The way this game ended may be the proverbial "stake in the heart" for the Cardinals. A tough way to lose. Their backs are against the wall for sure.

Hard to catch the ball if you can't see it whether it was the lights or the towels. Holliday is one of the top 10 or 15 players in the game. Franklin should have regrouped and not blown the save or better yet LaRussa should have left Wainwright in to finish.

^ oh, I know ... and I HATE the way that we are so EAGER to label "goats" in sports.
I was frustratingly suggesting that Franklin should not endure all of the blame.
