    If the Cards lose the series, Pujols is going to have to take some credit for the loss. Screwed up cutting off the ball, allowing the runner to advance to second. Called a hit and run, didn’t hit or make contact, strukout and runner thrown out.

    As long as the Cardinals lose, I’ll be happy. Having the Rangers deal out the beatdown is just extra awesomesauce.
