What elevates this game, from a drama standpoint, is that the Cards were down to their last strike twice before rallying to tie, then top it off with a walk off HR. I posed the idea last night in another thread, before the walk off, that it might be the most dramatic WS game ever.
In retrospect it gets harder to separate out the terrible quality of play. Fielding was simply bad. Bad base running. Bad decision making. Bad pitching.
Still a fabulously exciting game, but after 7 hours or so I am feeling that it fails a bit because it was just so ugly.
