The St. Louis Cardinals had to claw back from the Texas series deficit to beat Rangers in game 7 of the World Series. For Cardinals fans, the victory was all the sweeter when hometown boy David Freese was named MVP.
The St. Louis Cardinals scored an improbable World Series victory on Friday night, the beat of the Texas Rangers 6-2 in game 7. Cardinals starting pitcher Chris Carpenter gutted his way through six tough innings, and Mr. October (Midwest Version) David Freese did the rest, along a major two-run double the base of the outfield wall in the bottom of the first.
Freese's hit erased an early lead and Texas, the hometown crowd back to life. From there the cardinals who control the game turn by turn and inch by inch, as the Ranger the batsmen quiet and St. Louis has the advantage of the barrel and pressure their batsmen road ahead.
It was a championship all the sweeter by the fact that St. Louis was ten and a half games of a playoff spot in August and have to claw back from the show deficits in the division and the National League Championship Series. At one point in the World Series they were 3-2 in those games. In Game 6 they were a strike away from elimination - twice.
Perhaps no baseball team had ever such a chord for so long went and grabbed a trophy at the end.
"I think the last month of the season, this is where it started," said Cardinals Albert Pujols superstar in the raucous post-game clubhouse. "Different guys are big, big hits, and we carry that into the postseason, and here we are world champions."
The narrative does not end there, though. Here are some important questions for the fans to think as they wait for the agent's King Albert decide whether he will play for the Cubs - or even the Rangers - next season.
How relieved Tony LARUSSA? The cardinal himself as the World Series goat. In Game 5 he failed to ensure that the correct valve is warming up, probably his team the match cost. It was so bad that at one point LaRussa for a right-wing party indicated and greeted by a reliever other than the one he thought he would get.
Now LaRussa will not have to worry about a stain on his reputation. Instead he will be remembered as he should be - the greatest baseball manager games since hit TV. She gets in the clubhouse and master chess player match-ups this time worked. Is he a mad driver on? OK, is Tampa's Joe Maddon relaxed, but how many World Series he won?
