Cards 5, Astros 4
Arrrgggghhhhhhhhh! One out away from the World Series. One pitch away, and Brad Lidge couldn't make it. After Eckstine's hit, Lidge couldn't make any pitches. I blame Phil Garner and Brad Asmus as much as Lidge. I haven't played baseball since Little League, but my theory would be: Pitch around Pujols, and whatever you do, don't groove him one. He hit the kind of home run that's more than a game winner. It's a stake in the heart. My prediction: Oswalt and Clemens won't be able to carry the load. Cards in seven.

It was the Eckstine at-bat that did it. After striking out the first two, then losing that at-bat, you could see Lidge was shaken after that.
Pujols should have never been up there as the go ahead run.
Sometimes all it takes is one mistake for the tide to turn. Buckner's wicket play, the Cubs fan who interfered, and now the Pujols homer (it was a mistake to pitch to him, or leave that pitcher in). The Cards are going home with a lot of momentum. I'm still hoping for an Astros victory, but if they don't clinch it in six they'll lose. My seven-game playoff theory is that the team who wins the fifth game will win the series.
I support Astros, but They never win. I don't know what's going on, I mean, in these last couple of years I've begun to acustom myself to lose.
