One of the best World Series games ever

Game 6 of this 2011 World Series was a memorable one. The Rangers had the lead 7 - 4 at the end of the 7th inning, 7 - 5 at the end of the 8th inning and that's when the magic took place for the people of St. Louis. The Cardinals were down to their last strike two times, but somehow and some way they found a way to rally. David Freese had the two-run triple in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up. Josh Hamilton came up in the top of 10 and delivered what seemed to be the game-winning home run, but St. Louis had a different ending in mind.

David Freese especially did. He wanted to be the hero and save the series for them. He hit a long, towering fly ball, no doubt about it-- shot right over the center field wall. The Cardinals bench erupted along with Busch Stadium. It was a Cardinals victory.

As famously predicted right here, I chose the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Texas Rangers in 7 games. Game 7 takes place tonight at 8:05 P.M. in St. Louis. The Cards send Chris Carpenter to the hill to take on Matt Harrison of the Rangers. Who wants it more?

The before.

The after.
