Calm down, the Cards are still down by 5. Pujols leads off the 9th, but at least no one will be on base when he hits. You know Wilson would have struck out in that situation if he'd still been on the Astros.
Seriously, the Cardinal player psyche is rattled ala NY Yankees 2004 ALCS. There is no coming back from a loss at home to the Brew Crew. Too much pressure and Puljols only has so much HGH to pass around. Know it's the ATL, our longtime nemisis.
Precisely. Both Bagwell and Biggio have been quoted as saying, "Act like you've been there before." One can "have fun" without being a bloody clown. And Lima pumping his fist isn't the same as staring down a home run or some ridiculous bunny-hop, but it was a little OTT as well. Like I said, move your tail around the bases or I'll bruise it next time you step in the box. Write it down.
