RDSX!

Excellent.

If you were wondering why the Cardinals folded like a tent in the Series, here's your answer.

By the way, if you need some sort of silly instant factoid to throw around: Cardinals' SS Edgar Renteria had the final AB of the World Series in a losing effort, but in 1997 as a Marlin he had the last AB for the winning team (game-ending single scored Craig Counsell in Game 7). Has any other player ever been the last batter in two different World Series', regardless of winning or losing?

UPDATE: ESPN.com's useless-info piece doesn't make mention of Renteria's feat. Scoop!
