They just completed one of the greatest comebacks in MLB history. LaRussa did a great job of managing, and he deserves some credit for this. That's why he will be in Cooperstown one day.
They didn't quit all year when they could have- great job by Carpenter stepping up tonight. I don't think he will be a HOF pitcher because injuries have robbed him of some stats, but he is one of the best pitchers in the game and Cardinal history because of nights and performances like this.
They did this without Adam Wainwright- their best pitcher. They finally figured out that Jason Motte should be the closer- something I had wanted them to do since April.
And then the other players that have stepped up such as Rafael Furcal, MSU's own sort of Adron Chambers, and Allen Craig among others- and then Eduardo Sanchez last night. Skip Shumaker's hit last night- I could go on.... definately a team effort.
Very proud of the team tonight- they deserve it.
