2004 WORLD SERIES
vs. 
It looked like an Astros evening, after Craig Biggio hit the first-ever Game-7 lead-off home run, and then Carlos Beltran manufactured a second run in the third for a 2-0, stealing second and then going home on a sacrifice fly coupled with a throwing error. But Jeff Suppan executed a perfect squeeze bunt to score Tony Womack, and the 2-1 Astros lead vanished in the blink of an eye in the sixth inning, as Albert Pujols doubled in a run and Scott Rolen followed with a line drive home run for a 4-2 lead. Final score, 5-2 Cards, they go to the Series.
We here at E.K. Nation mourn the passing of our predicted two World Series teams, the Yankees and Astros, both in seventh games of the LCS, but we certainly welcome a classic-style Cardinals-Red Sox matchup.
The E.K. Nation World Series Prediction Dinner Party: St. Louis in 5, with Albert Pujols the MVP. Boston's only win will be in Game 2. (Last year we predicted a Yankees sweep of the Marlins, so get ready for an actual Red Sox sweep.)
