Carpenter coughs up the lead 4-2 Stros. 6 outs left in the Cards season.

[BoSox84]

WOW, thats was big, stadium went NUTS

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I cant wait untill the last out is recorded. LETS GO STROS!

[BoSox84]

if this score holds up this should be a pretty good World Series.

Your going to see ALOT of 2-1, 3-2, 3-1 ball games.

Those should be some quick games too. I doubt we have any 4 hour games. Although, if they go extras, with those two bullpens, they could go several extra frames.

[BoSox84]

Im getting sick of seeing this stupid Dell commercial with George Hamilton. 3 outs away for the stro's

true, both pens are very good. 3 outs away untill White Sox vs Astros.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I love seeing Biggio's face in the dugout. He has this look on his face I cant describe.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

1 strike away....

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Eckstein is sick. How many 2 strike hits does this guy get?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Pujols comes to the plate with the game on the line. No better way to end a series or prolong it.

[BoSox84]

Great game, Stadium just died after the walk

[Moose]

s***

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Wow

[BoSox84]

Fat Albert comes through, WOW

[Moose]

f***! f***ing Poo-holes!!!!

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Lidge hung a slider and he payed the price. That my friends is the definetion of clutch. HE CRUSHED THAT BALL!

[BoSox84]

That always seems to happen when you start counting outs. See 2003 Game 7 ALCS

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

They showed Pettitte's reaction when the ball was hit and if you read his lips he said "Oh my god". lmao what a shot.

[schillingouttheks]

Cardinals win it. Pujols, is simply, AMAZING.

 

Series now 3-2 Astros, see you in St. Louis Wednesday night.

[BoSox84]

This could be a big Momentum swing for the Cards. Someting that might turn te series?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

This was a series changing HR people. With the Cards headed back to Bush down 3-2 its the same situation they were in last year.

[Moose]

Props to David Eckstein for keeping the Cards' season alive.

I agree. I was saying to myself that the Astros MUST win this game tonight because if they lose, that give the Cardinals a MAJOR confidence boost. They have Mulder pitching Wednesday and they know they can beat Pettite, Oswalt, and Clemens because they did it before and now Lidge isn't un-hittable in their eyes. Also this extra day helps them because if a Game 7 comes, Carpenter would probably be available that would be on Thursday.

 

Pujols is great. Absolutely great. That shot was simply HUGE.

[RedSoxRooter]

Great game. Wow.

 

That sucked for the Stros. Hey Roger, remember Calvin Sheraldi???

Your right about that day off. They can go to Carpenter in game 7(Out of the pen if Morris gets into trouble). You also bring up a good point about Lidge. They have hit him well in this series. The series IMO has turned.

Yeah, and also this might wake up the Cards offense.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

yep, the pressure is on the Astros now.

[ARod2212]

So I guess baseball can be entertaining without the Yanks or Sox involved. I really wanted to see Pujols get a chance to hit there, just to see what happened. And what happened was one of those "where were you when Pujols hit that homer?" kind of things.

 

On a side note, how do you abandon your fastball in that at bat? You are hitting 98 on the gun, and they've barely touched you. Sliders have the tendency to hang, and guess what happened.

 

I still want Houston to win the series, but boy are the Cards going to roll with this one.
