Game 7

•  The Cardinals crushed Harrison the last time around scoring 5 runs (3 earned) in just 3.2 innings...including 6 hits and a walk.  The Cardinals also showed signs of life in not grounding out every play (tho they got lucky on a couple of those groundballs that woulda been double plays).  Harrison who had pitched pretty well before playing the Cardinals, still only could go through 5 innings before being taken out...which plays nicely for the Cardinals who are hitting the Ranger's bullpen well right now.
• Carpenter is going to start for the Cardinals which is huge as we have already got a glimpse of what Carpenter can do in a Game 7 (even tho it was Game 5) against the Phillies.  The Cardinals are 4-1 this postseason when Carpenter starts with their one loss being when Carpenter pitched 7 innings and only allowed 2 runs (the 1-12 with risp game)...and I would hate to imagine another game where the Cardinals do so poorly with risp.  
• This game seems to look good for the Cardinals, but you have to keep in mind that Carpenter is only on 3 days rest (though he at least has some experience with that now) which could play out a little differently than if he was at normal rest.  Also the game is going to come down to whether or not the Cardinals can hit the Ranger's bullpen and after last night's game it looks as though Texas is going to have bullpen struggles with so much on the line.  
• My prediction is that the Cardinals carry the momentum from yesterday in to today, and that Harrison gets to watch as the Cardinals romp all over Texas again.  Carpenter is going to be stellar and make himself a case to go down as one of the most dominant clutch starting pitchers a team could ask for.  Its hard to say this for a Game 7...but I believe that the Cardinals are going to be able to take this one pretty easily.
