gitnby,
As a NL Central fan, I was pulling for the Cards in the WS.
There are a few Cardinals/Astros games which stick out in my mind.
Ozzie Smith's last game agains the Astros in Houston. The Astros gave him a pair of red cowboy boots. I don't know why that stuck with me.
The playoff game where Pujols hit the bomb off of Lidge. I have never seen a baseball explode off a bat like that.
I believe Biggio closed out his career against the Cards, but I had tears in my eyes the whole game so I'm not sure.
It was a great rivalry, with games played the right way by both teams for decades.
I'm glad to see Berkman doing so well in red. He's a great player and a funny guy. I like the way he calls it like he sees it, no matter what.
I may have to find a way to get to an Astros/Cards game next year.
