The Cards spotted Roy Oswalt a first-inning lead, but it didn’t matter as the irrepressible Redbirds pulled out yet another comeback win. This time it was hometown hero David Freese leading the charge with four RBIs in a 5-3 win at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals evened their National League Division Series with the Phillies at two games apiece, with a deciding fifth game in Philadelphia on Friday.
...
The St. Louis native drilled a two-run double to put the Cardinals ahead in the fourth inning, and added a massive two-run homer in the sixth for some welcome insurance.

I didn't see the squirrel in any of those....
but seriously, nice work. You must have a kickass lens on whatever it is you're using...
I snagged a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS for 'only' 1400 and change back in January 2009 when the world economy was in shambles. The same lens now runs over 2 grand.
That's some kick-ass photography. Nicely done.
There was a song in the 1970s by the "Southern rock" band Lynyrd Skynyrd called "Free Bird" that was a huge hit. It was a live version and at the outset the vocalist asks the crowd, "What song is it you wanna hear?" and they answer in unison, "FREE BIRD!!" So "Free Bird" has since become a sort of catch phrase, often used to facetiously make a song request. Apparently, its ubiquity as a catch phrase is waning...
The apostrophe is because the writer has contracted Redbirds to 'birds. I don't think the apostrophe is necessary.
And is it hard to keep a lens that long steady, or does the lens itself take care of all that?
The photography is the real story here.

It has a generic grey squirrel picture, so something like pic 23 would really help tell the story.
