PrintGame six of the [yawn] St. Louis [yawn] Cardinals versus [yawn] the Texas Rang....zzzzzzzz
EDGE. OF. MY. SEAT.
I've come to terms with it if the FRS win. I will be happy for Wash. I love Wash. I forget how much I love Wash, til I start thinking about him. I love Wash.
But...TLR can do no wrong in my book, either, so...you know, whatever.
I keep thinking a World Series victory will turn Texas into Anaheim, but the reality is that they're already Anaheim, World Series or no.
Cheeseboy goes against the rookie again. This ended poorly for the Cards last time. Let's see if we can make it to seven...
Lineups from Susan Slusser. And she arranged them so neatly, too! Thanks, Susan!
8:05pm Rangers (C. Lewis - R) @ Cardinals (J. Garcia - L)
By the way, Susan was elected Vice President of the Baseball Writers Association of America, and the way it works is that she will rotate into being the President in 2012, meaning she's in charge. She was already in charge in my book, but this will make it official. If you see her, tell her congratulations. She's....kind of a big deal. Plus, she still has time to make lineups for us. She. Rocks. We love her.

There will be plenty of time to sleep when the season is over, Bloom.
There’s a program that comes on frequently during the week that puts me to sleep. I believe it’s called “football”.

Baseball is better than football, but this is the equivalent of watching like Houston and Arizona play.

Bloom, when I was a salesman at Sears, I would watch the Astros and Expos play if they were on.

Someone recently pointed out that the baseball playoff contract was up for renewal soon,
and it figured to be competitive. Maybe we can get baseball away from Fox….

was he really out? thought his had might have made it in before the tag. the view up the 3rd baseline is blocked.
AN Tailgate = Euphemism for food porn.
it was iffy. when you could see the hand touching the bag, you couldn’t see the glove on his back. after that view from the outfield, and because it showed that the matt’s right hand was blocked by the foot, so that he had to use his left hand to reach the base, i can be persuaded that it would take too long to do that and he must have been tagged in time.

2nd and 3rd, one out
Theriot up. Lohse sacrificed to SS, out 6-4 (Kinsler covered 1B).

Late to the party, and sure this has been covered
but the managing in this series is beyond bad.
Not sure if this was a mistake too because I might have missed something, but is there some reason Feliz couldn’t pitch two innings. It’s the most important game of everybody’s careers, after all.
Seriously rooting for Wash and Texas (and the AL West) for what it’s worth.
Regarding Feliz, he couldn't pitch two innings because he couldn't throw a farking strike

This game is probably best for (relatively) impartial fans.
Not as many heart attacks.
Seriously, if I were a Rangers fan, I think by this point I’d be huddled in a corner behind the couch, peeking out at the TV every 5 seconds or so, and…

I can’t imagine what it would be to give up two two-run leads with the World Series title on the line. I’m very glad to not be them right now.
Going for their first title ever too.

Carpenter has thrown 10,000 innings this year
So which is it, does he shut them down or give up 5 runs in the first two innings
He led the NL with 237, plus the post-season.
He’s only ever once pitched on 3-days rest and he wasn’t very effective. So it’s no slam dunk that he’ll pitch well if he does pitch. I’d start Lohse and have Carpenter ready early if Lohse looks ragged. It’s not like Lohse will be matched up against an ace; he just has to be as good as Matt Harrison.

Tragic
I’m not even a Ranger’s fan and this is too painful. How unimaginably horrible to be a Rangers fan, player, coach, etc.
I can’t really remember anything worse than this in baseball. Can anybody think of something. Even the Giants in Game 6 didn’t experience this.
Yeah, thought of that after I wrote it
This is #2. No question.
I don't think so
Given the Red Sox history, and given that there were two outs and nobody on, and given the way that game ended.
Nothing. Worse. Ever.
Almost exactly a quarter century ago, too.

I don't know that I'd include Oliver or Feldman
Oliver gave up one liner and a flair. Feldman wasn’t good but he wasn’t epically bad like, say, MATT HOLLIDAY (dropped fly ball, picked off 3rd, 0 RBI in the series).

While I can't stand the rule
that uses the All-Star game to determine home field advantage in World Series, I do like that this year, these games are in St. Louis and Rangers don’t have home field is because of the big HR that CJ gave up in the All-Star game. That part is awesome.
