Cards lose/split series in controversial game

Right from the get-go, the home plate umpire came in for a bit of stick from the Brewers bench for calling a few low pitchers from Lohse as strikes and thi carried on all the way through to Kendall even arguing wth the umpire in extra innings. The cards finished the game with a fielder short so La-Rue played first, miles went to SS and Pujols - yes - Pujols played seconf for the first time in his ML career. All these risks and we still went down 9-8 in the 12th. Sure, this cards side showed they had a lot of character coming from 8-3 down to tie up the game. Unfortunately, Izuturis got hurt by a wild pitch from gagne and a bizarre throw from weeks scored the cards tying run. There is not much more you can pack into 4 and a half hours. I watched the game on TV and was on the edge of my seat all night - literally. Great game, great entertainment, shame we couldnt complete the two game sweep.

Positives - Good comeback, great hitting, franklin looked sharp, showed depth and flexibility of the side

Negatives - the loss must be hard to take after 12. Pujols could have injured himself at 2nd, Lohse pitched dodgily for the first time in a cards uniform.

Final after 12 - St. Louis Cardinals 8 Milwaukee Brewers 9

Now, they must head off to Pittsburgh and take 2/2 before coming home to host the Stros over the weekend. I will update after the pirates series and hopefully looking forward to the weekend

until then...
