OT - Cards escape jaws of defeat

[Manster68]

Just like in 1986, when Henderson and the BoSox were down to their last strike against Donny Moore and the Angels, Eckstein was down to his last strike and got a base hit.

Then Edmonds walked.

Then Albert Pujols absolutely CRUSHED a homer off of Lidge to put the Cards ahead 5-4.

Unbelievable!!

Game ain't over yet though.

Yeah, steroid boy came through didn't he? I would have put the go ahead run on second instead of pitching to that guy.

It's over now.

On to St.Louis.

Heartbreaking for the Astros.

They HAVE to win game 6.

I have NO faith in Clemens for a game 7. He has not been that great as a starter this post season. Roy O is Houston's last hope.

1 out...1 strike away...the story of Houston's sports.

Seriously, how do you not walk Pujols in that postiion. I would not want any part of him in that situation.

bitter much ?

 

[Cbz40]

I'm afraid they gave the momentum back to the Cardinals........I agree game 6 is a must. Come on Roy O

They could have chosen not to pitch to him (which is something I hate about baseball), but they felt confident they could skate through.

It was a great game.
