September Baseball

The Cardinals were victorious over the Rockies today at Busch Stadium by the score of 4 - 1 in 3:03. For teams that are in contention like the Cardinals, September baseball is fun and exciting. Every game has meaning and this leads to many dramatic moments. The standings and the scoreboard are of great importance to every contending team and it's telecast. For teams out of contention like the Rockies, September baseball becomes similar to spring training games. Players are literally performing for next year. Expanded rosters allow managers to "try out" players as they look to the future. Just as spring training games suck to televise, September baseball games must suck for the non contending teams and their TV crew.
