On some level, it just kills me seeing the Cardinals, and not my Brewers doing this. But on a much bigger level, as an absolute lover of baseball, what an amazing game to behold. Just a joy. If I ever have kids, this is a game that they will talk about, and I will be able to tell them I saw it.
This is why baseball, not football, not basketball, is the greatest game ever conceived. We can all argue the popularity of the NFL, NBA and MLB, but in it's simplest terms, there is no game like baseball. How many times tonight did we see the Cardinals barely hanging on by a thread? You were down to your final strike, what, twice? There was no shot clock ticking down, no 2 minute warning. Three simple outs, and a team unlike any other I have ever witnessed. Call it a team of destiny, call it an absolute refusal to lose, this St. Louis Cardinals team has guts, and heart, and an unwillingness to give up...the Cardinals might be our enemy during the regular season, but as a Brewers fan, as a baseball fan, I've got to say...
Nicely done!
Well said, Lambeau. I appreciate your feelings on this. Obviously you're a true fan of this game.
