The first round of the playoffs are said and done with, and my, were there some surprises to be had! A pair of underdogs, the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals were able to get out of the first round of the playoffs with dramatic Game 5 victories on the road against two of the best teams in baseball, the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees. The entire AL East is said and done with as well, as the Tampa Bay Rays were sent packing in four games by the Texas Rangers. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers were able to survive after blowing a 2-0 series lead against the Arizona Diamondbacks to win a nervy Game 5 at Miller Park in extra innings.

The Texas Rangers are heading to the World Series for the second straight year. The boys from the Lone Star State got the job done this year, winning the ALCS in spite of the fact that they don’t truly have an ace pitcher to hand the ball off to. However, between an offense that got a whopping six home runs from Nelson Cruz and a staff that didn’t have an absolutely awful game in the ALCS, the Detroit Tigers never stood a chance of surviving. Cruz predictable won ALCS MVP honors in a series that really didn’t feature much in the way of solid pitching out of the starters.

The Cardinals’ bats were just too tough to tame in this series for the Brewers. They had won their first three games of the playoffs at home, but after that, they were all said and done with, losing two of the final three to seal their fate. St. Louis now goes from the biggest underdog on the World Series odds to one which really has a shot of winning it all, especially after series MVP, David Freese came through. He and Albert Pujols are both batting over .400 for the playoffs. If Manager Tony LaRussa can be concerned about one thing, it is that his starting pitchers were terrible. None of the six were able to even make it into the sixth inning.

What a postseason, and what a World Series! This is officially the most games that have ever been played in a postseason, as we have only been cheated out of a grand total of three playoff games for the entire year. However, after 2,429 regular season games (since one ended up not being made up), 19 in the LDS series, 12 in the LCS series, and six here in the World Series, it comes down to just one more game to determine the champion. The St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers have traded body blow after body blow to one another in this series, but there were no blows like the one that was issued on Thursday night.

The Cards found themselves down on four different occasions jsut in the first seven innings of the game. They were behind 7-4 in the seventh inning before rallying for a run in the eighth. All looked to be lost in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and two strikes to little David Freese, who happened to be the hero of the NLCS. He immediately became the hero that saved St. Louis’ season by blasting a two out, two strike, two run triple to tie up the game.

Josh Hamilton hit a two run homer in the 10th inning that appeared to restore order in the Lone Star State, reinstating Texas’ two run lead. However, again, with two outs and two strikes, the Cardinals struck, getting a two run single from Lance Berkman.

After not scoring in the top of the 11th inning, it was Freese that did it again, hitting the solo homer that forced a Game 7.

Just think about where this St. Louis team has come from… It had to have a miracle just to get into the playoffs, as it was 8.5 games back in September of just making the second season. Then it rallied from down 2-1 against the Philadelphia Phillies in the first round of the playoffs, erased a 1-0 deficit in the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers and won a de facto best of three series down the stretch, needing a win at the impossible Miller Park to get into the Fall Classic, and then, after blowing a 1-0 and 2-1 series lead, the Cardinals rallied on their final strike… twice… just to force a Game 7.

For Texas, this becomes a hard task, as it became the third team in the history of baseball to lose a clinching World Series game when it just needed to get one final out. No one had ever done it twice in the same game. One of those teams, the Boston Red Sox, went on to lose the World Series in Game 7 against the New York Mets, continuing a nearly 100 year curse on the franchise without a title. The other team that lost a game with just one more out needed was in 1911. The Philadelphia A’s blew it against the New York Yankees, but they came back to win the final game of the series.

Neither of those teams were as close as the Rangers were, though… twice. Never had a team been down to its last out and lived to tell about it in the World Series. Not only did St. Louis do it in the 9th inning, but it did it in the 10th inning as well.

Enjoy Game 7, folks. It’s bound to once again be a doozy.
