Wow, this is probably the best World Series I have seen since 2003. Everything is exciting and intense. All of the games have been pretty exciting and shame on any "baseball fan" that hasn't followed it.
Last night's game started off awfully, the Cardinals made 3 errors in 3 innings and the Rangers had a 7 to 5 lead going into the 9th. Until David Freese played hero the first time, Albert Pujols was on second on a double and Lance Berkman was on first on a walk and Freese hit an opposite field double over Nelson Cruz's head. (Although it looked awkward, Cruz couldn't have got that).
In the top of the 10th the Rangers scored immediately off of Jason Motte when Josh Hamilton hit a 2 run blast and it looked again as if the Rangers had this one wrapped up. However, the fighting Cardinals had a never say die attitude and when Ron Washington threw in 18 year veteran Darren Oliver in, you knew something was going to go bad, he let up one run and then Reliever Scott Feldman let up the tying run to Lance Berkman who has had an unbelievable series. This knotted the game up at 9.
In the top of the 11th Jake Westbrook let up a hit, but no other damage was done. In the bottom of the 11th, the Rangers turned the ball to Mark Lowe who immediately let up a walk off home run to returning hero David Freese.
I'm rooting for Texas still, but this has been a hell of a series and I'm glad there is a game 7.
