<a href="/wiki/Missouri" title="Missouri">Missouri</a>. It was the 115th season for the Cardinals in the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(baseball)" title="National League (baseball)">National League</a> and their 1st at <a href="/wiki/Busch_Stadium" title="Busch Stadium">Busch Stadium III</a>. </p><p>The season started out with a bang, as the team raced out to a 31–16 record by late May. Momentum would be slowed by injuries, as starting pitcher <a href="/wiki/Mark_Mulder" title="Mark Mulder">Mark Mulder</a> was lost for the year, while center fielder <a href="/wiki/Jim_Edmonds" title="Jim Edmonds">Jim Edmonds</a> and shortstop <a href="/wiki/David_Eckstein" title="David Eckstein">David Eckstein</a> missed large amounts of playing time in the second half. Poor performance from several key players also hampered the team: starting pitcher <a href="/wiki/Jason_Marquis" title="Jason Marquis">Jason Marquis</a> compiled a 6.02 ERA, starting pitcher <a href="/wiki/Sidney_Ponson" title="Sidney Ponson">Sidney Ponson</a> was cut due to ineffectiveness, closer <a href="/wiki/Jason_Isringhausen" title="Jason Isringhausen">Jason Isringhausen</a> blew ten saves before undergoing season-ending hip surgery in September, and catcher <a href="/wiki/Yadier_Molina" title="Yadier Molina">Yadier Molina</a> had a poor offensive year, batting .216. </p><p>All this led to a difficult season, despite that quick start, one that included two eight-game losing streaks (the longest such streaks for the franchise since 1988) and a seven-game losing streak, losing months in June, August and September, and an 83-78 record, the worst for the Cardinals since the 1999 team finished 75–86. However, that record was still good enough to finish first in a weak <a href="/wiki/National_League_Central" title="National League Central">National League Central</a>. On the season's final day, the Cardinals made the playoffs for the sixth time in the last seven seasons, edging the second-place <a href="/wiki/Houston_Astros" title="Houston Astros">Houston Astros</a> by a game and a half. Once the playoffs began, the lightly regarded Cardinals surprised baseball fans everywhere by beating the <a href="/wiki/San_Diego_Padres" title="San Diego Padres">San Diego Padres</a> in the four-game <a href="/wiki/2006_National_League_Division_Series" title="2006 National League Division Series">NLDS</a>, beating the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Mets" title="New York Mets">New York Mets</a> in the seven-game <a href="/wiki/2006_National_League_Championship_Series" title="2006 National League Championship Series">NLCS</a>, and beating the <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Tigers" title="Detroit Tigers">Detroit Tigers</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2006_World_Series" title="2006 World Series">World Series</a> four games to one, winning the tenth, and probably most unlikely, World Series championship in franchise history. Their .516 winning percentage is the lowest ever for a World Series champion. This season ironically contrasted <a href="/wiki/2004_St._Louis_Cardinals_season" title="2004 St. Louis Cardinals season">with 2004</a> as that team was considered the overwhelming favorites but were swept in the <a href="/wiki/2004_World_Series" title="2004 World Series">World Series</a>, resulting in a bittersweet three-year period for the Cardinals.<sup id="cite_ref-LaRussa_1-0"

In other developments, Jason Marquis, who gave up thirteen runs in a start against the White Sox in June, gave up twelve runs in a 14-5 disaster against the Atlanta Braves on July 18. Marquis became the first big-league pitcher since Chubby Dean of the 1940 <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Athletics" title="Philadelphia Athletics">Philadelphia Athletics</a> to cough up twelve runs in a game twice in the same season.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On July 19, a storm carrying winds of 80 mph struck the new Busch, knocking over concession stands, ripping the tarp, and injuring thirty people.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The yo-yo season continued.

However, the end of the month saw a four-game sweep by the Cubs at <a href="/wiki/Wrigley_Field" title="Wrigley Field">Wrigley Field</a> and a losing streak that would extend into August. St. Louis went 15-11 in July and finished the month at 58-46. The Cincinnati Reds continued to dog the Cardinals' footsteps, sitting 3.5 games out of first place at the end of July. </p><p>Pitching continued to be problematic for the Cardinals in August. Mark Mulder, attempting to come back from his shoulder injury, made two starts towards the end of the month, got hit very hard both times, and return to the disabled list, where he would stay for the rest of the season. He ended the worst year of his career with a 7.14 ERA. Jason Marquis' miserable year got even worse, with a 6.75 ERA for August. New acquisition Jeff Weaver followed up his 6.46 July with a 5.67 August. Closer Jason Isringhausen also struggled, blowing two saves, taking three losses and posting a 5.06 ERA for the month. </p><p>Injuries took their toll on position players as well. Jim Edmonds missed half the month with post-concussion syndrome<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and David Eckstein went on the disabled list with a strained oblique muscle.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Cardinals signed Preston Wilson, who had been released by Houston, to fill the hole caused by Edmonds' injury.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>St. Louis ended July by dropping four in a row and lost four more in a row to start August. After going 18 years without an eight-game losing streak the Redbirds now had their second of the 2006 season. They finally snapped that streak and played somewhat better for the rest of August, as Pujols and Rolen both continued to hit well and Chris Duncan, now playing almost every day, led the team with nine home runs for the month. Backup catcher Gary Bennett had a spectacular weekend at the end of August, homering and hitting a walk-off single to beat the Cubs on the 26th and hitting a walk-off grand slam to beat the Cubs again on the 27th. The Cardinals went 13-15 for the month and ended August with a record of 71-61, still enjoying an NL Central lead of five games over Cincinnati and six games over Houston.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="September:_Photo_finish">September: Photo finish</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2006_St._Louis_Cardinals_season&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: September: Photo finish"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Cardinals' strange, up/down season would get even stranger in the final month, as the team staggered to the finish while trying to avoid a shocking collapse.

