Worst starting World Series pitching since

I can't remember such mediocre (at best) staffs playing to win it all.

LaRussa doesn't trust any of his guys past about the 4th inning sans Carp. Texas just goes to their pen out of necessity -- how many quality starts do they have in the playoffs so far? 1? 2?

After tonight, you've got Garcia vs. Lewis (Garcia's typically good at home but still pretty erratic overall and Lewis implodes his fair share), Harrison vs. Lohse (might be about 20 runs scored in that one), Jackson vs. Holland (same) --

Usually at least one team has a very solid group of starters. I can't remember the last time we had two squads square off with so much shaky ground in both dugouts.

making the games that much harder to cap imo.

so much for needing starting pitching and massive payrolls to get you to the top

St louis has a sick bull pen. That will be the difference

u r so right

carp until just lately has been hit early and often.. that said im playing stl.. i think he has found a goove but i still think he gives up runs early..
its big juice but texas -140 to score 1st is probably a winning play.. bol on both sides 2nite
