St. Louis Cardinals Season Ends in San Francisco

The Giants beat the Cardinals 9-0 in Game 7 to end the Redbirds' 2012 season.

There will be no World Series in St. Louis this season.  There will be no parade down Market Street, no 12th world championship and no rematch of the 2006 Fall Classic. Monday night in San Francisco the Cardinals hopes of a repeat of 2011 were ended at the hands of the Giants.  Just like in 1996, the Cardinals, with a new manager, had a 3-1 lead in the National League Championship series. And, just like in '96, the Cards failed to get win No. 4, losing in Game 7 in a blowout.  The Cardinals were done in by a series of miscues and the inability to get a big basehit. But, credit the San Francisco, the Giants had to play perfect to come back and did just that.  The loss in California closes the book on an interesting season for the Cardinals…

Stop your whining, they'll come back and win it tomorrow. There was a generous strike zone for both teams, and we lost when Lynn left one in the middle of the strike zone after an epic at-bat. You tip your hat and move on. I guarantee you that's what happening in the Cards' clubhouse.   more ›

First pitch is at 4:07 p.m. at Turner Field in Atlanta, where the weather is expected to be sunny and in the 80s.

The winner faces the Washington Nationals in the best-of-five National League Division Series, …
