WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS

WOW!!!!! back from the dead...10 1/2 games out on August 25th...3 games out with just 5 games to play.....had to win on the final regular season day just to make the playoffs...an instant classic in game 5 of the NLDS to beat the phillies after being down 2 games to 1....took out the brewers but without many dramatics in 6 games....what looked so promising to close the world series out in 5 or 6 games then turned into disaster with a blown save and an ugly 4-2 loss...THEN CAME THE HEROICS....david freese bottom of the 9th down by 2 runs and 2 strikes on him & he hits a shot off the right field wall to score 2 & send it to extra innings....the season then looked over again for these cardiac cards after josh hamilton hit a 2 run bomb to make it 9-7 rangers...NOT SO FAST!!!....down to their final strike and lance berkman hits a bloop single to score daniel descalso and tie it at 9....after a scoreless inning for the rangers in the 11th the home town hero david freese stepped to the plate...full count no out, nobody on and he walks off to send it to a game 7....after being down 2-0 in the 1st inning these resiliant cards came back to tie it at 2-2 in the bottom half of the 1st on a david freese 2 run double....the st. louis cardinals never looked back, allen craig hit a solo homer to make it 3-2, then the cardinals scored 2 runs on 3 walks and 2 hit batters in an inning to make it 5-2....yadi then sealed it with a single that made it 6-2 and jason motte got the rangers 1-2-3 in the 9th.....a historic run and a season i will never forget
