World Series: wrap

After a historic game six, the St. Louis Cardinals come all the way back to win their eleventh World Series title.  Game six, was one of the all-time great baseball games with the Cardinals overcoming three errors, only to come back from two run deficits twice and win in walk-off fashion behind the bat of World Series MVP, David Freese. I thought if Texas was going to win the title, they had to close the door in game six, if you're Texas you didn't want to be playing a game seven on the road.  In game seven Cardinal horse, Chris Carpenter who struggled early on pitched the Cardinals to their eleventh title in franchise history.  The Texas Rangers were plagued by injuries to Josh Hamilton, who was never himself at the plate, Nelson Cruz, and Mike Napoli.  Injuries and the Cardinals slowed down the Texas running game and  they couldn't get the crucial hit with runners in scoring position.  David Freese, Lance Beckman, first title, and Albert Pujols, impending free-agent, as well as the rest of the Cardinals won a historic World Series.
