The St.Louis Cardinals defeated the Texas Rangers tonight in World Series Game 7 by a score of 6-2. Chris Carpenter pitched a fantastic game and the Cardinals offense took the lead in the 3rd and never looked back. The real killing blow was when Scott Feldamn loaded the bases and then walked in the run and then CJ Wilson came in and hit the first batter to give the Cardinals a 5-2 lead. You have to feel bad for Rangers fans, they were 1 strike away from winning the world series twice and their bullpen failed them both times.
The Rangers lost in the World Series for the second consecutive year, which could make their off-season extremely interesting. Last Year they lost Cliff Lee and brought in Adrian Beltre.This year they have to wonder if C.J Wilson will stay or go. Will they make a lot of changes to shake things up, or keep things as they are, considering it brought them consecutive pennants? The bullpen lost them the world series but was key in them winning the pennant so what do you do there.
Regardless of the off-season this was a hell of a game and the Cardinals comeback in game 6 made that game one of the greatest of all time. Also as Joe Buck let us know numerous times this may be the last time that Wilson or Pujols suit up for their respective teams and while the Pujols saga will be trying for Cardinals fans at least they won, while Rangers fans have to think about game 6 and how their bullpen twice failed to win them the series. Great series for both teams.
Congratulations to David Freese for winning the series MVP.
