Louis 2-1 :: Matchup – Scoreboard Off and on drizzle fell at Busch Stadium before the scheduled start of Game 4 of the World Series on Wednesday night.

Cardinals Shut Out Detroit, Take World Series Lead The Detroit Tigers reached the World Series with sensational pitching, sound defense and timely hitting from their entire lineup. Detroit has failed in each of those phases against the St. Louis Cardinals in its two Series losses. It could be rust, stemming from the six days off the Tigers had between sweeping Oakland and playing St. Louis. Perhaps the Cardinals are just better.

After Bledsoe’s sack-filled first half performance ended in an interception, Tony Romo trotted in to start the second, when he was greeted by a standing ovation and chants of his last name. Then, on his first snap, Romo threw an interception. While Romo sparked the offense at times with more…

World Series Heads to St. Louis All Tied Up For the first time in the postseason, the St. Louis Cardinals saw more of the old Jeff Weaver than the new. For a change, it’s his teammates’ turn to pick up the slack. Staff ace Chris Carpenter, who won neither of his starts in a tense seven-game NLCS against the New York Mets, makes his World Series debut in Game 3 on Tuesday night.
