You have to congratulate the Cardinals on their success. They seem to have jelled at the right time. It kind of demonstrates that with the relative parity of talent in the game today, a mediocre team can make a few changes at the trade deadline, and if they get hot and lucky, well, anything can happen.
Which is not to take anything away from their heroic efforts, especially in Game 6. I still cannot figure out how Texas was able to lose that game, not once, but three times. Some of it had to do with managerial choices that were made, particularly putting the tying run in the person of Albert Pujols on base. Still, it was the Cards who took advantage.
After the devastating loss in Game 6, it was hard to envisage the Rangers coming back, and, of course, they did not. Game 7, like Game 3, was one-sided, and a bore.
