That 2011 Game 6 was a clinic... lots of baseball stuff happening. At times it was sloppy, at times inspired, and it certainly had more than its fair share of excitement.
I still don't understand why pitcher Jackson was announced as a pinch hitter and then replaced with pitcher Lohse... the runners had not moved nor was there a pitching change, the situation remained the same, so why not put in Lohse initially?
I can understand how occasionally a ball will bounce out of a glove, it's frustrating but understandable. Jay's throw that didn't go to second did not hurt the Cardinals, but that's the kind of stuff that really gets me.
What a game.
I do wish MLB would redo the TV contract so that at least ONE of the first 4 games each series would be a day game, so we could get back to the days of transistor radios being carried around, businesses would have the game on, there was a hushed undercurrent of keeping up with the game as everyone was at work or school. We've lost that.
