What a inning!

Marlins 4 Cardinals 5

Dear Redbirds,

The end of the first half was amazing.  I feel as though the comeback victory built team chemistry and general excitement for the second half.

I loved that team that came to bat in the bottom of the ninth-- that team refused to lose.  And they didn't.  I loved the way that you all worked the count-- Daniel Descalso's at-bat was particularly impressive, mostly because it was Daniel Descalso up there fouling off pitches. (Okay, that isn't fair.  He isn't on the same field as Tyler Greene, who would've just struck out in that situations.  Descalso is one of those tough-minded, young Cardinals who play ball and play it hard and play it right.)

Raffy's single plated the tying run and winning runs, he really needed that hit. I had fun watching him celebrate it.

David Freese avoided the tag by the Marlins catcher and scored the winning run.  I tell you, that guy always seems to be involved in all the exciting plays.
