Cardinals Repeating Game 7 History?

Game 7 Predictions

--------------------------WELCOME TO THE LIVE BLOG OF THE GAME 7--------------------------

If weather permits, the San Francisco Giants will face the St. Louis Cardinals at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT in Game 7 of the NLCS. Winner takes the pennant and moves on to play the Detroit Tigers in the World Series.

The Cardinals and Giants seem to have been gearing themselves for this big moment throughout the playoffs.

For the Giants, they were down 0-2 to the Cincinnati Reds and lost Game 2 in a 9-1 blowout. They got their act together doing what everybody thought was impossible, taking three straight games from the Reds in their own house, Great American Ball Park.

The Cardinals have had to skip a few hurdles as well. They got past the Atlanta Brave since the Wild Card game just to make it into the Division Series.

Though they took at 2-1 lead against the Washington Nationals, they found themselves in an 0-6 hole in Game 5. They battled back and eventually won the game, which was unbelievable to many.

But honestly, they were down to their last strike twice in the 2011 World Series. What can't this team do?

Join us for the live blog of Game 7, which should be an unforgettable game.
