"All" they have to do is win three in a row. (Two, now.) Hey, it worked before... Last night's game was a gem; let's hope they can keep it up.

I was disappointed not to see the Nats or the Orioles advance as well. If the Giants had met the Nats in the NCLS, I'd still be rooting for the Giants of course, but I wouldn't have been too sad to see the Nats advance to the World Series instead. The Cards, though... bleh. Not that I have anything against them specifically, but they've been to the Series *a lot* in recent years.

Maybe next year! It's exciting to see all these teams rising from the ashes (Nats, Orioles, Pirates finally had a winning season!).
