As we await tonight's festivities in game four of the World Series, it certainly appears that home actually is sweet home for the St. Louis Cardinals.
After gaining the split in the first two games in Detroit, the Cards have won Game 3 at home and are looking for their fourth home playoff win in the last five games.
In the series against the Mets, St. Louis used a similar formula that they have for the Series: earn a split on the road, and take the first game at home. They did that against New York and they did it against the Tigers. They lost the middle home game against the Mets, but that's the only game that they have lost in Busch Stadium in the last two rounds.
For the post season, the Cards have won four home games while losing two. They lost Game 3 against the Padres, but at the time they already had a 2-0 lead in a five-game series. They won Game 4, also at Busch, to move on to the NLCS.
There are two more home games in this World Series for St. Louis, and if things continue to go the way they have thus far in the playoffs, we'll all be watching highlights from the Cardinals' World Series Parade as it motors through downtown St. Louis.
