The World Series

I have a feeling not too many people in Chicago are watching the World Series this year, but if you're not, you're missing one for the ages.

That game last night might have been one of the greatest World Series games of all time. The Cardinals were down to their last strike in both the ninth and the tenth innings, and came back both times.

David Freese, the hometown St. Louis boy, with visions of Bucknerhood dancing in his head (he dropped an easy pop up leading to a Texas run), hit a triple to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth last night against Texas closer Neftali Feliz. And then, in the bottom of the 11th, he hit the walk off home run to win it.

Unbelievable. Truly awesome game.

I don't know how the Cardinals feel today, but I have a pretty good idea of how the Rangers feel. They may just join a very exclusive club of teams that were only one strike away from winning it all--only to lose the series. If they come back to win Game 7 tonight, I'll be shocked.
