Top of the 4th Some guy named Pujols leads off...

Fouls off the first one straight back and takes ball one low...1-1

Strike two taken on the inside corner at the belt.
Lohse wasn't getting those calls...

Next pitch way high...pitch after that is Pujols first hit of the series, a lead off single to right.

Here's MATT HOLLIDAY!

Inside, ball one, close call...

High and outside for ball two...Torrealba takes the new ball out to the mound...talks it over. Pujols and Napoli are chatting...sorta...

Here's the pitch a double play ball! Out at SECOND...Throw high, Napoli tags Holliday but he is called safe anyway. Texas fans are booing...Holliday was out...(Bad throw from Kinsler cost them)

Berkman up to CAPITALIZE!

Ball one, strike one fouled back...

Ball two a little low and some Texas fan is screaming about the strike zone. That one missed, though, bud.

Berkman shoots a solid single to right...first and second, one out...

Texas fans start booing again. They've been wronged, I suppose. Ha!

David "Hometown Hero" Freese steps to the plate with a chance to add to the Cards lead. He looks calm, cool, collected. He's seeing the ball well, let's the first one go by way out of the zone.

Ball one
Ball two
Hitter's count, Harrison scowls at the ump...

Swing and a miss on an off speed out of the zone, strike one

Foul out of play on the next pitch and it is 2-2 but Freese is un-fased [sic]

FREESE SHOOtS iT DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD LINE! HOLLIDAY SCORES! FREESE DOUBLES! BERKMAN HOLDS AT THIRD!

Great hitting Freese. Great. So clutch.

Greg Maddux's brother to the mound to discuss pitching. Meanwhile, I'm reading Alex Van Halen's book on lead guitar playing.

Yadi Molina steps to the plate. Neck Tat takes ball one.

High, ball two, and let's go to the mound again? No. Play ball. On the ropes, guys.

They'll walk Molina to load the bases and pitch to Jon Jay, next year's everyday CFer?

Feldman is warming up his "go ahead run" pitch in the bullpen...

Jon Jay takes a big swing and a miss, strike one.

Jon Jay chops it, Napoli charges...throws home and BAD THROW! Two runs score (terrible throw). Napoli at First was a risk and here's why. There's a GRIM LOOKING NOLAN RYAN AND DUBYA! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! How will history remember the Rangers and Dubya? Loo-hoo--zerrrs.

4-0 Cardinals in the 4th.

2nd and third, one out for Theriot...

The 1-2 pitch...inside, almost hit him

Theriot is trying for the SAC FLY?

How about a base hit for THERIOT! YADI SCORES! FIIIIIIIVE nothing cardinals!

Furcal is the 8th Cardinal batter this inning...

Furcal chops it to the pitcher and this time the Rangers get the guy at home...Jay out, TWO DOWN

Here is Allen Craig who will face a new Texas pitcher...Heeeeeeeere's FELDMAN!

(Harrison lasts only 3 and two thirds; the pitching was the difference in the series)

Craig lives out in Burlingame by the San Francisco airport! I'll be there on Wednesday!

Feldman quickly throws two balls...

Feldman finally conjurs up a strike called.

Craig in Right and Berkman is DH'ing. Jay in Center.

Ball 3 low.

Craig chops to 2nd, inning over.

A big 4 run fourth puts the Cards IN CONTROL.

Can Lohse hold them?
