The Last Game Of The Season - GAME SEVEN!
by baseballgirl on Oct 28, 2011 4:30 PM PDT
Email
PrintWell, no matter what happens today, this is it; the last baseball game of the season. The Cardinals are favored; they have homefield advantage, all the momentum from last night's dramatic come-from-behind (twice!) win, and have Chris Carpenter on the mound. They also have the added bonus of Matt Holliday sitting this one out. (Cruz and Napoli are going to try it for the Rangers, even with both of their injuries.) Matt Harrison will start for the Rangers. And we have our first Game Seven in nine years; yay!
This has been an incredible series; a lot to analyze, a lot to critique, and a lot to cheer for. Let's hope the very last game lives up to the series.
Lineups: (and a HUGE thank you to BaseballPress for being there with lineups all year long, so I don't have to type them in. You're the best!)
LET'S GO GAME SEVEN!

Let's go, Game Seven!
Seven-game series are nerve-wracking for the home team fans — except for the ones who were lucky enough to get tickets for Game 7 and don’t know if they’re going to get to use them. For the rest of us, it’s pure postseason pleasure!

there’s something about the playoffs theme song that gets xmas music stuck in my head. i think it’s a few notes somewhere in there that remind me of the “giddy up, giddy up, let’s go” in sleigh ride, and my jukebox-mind takes it from there.

Speaking of the bridge
There’s a whole crop of Twitter accounts by people pretending to be landmarks. I started following the one that’s supposed to be the Bay Bridge because it’s pretty funny. In return, I got an email yesterday saying “The Bay Bridge is now following you”. That’s a scary idea somehow.

that's a pretty vigorous bat flip for a guy who did nothing but just stand there with a bat on his shoulder
Feldman did all the work.
he didn't have to foul anything off
He did nothing defensive. All he had to do was just freeze.
And he did it, I can’t deny that.
But that was all pitcher.
Yes, it is, but not completely.
Lawyerball is that you keep working the pitcher until you get the pitch you can hit. Take anything outside, even a hair, but foul off anything in the zone that you just can’t hit well.
He didn’t get 3 pitches in the zone, he just had to sit there and watch them go by.
It’s part of lawyerball, no lie. But even a non-litigious batter could have worked that walk too, just by taking everything.
So that’s Lawyerball, but I guess I’m saying it isn’t the hardest part of Lawyerball.
Sorry about that “That” down there, I had a massive browser electron spill.

Stick a fork in them
Forget all Cruz’s homers. Its the failed catch that cost them
He gets the goat award along with The Texas Bullpen. Oliver leading the way with 2 failing to get the 2 lefties out
Exactly. The brother of Bengie Jose and Jose Benjamin is chasing his second ring.

Did that stat say Freese had 21 postseason RBI? That is IMPRESSIVE.

BtBS noted that his WPA for game six was the highest single-game postseason total EVER.
Yes, more than Reggie or youknowwho, or anyone.
the yankees were gonna win that game 6 regardless

I just came in to say howdy to you guys
and to describe the feeling of giddy, warm happiness I am filled with at the idea of CJ Wilson not winning a WS ring when his team was a strike away from winning one.

threads to get a healthy dose of CJfraude….the game wrap thread from last night may have singlehandedly put years back on my life just from the streams of endless laughter.

LOL from Wikipedia
On October 19th, 2011, Layne was the plate umpire when Adrian Beltre nicked a ball off of his foot to St.Louis Cardinals third basemen David Freese in Game 1 of the 2011 World Series, which, by rule, is a dead ball. Layne ruled that Beltre was not touched by the ball and play continued, despite Beltre hopping around home plate as if in pain. Infrared replays showed that the ball appeared to have narrowly clipped Beltre’s foot and that the ball should have been called foul or dead by virtue of batter’s interference. Layne inspected the ball after Rangers manager Ron Washington argued the call; however Layne did not see any scuff from Beltre’s shoe and upheld his original call.
On October 28, 2011, Layne was the plate umpire for Game 7 of the 2011 World Series. During the game when Scott Feldman threw a clear strike 3 to Yadier Molina, Layne called the strike a ball and brought the runner from third to home plate . This Egregious call proved that Layne is an Anti-Semite.

