Texas promptly reclaimed the lead in the 10th inning with Josh Hamilton's first home run of the post-season, but Berkman-- down to his last strike-- tied the game again during the bottom of the inning. His beard is different colors! He's only 35.
Albert Pujols usually points up at God when something good happens,
but Lance Berkman probably deserved it this time.
Texas didn't score in the 11th inning. At this point, despite believing all game that I was watching the end of the 2011 baseball season, I had a feeling that St. Louis would pull this one off. They mercifully decided not to give C.J. Wilson a chance to enter the game and continue his season of monumental losses, and instead, David Freese hit a walk-off home run off of scrub pitcher Mark Lowe.but Lance Berkman probably deserved it this time.
He was promptly mauled at home plate, where his jersey was ripped to shreds. It was a truly shocking celebration.
Savagery aside, is there anything that would feel better than hitting a walk-off home run in extra innings of Game 6 of the World Series in your hometown? Congratulations, David Freese. YOU'RE A STAR. Also, Marti said you were cute.
On that note, here are some festive photos of St. Albert making the world a better place:
Everyone celebrate! We've got a Game 7!
Such an act of savagery to such a wholesome-looking hero!
