I'm sure that today much will be made of Matt Holliday's high, late slide into Giants' Marco Scutaro.
Was it dirty?
Maybe.
But I know for sure that what goes around comes around, and Holliday's error in the 4th truly came around in the form of Angel Pagan scoring the 3rd run on a bases loaded single by Scutero.

Before that play the Giants were up 2-1.
After, it was 5-1, Chris Carpenter was done and so were the Cards.
Nice.
And I was reminded of other Holliday Treats from playoff games in the past.
Remember when, playing for the Rockies vs the Red Sox in the '07 WS, he got picked off first by Jonathan Papelbon?

...
Or as a Cardinal, vs. the Dodgers in the '09 playoffs, when his 9th inning dropped ball allowed the Dodgers to come back to win 3-2 and go on to knock the Cards out?
It was that James Loney liner that confused the outfielder into thinking he was a goalie...

Anyway, the Giants cream the Cards 7-1 to tie the series which will continue on Wednesday night in St. Louis.
Long way to go, but at the end it might be nice to look back on Holliday's slide as not just a hard play intended to inspire the Cardinals, but rather the karma slide that inspired the Giants.
Go Karma!!
