Couldn't bring myself to actually root for it, but yes, probably
for the best.

The only way to look at it is don't hope for a Cardinals win,
hope for a Giants loss.

There's a Yogi Berra-ism if there ever was one.

Or as Tommy LaSorda says "If we don't win, I hope you guys do".

Exactly! I'll never root for the Cardinals under any
circumstances, but I've been a big fan of Giants losses for 25
years or so as well...

Matchups like that, I root for long extra-inning games with
excessive wear and tear on both teams' bullpens (with bonus
points for fights leading to key player injuries and league
suspensions).

What if it was the last day of the season, and the Cardinals had
to win in order to get the cubs into the playoffs?

Rooting for the Giants to lose in the present series is in fact
rooting for the Cardinals. With tempered enthusiasm, of course.

I would hope the other team choked horribly. I would expect the
Cardinals to roll over and let their opponent have their way
with them.

I'm not rooting for the Giants to lose to the Cardinals. I'm not
rooting for the Cardinals to beat the Giants. I'm simply taking
satisfaction in the Giants losses...which I have been doing
regularly since the fall of 1989.
