Damn you Pujols!
As I'm watching the Astros game, my heart races faster and faster. My pulse quickens, my eyes widen, my heart flutters. There's no way around it, I'm nervous. Then all of a sudden, BAM! Berkman puts us ahead two runs with his three-run homer to left! AWESOME! I'm psyched now! With our bullpen and Lights Out Lidge coming up in the 9th inning, no WAY the Cardinals come back! What does Lidge do? Starts off by letting that little bugger Eckstein on base. Okay, he has a knack of doing that. But then Lidge walks Edmonds! NO! Why?! Do NOT let Pujols come to the plate and swing that bat of his. Sure enough, Pujols hits a BLAST to left. 5-4 Cards. Our anemic bats can't muster up a measly baserunner in the bottom of the 9th. Back to St. Louis we go. Fuck.
