HBT: Game 6 Goes from Ugly to Thriller
Five errors. Two wild pitches. The most obviously foreshadowed bunt into a double play in big-league history. The Cardinals scored in the ninth, 10th and 11th innings to beat the Rangers 10-9 and send the World Series to a Game 7, but it wasn't exactly a classic.

Week 8 Picks: Eagles-Cowboys a Tough Call
