Sunday in St. Louis had a festive feel and was supposed to be about a coronation of Cardinals stars, the formal feting of Adam Wainwright, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina in their final regular-season home game.
Apparently, nobody told the Pirates.
With an occurrence that feels about as frequent as Halley's Comet when you consider how this series has gone over the past handful of years, with the Cardinals winning 24 of the past 34 between the teams, the Pirates got a couple of clutch hits and roughed up Wainwright during a 7-5 victory at Busch Stadium, salvaging the final game of this series.
