Cards' injuries finally caught up with them (Larry Walker looked like he was about 60 years old this series) and Houston's pitching is phenomenal. How did Oswalt lose 12 games in the regular season???

Also, Tony LaRussa is the most overrated manager in the game - his teams consistently tighten up in the playoffs (this is coming from a cards fan!) - I have never seen a more uptight, joyless bunch of guys in a playoff series than the Cards, and I think it starts at the top. Pujols hits one of the most dramatic homeruns in playoff history, and LaRussa looked like he just found out he was going to be audited.

Astros in 6 - the pale hose dont have the offense to do any damage against that staff.
