“How do we stay relaxed? We show you tomorrow.” - Albert Pujols on Sunday after their heartbreaking and tense loss to the Astros in Game 4 in Houston.And when it came down to the ninth inning. Cardinals down two. Two men out. Two men on. And Pujols, age 25, picked up the bat, and not long after, hit the ball into left field at Minute Maid Park on Monday night. It's GONE! Cardinals 5-4.
Carpenter and Pettitte were a bit loose letting some runs go, including a 3run homer by Lance Berkman of the Astros in the 7th. But the defense wasn't too bad, and Jason Isringhausen gets the save!
I know how after 9/11 that our true heroes are our firemen, policemen, and armed forces, but to me, and many others, Albert Pujols is slightly a hero. These times for my family and some friends, as well as the planning job market, haven't been too great.
Within not too long, the Cardinals will be the "Lords of the Rings!"
Sometimes "we all need the help it brings, so let's sing!"*
