Meanwhile, Tigers on the edge ...
One thing to note: The Cardinals have a history of taking early leads in the World Series, only to make it real close in the end.
1967: Up 2-0 and 3-1, the Cards let the Red Sox fight back to 3-3 before Bob Gibson shut down the Sox and the Dream died once again.
1968: Up 3-1, the Cards lose the last three games and the Series to the Tigers.
1985: Up 3-1, the Cards got a bad call in Game 5 and went to pieces, losing the last three and the Series to the Royals.
1987: Up 3-2, the Cards got hammered in the HomerDome and lost the last two and the Series to the Twins.
So here the Cards are up again, 3-1. Let's look at the history.*

* Yes, I know that mathematically, this post counts as bullshit. But it's more fun to think there's mystical forces involved.
