2011 World Series: The Cardinals Want to Win Game 4

A fairly obvious headline I spotted yesterday amazingly came to fruition in Game 3 last night. The Cardinals and Rangers both answered the bell by plating far more runs than they did in Game 2. In fact, they combined for 23 runs making the unorthodox mission a wild success. Not to be outdone, a celebration of the obvious has made an appearance once again. Today’s thought-provoking headline? The Cardinals are going into Game 4 looking to win and take a 3-1 lead. Now I don’t know about you, but I’m relieved to learn of these plans as I would otherwise have no idea as to what Tony La Russa’s intentions were in Arlington this evening:
In other news, Josh Hamilton “says he might have Sports Hernia.” Now while I am flattered by his forwardness, I’m also a bit concerned at how mentally centered the Rangers slugger is going into such a critical game. Come on everybody, sing it for Josh: “Get well, get well soon, we wish you to get well … Geeeet well, get well soon, we wish you to get well…”
As Peterman stated, it really is a stirring little anthem of wellness.
Tonight’s starters are Derek Holland, who has served up five homers in 13.2 innings so far this postseason, and Edwin Jackson, a pitcher pretty much impossible to predict. Six innings of 2-run ball? Sure. Two innings of home run derby? Why the hell not.
