Okay I need to explain why I feel the cards and Twins deserve to play in the World Series. First let's start with the Twins. They were targeted for contraction during the off-season. That pretty much meant that the team could not make any off-season moves and there players felt like the league didn't want them. Not only that but their owner doesn't care about the team, just about the profits.

The Cardinals on the other hand deserve it for a totally different reason. They lost not only a great member of there organization in Jack Buck. This loss, though painful wasn't terribly unexpected. But then shortly after this loss they experienced an even more painful loss. Daryl Kile, a young very talented pitched died of a heart attack in his hotel room. The amazing thing about this is that instead of falling apart. The team held together and kept the lead, which Daryl Kile had actually won in his last start before his death.

Those are the reason that I feel these two teams deserve to go to the World Series. The Angels certainly deserve it because of there heart and the long times fans in Anaheim deserve it because of the years of heartbreak in Anaheim. But the team hasn't overcome anything compared to the Twins and Cardinals this season.
