Baseball. The national distraction. Here goes...
Albert Pujols is petty. He is so meaningless and irrelevant tonight. (I point my fingers to the sky)
Chris Carpenter throws a first pitch strike to David Murphy...
Strike two - "The first good breaking ball we've seen Carpenter throw" - JB (sorry, couldn't get my technology to switch to Rooney and Shannon)
Murphy lines out to Punto ONE OUT
ARCH sighting number two (Pujols is overrated and over 40)
Strike one swinging to CJ Wilson.
Strike two swinging (there was a ball before that)
Wilson flies out to Jon Jay in CF (Where have you gone, Colby Rasmus?)
Turn over the line up...here's Kinsler in the 3rd...
One ball one strike...(called strike, Carp is nasty!)
Strike two swinging (Kinsler wasn't even close)
Fly out too Berkman in Right to the BOTTOM OF THE 3RD!
Punto leads it off and takes one down and in...
SINGLES TO CENTER! First Cardinals hit of the night...
Carp up..."It's not always a given that LaRussa's pitchers are up there to give away an out" - JB
Pulls back on ball 1...Appeal! STRIKE ONE
Oquendo giving the signs...he should be the MGR some day.
Carpenter misses strike 2.
A check on Punto...weak...I hate those perfunctory pick off plays...
Ugly foul bunt for out number one. "Carpenter does not do his job." JB F - that Joe Buck, Carpenter did his job. He was the SERIES MVP!
Michelle Obama is neutral, Ron Washington could tell. What did he mean by that?
Strike one to Furcal, strike two sliced down the line. Jon Jay on deck...
FURCAL WHIFFS on the 0-2. Wilson's first SO of the night? -JB No, he struck out Carp on the bunt.
Jon Jay breaks his bat on the first pitch, ground out to Kinsler. INNING OVER
TOP O' THE FOURTH TO YA!
Carp goes high and tight on Andrus...then he gives him something to foul off...one ball one strike...
We are in St. Louis because the NL won the All star game...thank you Prince Fielder and Joe Buck...
Also, CJ Wilson gave up the Fielder homer. Losing pitcher. He's an Angel now, like that loser Pujols...
Full count to Elvis Andrus...
STRIKE OUT NUMBER ONE FOR CARP!
J-Ham up...Washington chewing Sunflower seeds on air. Even though his wife told him to stop. Dangit Wash, why are you so cute?
J-HAM srikes out looking. Oh, wait...Tim, Joe...there is an awesome pitcher working right now? And you are talking about Maddux. Bitches.
Michael Young takes strike one while you guys were emptying your lungs of total BS.
The ump wasn't paying attention...ball 2 was strike two...
Ground out to Furcal...TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 4TH!
The Anaheim Angels 30 million dollar 2021 DH leads it off...
He works a hitter's count... 2-0
The birds on the bat on his jersey take a HBP to put Albert Pujols, civilian...on first base.
Matt Holliday, the under-appreciated saviour of the Cardinals, shoots the first pitch down the right field line for a double. The birds on the bat end up at third wearing Albert Pujols...for now...
Now it is up to Lance Berkman...who draws his super powers from the birds on the bat on his jersey...takes ball one...
Shoots a double down the RIGHT FIELD LINE AND THE CARDINALS (not Albert Pujols) lead the game 2-0 in the fourth!
Here's the Series Goat, David Freese, who fouls it out of play down the right field line...What's up with hitting it to the opposite field, Goat Freese?
Yadi Neck Tattoo on deck tattoo.
FREESE TAGS IT TO CENTER...And Hamilton catches it...Berkman tags and goes to second...that ball almost got outta here...but Goat ain't got no power to CENTER!
YADI! YADI! YADI!
Yadi grounds out to Elvis on the first pitch. TWO OUT...
Punto walks and here is Carp batting again...TURN OVER THAT LINE UP, CJ!
The Angels are gonna suck so bad in 2012.
Or will they suck so good? Either way, they suck.
Carp strikes out ... INNING OVER
Top O' the 5th to ya!
Ball one and two to Beltre before I could blink...
Beltre base hit to right...LET'S CHAT WITH TONY!
THE BALL is SLICK! is Chris OK? Is Angel Pujols ok? Crazy play! Blah blah blah...I could win this series with Punto in the 3 hole and Theriot batting clean up! I'm Tony Fing LaRussa...
Tony, thanks for your time.
He started in '79 with the Pale Hose, the year I was born...
NELSON CRUZ strikes out swinging . Carp got away with one? He got away with lots in this post season, Tim McCarver. Why don't you recognize? He's nasty...
Here's Napoli, who is also nasty...
Napoli flies one to right and this game is tied - JB...Napoli...wanna be a Cardinal?
Napoli 2 run HR
Where's Allen Craig as a light mist starts to fall here in the fifth?
David Murphy is up. He makes a lot of outs this series, I think.
Murphy chases a nasty pitch for SO number 4 for Carp.
CJ Wilson taps out to PUNTO! That's thhe POINT! Tie game...how will this end, Alexei Ogando? Groundhog day tommorrow...
End of the first half of the 5th...
FURCAL leads it off...
chopped foul, strike one, ball one in the dirt, strike two in the 53rd postseason game for Furcal, outside full count (where was ball 2?), fouled it off, LEAD OFF WALK TO FURCAL!
Jon Jay grounds out to second...Furcal to second.
ANGEL Pujols IBB...BORING! Won't miss that!
Holliday up...GIDP?
Yes...GIDP to Beltre...this sucks! Who will win?
