October 18, 200520 yr What a ballgame this has been. Power vs Power, Lidge vs Pujols, Best Closer in baseball vs Best hitter in baseball.
October 18, 200520 yr Izzy was PH for, who will close this? FOX named Berkman player of the game than BOOM!
October 18, 200520 yr I think that they didn't walk Pujols because you don't want the tying run at second there. Obviously, it burned them.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Pujols and Berkman's homers both barely made it out of the park.

October 18, 200520 yr Lidge has nasty stuff but his control sucks at times. Why in the f*** would you ever walk Edmonds to face Pujols. Make Edmonds beat you.
October 18, 200520 yr I think that they didn't walk Pujols because you don't want the tying run at second there. Obviously, it burned them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The tying run was already on base. Eckstein was at 2nd base and Edmonds was on 1st base with a walk. This could be the start of a Cubs-esque meltdown.

October 18, 200520 yr Cubs were 5 outs away which is far by comparison to being ONE STRIKE AWAY until Eckstein hits that little seeing eye single to the left side. This is what it's all about. Lidge's confidence has to be shattered. Shades of Donnie Moore.
October 18, 200520 yr Pujols and Berkman's homers both barely made it out of the park. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Berkman's homer was a 315 foot cheapie. Pujols smashed his.

October 18, 200520 yr I have nothing against the Astros and actually feel for their fans but I love watching a team rip another's hearts out on the road like that. The Astro fans look like Cub fans two years ago in the 8th inning of game 6.
October 18, 200520 yr This could absolutely demoralize Houston. I won't be surprised if the Cards take the 2 at home. Wow, I'm still stunned at what I witnessed.
