Talk about a dramatic finish. The Cardinals were down to their final swing when David Eckstein chipped a base hit to right and then Jim Edmonds coaxed a walk from Brad Lidge.
With two outs mighty Albert Pujols stepped in and took the second pitch from Lidge deep into the Texas night. I believe that ball would still be climbing had the roof on that cracker jack ballpark been open. Like the quote in "Bull Durham",.."Anything that goes that far should have a stewardess on it"!
I can't wait for Wednesday night and hope that Albert's homer energizes the Cardinals to win the final two and make it to the World Series.
