Top of the 5th, Pujols leads off again...

wow what a play to end the fourth...Holliday getting the double play...

Pujols smokes the second pitch to center for his second single of the night.

Holliday up, great play in the bottom half, what will he do in the top?

Shannon says this game will not end 5-3.

You gotta keep punching, shannon says. THIS IS A HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT, BABY!

Strike one on Holliday...
Ball one low
BIG PUMA ON DECK
Ball two inside

Check on Pujols at first, bad throw, Napoli leaps to grab it. I hate all current and former Angels.

GREAT THROW FROM HOLLIDAY! REPLAY!

Holliday takes ball three and four...two on, no one out for BIG MOTHER FUNNIN' PUMA!

LaRussa apparently directed Holliday personally to throw out Napoli at home according to the Replay. GENIUS!

Ball one to BIG MF Puma

Ball two to BIG MF Puma

Freese on deck

Ball three to BIG MF Puma

He swinging if he wishes, says Shannon

Strike one to BIG MF Puma

Mark Lowe warming in the bullpen to pitch to Freese? I hope he pitches to him sometime this series.

The pitch...ball four loads the bases...

Here is Freese and there's Greg Maddux's bro to give pointers to the pitcher while I watch Jermaine Jackson's Dance instructional video.

Freese shatters his bat, ground ball past the pitcher, Pujols scores, Freese out at first.

6-3 Cardinals, one out. Nice job David. I mean, it's not like you were facing Mark Lowe.

Feldman stays in there to pitch to Neck Tat.

High, ball one to Yadi
Strike one fouled back
WOW!

Molina RAKES it down the left field line for a TWO RBI DOUBLE! Yeah, Yadi!

8-3 CARDS! Absolutely RAKED!

Jon Jay bats with one on, one out. Cards back up by 5.

Jay grounds back to the pitcher and they get Yadi hung up between 2nd and 3rd. Two out, Jay at first.

Theriot up, check on Jay at first who swiped 6 during the regular season.

Ball one to Theriot. Shannon says the 5th feels like the 12th. "Like picking apples in an apple orchard...hehehehe...mercy...I always tried to take an apple to the teacher. I needed it." Shannon is really cracking himself up here.

Jay GOES and the throw gets him. END OF INNING