Three more outs!
I want the Rangers to lose. But I don’t want the season to be over.

for anyone not checking fangraphs, Rangers were 95.9% likely to win in the 9th with 2 out yesterday.
I am probably a little late but lmao
@devonkai I saw a crack head doing “The Wash” today. Coincidence? I think not…

What a choke job
The Rangers have nobody to blame but themselves. They blew game 6 in epic fashion. No surprise they lost tonight.
I was thinking the same. As much as I hate TEX, I like Wash, and I have a lot of respect for what Hamilton has overcome. Even if he is a nemesis.
But I understand the intended humor in that statement.

Oh I do too....just don't like the negativity in the physical universe. in general.

Wishing someone fall of the wagon?
How about you are under the wagon when he falls off.
I have a friend in the hospital who fell off the wagon and
got hooked on opiates and ran out of pills and started drinking 3 days straight. He then drank antifreeze and is lucky his kidneys are still working.
He is on a psych hold for 3 days.
Now it’s all his fault as I told him what a dumbass he is and that it won’t be the last time as he keeps thinking he can beat the problem.
I quit cold turkey 13 years ago after throwing up blood and was doing 30 vicodins a day along with valium and xanax. I quit and was sick for 30 days, no detox or nothing. To this day, I watch people drink and do drugs and it does not bother me. I have no craving and could care less. I surrendered.
Josh Hamilton has had a relapse or two because he is not lucky enough to 100 percent accept and surrender.
Thanks
I used to go to AA but stopped. Not knocking it at all as I met many good people there.
People tried to get me to go to AA years before I quit but I said I would not go until I was prepared to stop. Typical Kiwi who binge drink on weekend but then I found a roomy who was on pain meds and gave me vicodins for a hangover one day. He said I bet you cannot stop drinking. I did for two months but got hooked on the pills. Had I not got hooked on pills, I would probably still be getting shitfaced on weekends and winning pool tournaments.
I don't
There is nothing humorous about that statement whatsoever.

I saw a station wagon I want to get. Possibly an Official AN Tailgate Vehicle for 2012.

I have a Cadillac CTS wagon
It’s great. No actual tailgate on it though. Wagons are all hatchbacks now.
Those are excellent! They just need to drop that V engine in there.
I’m waiting on the SRX (V8) prices to drop. Those are nice.
by player20 on Oct 28, 2011 9:00 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Is that a cadillac? I wish I could afford an RDX but it's gonna be awhile
AN Tailgate = Euphemism for food porn.
Those I have never seen. (Until now.) But the images on Bing look very nice. And a turbo!
by player20 on Oct 28, 2011 9:06 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
It's available now. I've seen them on the road.
Wasn’t available when I got mine though. I don’t think I would have gotten it anyway.
The wagon is identical V or non-V from the rear (down to the tailpipes), but the -V of course gets the -V front. I don’t like the -V front as much on the wagon as the non-V front but I’d put up with it to get the 556HP (and a stick!).
My neighbor has an SRX V8. It honestly isn’t as pretty as my car, the proportions are a bit off.
$1800! Maybe next month...
I’ve been chasing wagons for 10 years now. This may be the one. It’s my “golden fleece.”

I wonder if La Russa will send him a ring
TLR’s an asshole, so I wouldn’t put it past him.
I don't feel that I'm feeling your feelings, about these feelings that you feel.
Fucking LaRussa
Can’t win with one of the 5 best teams of all time but can win 2 bullshit titles in St Louis with the 2 worst World Series champs ever.
I like living in a world where Texas has lost back-to-back championships through their own fantastic knack for failure.
It’s a nice world.
"This must be heaven," he says.

And now, I'm ready for the "Do You Know The Way To SJ Stadium" announcement
Followed by a great Hot Stove winter, and then…
Oakland A’s Spring Training BASEBALL!!!!!
