Congratulations to the Cardinals. They fought back from elimination twice in the last game, and then stayed on course to win tonight so they didn't waste that amazing comeback.
For the Rangers ..... 2 years in a row ..... bitter disappointment.

Sucks for Rangers fans.....we know where they are right now. We had the Marlins beat, the title was there and we blew it on the biggest stage.
Oh well. Great series to watch as a fan. I'll never forget Game 6.

Neftali Feliz is the new Jose Mesa
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

J/C
I remember David Freese's name being thrown around back when the Indians' were talking about a deal with St Louis - not sure if it was DeRosa or maybe the run-up to trading Sabathia. The guy was clutch in the series for sure, and would look great at the hot corner for us.
I was pulling for the Rangers, mostly because I was always a fan of Nolan Ryan ... great competitor, plus he treated Robin Ventura's face like a meat hammer treats a cheap steak when Ventura was dumb enough to charge the mound after being hit. But, it was a good series to watch and the Cardinals earned it. I'm happy for their fans, which have to be among the best in sports.

Ha! Glad I noticed the "j/c". At first I thought "uh-oh, I have cheesed off Michelle.".

I was rooting for the Rangers, mostly for the same reason Dave mentioned above, generally speaking I'm a national league guy but I just can't root against Nolan Ryan. Now my wife is from Missouri and she was sitting next to me rooting for the Cardinals. After the top half of the first, she hit me pretty hard.  Sadly that was the last opportunity she had to hit me all evening.

You could sense that the Rangers were reeling from Game 6, and then when the Cardinals answered their 2 run first with 2 of their own in the bottom of the first, they were totally deflated. They must have thought "this team can't be put away.". Then, with Hamilton, Cruz, and Napoli all hurting physically, it was just a bridge too far to come back from a 5-2 deficit.

Hometown kid comes up clutch on the biggest stage of all and wills his team to a championship? What a touching story.
