Torre's Troops!

Miracles do happen!  Last night at Chavez Ravine, when the Dodgers seemed as good as dead, a dropped fly ball breathed life in their ninth-inning comeback.  Then in order, a Casey Blake Great AB, a Ronnie Belliard Frozen Rope, a wild pitch on the way to loading the bases and a Mark Loretta vintage "hit it where they ain't" chinker proceeded to give the Dodgers their (pardon the pun) "Hollywood Ending"! 

I can tell you from spending so many nights in dugouts, this loss will cost the Cardinals more than just a Game Two loss.  Nobody understands momentum, until they either gain it or lose it.  In a game where Adam Wainswright dominated the Dodgers and the Redbirds outhitters the Bums 10-5 (with 2 of the hits coming in the ninth), Ryan Franklin, Matt Holliday, and the rest of the Red Army lost momentum in this series (and their post-season quest) last night.
 
Now up 2-0 over the Cardinals, It is my opinion that Torre's troops will march into St. Louis Saturday night and continue to "Part the Red Sea" on their way to the Fall Classic!
