TWIT would like to congratulate the St. Louis Cardinals for winning the 2006 World Series. They won the series four games to one, over the Detroit Tigers. Even though the Cardinals have appeared in the playoffs many times, this was their first World Series win in twenty-four years.
The Cardinals were the underdogs going into the playoffs. They had an unimpressive 83 wins in regular season play - the fewest wins by a World Series winner in the history of the World Series. If you add up all of the St. Louis Cardinals' victories since opening day, it adds up to 94 - still one shy of the Tigers' total from the regular season. Which goes to show you that what the experts say is true: anyone can win the World Series.
The experts say that this will go down in the history books as one of the least watched World Series, mainly due to the lack of megastars. The weather also affected the Series, with game five being rained out. The 'rents watched it faithfully every night, but they did remark last night that they were glad the Cardinals won so they didn't have to watch it any more.
