I've seen or listened to parts of 95% of the Cardinals games this season, as I do almost every season. I am a huge optimist of a fan, but I gave up and went through my almost annual grieving process back in August. Since then it has been all house money, easy fun. But tonight, with all the errors and missed opportunities, and being a strike away from it all being over, again I despaired. When they tied it I couldn't believe it. When Hamilton homered and our bottom of the order and no pinch-hitter were due up I was undone. To rally again, and then that beautiful rainbow of a centerfield homer from Freese, wow.
