Cards get upper hand as Tigers beat selves
By PAUL HAGEN

ST. LOUIS - When the snow falls in Michigan this winter and the harsh wind blows off the Detroit River and the skies are barren and gray, this is the sequence of events that could haunt Tigers fans:

Nine outs away from evening the 102nd World Series and assuring a return trip to Comerica Park.

Tiny Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein lifts a fly ball over the head of centerfielder Curtis Granderson, who seems to have it lined up... and then slips and falls as the ball lands untouched.

The next batter, pinch-hitter So Taguchi, tried to give the Tigers an out. He drops a sacrifice bunt in front of the plate. Reliever Fernando Rodney picks up the ball... and shot-puts it over the head of first baseman Sean Casey.

OH, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I'm glad I didn't see the game...I'm sure I would have CRIED!!!