Ortiz settled for a 4-1 victory. Just four days after that on September 9, the Cardinals again almost got no-hit, getting only one Scott Rolen double in a 3-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. </p><p>As the season wound down, St. Louis seemed to run out of gas. Edmonds and Eckstein missed almost the whole month with their injuries. Duncan, who'd made major contributions to a slumping offense in July and August, slumped to a .212 September. Even worse, Scott Rolen, the second-best hitter on the team for five months, went into a terrible slump and hit .227 for the final month. Encarnacion hit .238, Belliard .219, and Molina .224. The only players contributing offense in the final month were Pujols and Scott Spiezio, whose power surge allowed him to post a 1.042 OPS for the last month of the season. </p><p>On the pitching mound, Marquis ended his awful year with a dismal 7.25 ERA in September.

St. Louis would advance to the NLCS to face the best team in the National League in 2006, the New York Mets. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="League_Championship_Series">League Championship Series</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2006_St._Louis_Cardinals_season&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: League Championship Series"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/2006_National_League_Championship_Series" title="2006 National League Championship Series">2006 National League Championship Series</a></div> <p>The Cardinals began the NLCS as huge underdogs to the New York Mets. The Mets won fourteen games more than the Cardinals did in 2006. Their offense scored 53 runs more than the Cardinals' did. Their pitchers allowed 31 fewer.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In head-to-head contests during the season, the Mets won four of six from St. Louis. Also, by virtue of the better record, the Mets would have home field advantage. </p><p>However, the series would be hard-fought by both sides. New York won Game 1 2-0 behind the pitching of ace <a href="/wiki/Tom_Glavine" title="Tom Glavine">Tom Glavine</a> and a two-run homer by <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Beltr%C3%A1n" title="Carlos Beltrán">Carlos Beltrán</a>. The Cardinals won Game 2 9-6 by scoring three runs off Met closer <a href="/wiki/Billy_Wagner" title="Billy Wagner">Billy Wagner</a> in the top of the ninth inning, the rally started by a home run from light-hitting (16 career HR in 960 at-bats) <a href="/wiki/So_Taguchi" title="So Taguchi">So Taguchi</a>. St. Louis won Games 3 and 5 and New York won Games 4 and 6, setting up a winner-take-all Game 7 in New York. Light drizzle fell all game, increasing to a light rain in the later innings. The Mets scored in the bottom of the first on a double by Beltran and a single by Wright, but would not get another hit until the ninth. The Cardinals evened it up at 1-1 in the second on singles by Molina (who followed up his Division Series success by hitting .348 in this series) and Edmonds and a sacrifice <a href="/wiki/Bunt_(baseball)" title="Bunt (baseball)">bunt</a> by Belliard. There the score would stay for seven innings, thanks in part to Met left fielder <a href="/wiki/Endy_Ch%C3%A1vez" title="Endy Chávez">Endy Chávez</a>, who made a leaping catch of Scott Rolen's almost-home run in the sixth and doubled Jim Edmonds off of first. </p><p>The game was still tied with one out in the top of the ninth when Rolen singled. Molina, batting next, (and like Taguchi not a home run hitter, with 16 in 937 big-league at-bats), hit a two-run homer over the left field wall to give the Cardinals a 3-1 lead. In the bottom of the ninth inning, the Mets loaded the bases with two out on singles by <a href="/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Valent%C3%ADn" title="José Valentín">José Valentín</a> and Chavez and a walk to catcher <a href="/wiki/Paul_Lo_Duca" title="Paul Lo Duca">Paul Lo Duca</a>. That brought to the plate Cardinal-killer Carlos Beltrán (18 for 51 with seven home runs against St. Louis in the <a href="/wiki/2004_National_League_Championship_Series" title="2004 National League Championship Series">2004</a> and 2006 NLCS), who in the regular season hit 41 home runs and drove in 116 runs.
