Cardinals completes his epic World Series conquest

The St. Louis Cardinals, the team that never daunted, on Friday were devoted champions of the World Series for the tenth first time in their history after beating Rangers 6-2 to Texas. In the first seventh game in a World Series since 2002, Chris Carpenter showed his race by launching six innings for the Cardinals with three days off. In addition, unexpected heroes David Freese and Allen Craig again be crucial to their bats. Craig hit a home run that gave the lead for St. Louis in the third inning and Freese hit an RBI double two-run served to clear away early bird advantage of Texas, who paid dearly for the lack of control of their pitchers. To the delight of a full house of 47,399 fans at Busch Stadium, Jason Motte retired David Murphy with a fly to left field for the final out. Led by Tony La Russa, the Cardinals celebrated over another crown and first since 2006.

They also established themselves as the second team with more titles from the majors, behind only the 27 of the New York Yankees. One night after surviving after meeting twice a strike away from being eliminated, San Luis became the 19th set in history that turned a 3-2 disadvantage in the Fall Classic to devote. It was a sad ending for the Rangers, the first team to succumb in two consecutive classics from Atlanta in 1991-92.

The Cardinals, however, is became the fifth wild card to be crowned champion and first since Boston Red Sox 2004. In no better way might be when considering the turmoil the team from the North Central United States first had to pass to sneak in the playoffs and then knock down one favorite after another. She had to overcome a difference of 10 ½ games to remove the wildcard to Atlanta on the last day of the regular season. She had to rebound after going 2-1 against in first-round series against the Philadelphia Phillies, owners of the best record in the regular season. Then he let out to Milwaukee, the rival who beat him in the AL Central by six games apart. 'And of course the two comebacks from the previous night in which Freese tied the game in the ninth inning with a triple and defined with a home run in the eleventh.

Texas struck first when Josh Hamilton and Michael Young hit consecutive doubles in the initial entry to go up 2-0. Carpenter struggled and retired to his first batter until the fifth struck out Adrian Beltre. The Rangers could have done more in that inning, but the receiver Yadier Molina Ian Kinsler surprised too far from the initial one. It was the second time in the series that Molina threw out a similar move Kinsler. But the hero of the night before was responsible for reviving the fans. After taking the first two outs, Rangers starter Matt Harrison gave the tickets Albert Pujols followed and Lance Berkman. Freese came to bat and hit a 3-2 pitch into account his double to left for a 2-2 draw. St. Louis went ahead 3-2 with the third homer of the series of Craig, an opposite field homer to the right with a out. The ball landed in the Cardinals' bullpen, reliever Octavio Dotel where he raised his arm in approval.

Craig was a starter because Matt Holliday, the head of left, is out after injuring his right wrist being pulled out in third base. Craig also wore stealing a home run to Nelson Cruz to pull the glove over the fence in the sixth. While Carpenter was less to more, the Texas pitching lost the compass. St. Louis off the fifth with two runs without additional get the ball infield to the reelvistas Scott Feldman and CJ Wilson, an entry of three walks, one intentional, and two balls. The races went in with a ticket to a pitch to Molina and Rafael Furcal.

Carpenter, in just his second start of his career with three days' rest, gave up six hits and two walks. He struck out five first pitcher in a decade to make three starts in a World Series mims, Carpenter was relieved by Arthur Rhodes after allowing a double to David Murphy to open the seventh Harrison allowed three runs, five hits and three walks in four innings. The sixth entry in San Luis fell in the seventh with Molina's single to center, the ninth RBI of the Puerto Rican in the series. The Rangers did not lose consecutive games since late August and the two-game losing streak in San Luis will hurt for long. And so wrote the epilogue to a full season marked by spectacular comebacks and humiliating collapse. It was also the pin for an unforgettable postseason in which 38 of the 41 played games planned.

The 1926 Cardinals and the Cardinals this year

FLUSHING, New York (VIP WIRE) .- "Alimony is a system whereby if two people make a mistake, one that continues to pay for" ... Pachomius .- -ooooo- When you, one of my honorable million readers or more, says the Yankees have won 27 World Series, and when I write, you and I think, who knows why or how, it has been the same team. We make a mistake I do not know if it's mathematical, historical or distraction. The first series was won by the Yorkers over the Giants in 1923, when there was none of the Yankees born winners in 2009 at the expense of Phillies .

And there was none of the Cardinals born 2011, when in 1926 they won their first classic Yankees fall to them. That is the story of over-name franchises is one thing, and those who win and lose championships are quite another . Even the team owners and executives often change enough as to be matters of another count. The Cardinals are this weekend on the grounds of Arlington, Texas, have just three players who represented the St. Louis in the 2006 World Series when they beat the Tigers. They are Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and Chris Carpenter. Adam Wainwright, did not play this year, recovering from Tommy John surgery. And if those Yankees of 1923 and 1926, the Cardinals have nothing to do with the soldiers of the same names now, for reasons of life and death, now days last year a team can be very different at the same this year for reasons of free agents, multi-million dollar contracts and annexes. The Mets of 2011 ended with two players from those dudes triumphal Flushing who won 97 games in 2006, Jose Reyes and David Wright. And here, between you and me, we assume that either appear on the roster in 2012.

I love the tradition, which were honored by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Marty Marion, Hank Greenberg, Christy Mathewson and Walter Johnson. But, of course, is good to remember, even once in a while, that the won who have nothing to do with those who succeed today.
