[acruce]

Whats your thoughts? I think Rangers will win in 6.

Nolan, is that you? :D

[acruce]

Nolan, is that you? :D

What can I say.......:D

[688sonarmen]

We will see.

[jledou]

Hmmm it's almost like we've seen this one before :)

I am going to say Cards in 5.

[SteelCityBoy]

Hate to say it but Cards in 6. They are on a tear right now. Reminds me of the Packers from last year. Hard to beat a team that feels like it's their destiny to win it all.

[Mattso3000]

My money's on the Rangers. Literally.

[CigarSquid]

Rangers, Not sure what game.. But Rangers!

[Jasonw560]

Hard to beat a team that feels like it's their destiny to win it all.

Kinda like the Patriots who had the perfect season back in 2007? When the Giants blanked them 19-0 in the Super Bowl?

Both teams are on a tear. Cruz is a beast, Michael Young has found his swing. If Hamilton gets hot, watch out. Not a bad bat in the bunch.

If CJ is on, Rangers in 5.

If CJ is off, Rangers in 6.

[kelmac07]

While the Cards are hot right now...the Rangers offense is just too strong. Rangers in 6.

[icehog3]

I'm rooting for the National League team, whos name I will not let pass my lips.

Aww come on Tom.... Goooo Cuuu er Cards!

[icehog3]

Aww come on Tom.... Goooo Cuuu er Cards!

Red pigeons?

[N2 GOLD]

Card's in five... :2 -(P

[688sonarmen]

Cards win!:noon

[TheTraveler]

Cards in 7.





Or 6, or 5 or even 4. Just please don't let the Rangers win it. :D

[larryinlc]

This was really a good game. Since I have no team involved, I can sit back, relax and enjoy them play without being a nervous wreck. I hope it goes to 7 with nothing but 1 run games and a couple going into extra innings.:)

Larry

[Jasonw560]

Rangers in 6.

[icehog3]

Rangers in 4.

[SMITTY66]

I think its the rangers...the only reason the cardinals won tonight was because carpenter pitched and they were at home. Thats just my opinion...

[688sonarmen]

Rangers in 4.

1+3= :hm

:D

[kelmac07]

Great game last night.

[icehog3]

1+3= :hm

:D

You are right, Jake, I am so dumb.

Rangers in 3. :D

[acruce]

Rangers got out managed by the Cardinals last night. Can't wait for game two!

[icehog3]

On TV, 2nd lowest rated Game 1 since 1987. Apparently not too many people outside of North Texas and Missouri give a crap. :r

[Mutombo]

Cardinals in 6!! (I'm biased)

Everyone else is missing some good baseball..:2

[688sonarmen]

Well, crap.

[CigarSquid]

Way to come back Rangers!!!!

[acruce]

Wow! Rangers back in the drivers seat with that win!!!:noon

[TonySmith]

Good win for Texas. It would have been tough going home down two. Yeah!!

[Ashcan Bill]

I was falling asleep until the 9th. Sure glad there was a payoff. Maybe the bats on both teams will warm up in Texas. :ss

[icehog3]

Everyone else is missing some good baseball..:2

Gotta agree as much as I don't want too, that was a helluva Game 2.

[acruce]

Gotta agree as much as I don't want too, that was a helluva Game 2.

Both games were nail biters...I am glad the next three are at our house..

[688sonarmen]

Wow! What an amazing game tonight in Texas. Aside from the jerk who threw a ball on the field in the 5th Rangers fans are classy. Can't say the same for many other clubs.

In Chicago, they catch the balls that should be in play. :r

3 homers for Albert.....wow. :tu

[acruce]

That was ugly...

[kelmac07]

Amazing night by Pujols this evening. WOW!!!

[CigarSquid]

I think this is a good series. Also, way to go Texas Rangers!

[688sonarmen]

I think this is a good series. Also, way to go Texas Rangers!

I have to agree. Great pitching by Holland last night.

[kelmac07]

Holland was lights out last night.

[elderboy02]

Glad to see Texas win last night :)

Screw the Cardinals.

[688sonarmen]

:r Hey, I gotta side with my boy Brandon Phillips.

[chippewastud79]

:r Hey, I gotta side with my boy Brandon Phillips.

Brandon Phillips is sitting at home, while the second best team, in the worst division in baseball, is playing in the World Series. ;)

[688sonarmen]

Totally understand the Holland kid pitched an amazing game last night. Good, no GREAT job. The 15 min is up, please get his retarded ass off the camera and play ball already!

[TonySmith]

haha, I agree.

Rangers have got to stop stranding runners, and please field the ball!!

[elderboy02]

Nice win by the Rangers :tu

[jsnake]

St. Louis failed tonight. Disappointing. Why does it seem like every sports team I cheer for loses? You guys want to see a team lose just PM me who and I will watch, cheer, and guarantee that team will lose.

The nights I haven't watched the World Series, St. Louis wins. I am not watching the last two games.

Please watch. Paint yourself red with he STL logo in navy blue on your chest, jump up and down like a maniac, and yell every time Allen Craig and Pujols come to the plate.

[TBone]

Great win by Texas tonight...go american league

[kelmac07]

Cardinals left WAY too many men on base last night.

[CigarSquid]

Go Texas!

[elderboy02]

Brandon Phillips was right when he said that the Cardinals are bit**es. Carpenter complained in Cincy that the smoke from the fireworks got in his eyes and the mound wasn't groomed right, Arroyo was supposedly cheating with pine tar on his hat, the balls weren't rubbed right, they didn't want to play in the big bad rain... blah blah blah.

Last night LaRussa was blaming the crowd for making too much noise as the reason for the bullpen mixup.

Give it a break Cardinals!

[CigarSquid]

To much noise? That is what fans do and is why you have 'home field advantage'

[elderboy02]

LaRussa would rather have it as quiet as a library.

Re-****-ulous

[Starscream]

This has been a good WS. I think it's gonna go to game seven.

[Jasonw560]

This has been a good WS. I think it's gonna go to game seven.

Depending on how well Lewis pitches, it could.

[kelmac07]

Rangers wrap it up tonight. :D

[Killian]

Have they called it yet? Weather isn't looking to great for tonight. I thought decision was going to be made early.

[acruce]

Yes the game has been postponed. Game 6 will be Thursday night.

[The Poet]

Well, here's one reason for me to pull for Tejas Thursday. If it goes to Game 7, Fox will lose ratings by showing the game instead of Fringe. :r

[kelmac07]

Rainout...BOOOOOO!!!! :td

[acruce]

Rainout...BOOOOOO!!!! :td

I am ok with waiting one more day. I wouldn't want rain delays to factore in a close out game.

[688sonarmen]

Gametime:banger

[Tallman]

Wearing my Cardinals sweatshirt smoking a Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial...

Go Redbirds!!!!

[acruce]

Errors are hurting the Cardinals:D

[themoneycollector]

That and Rangers pitching.

They've allowed 4 runs on only 3 hits. Puts so much pressure on Rangers batters.

Nervous 6th. Great game so far.

[elderboy02]

This has been a fun game to watch so far!

[elderboy02]

If the Cardinals lose, who will they blame tonight for the loss?

[icehog3]

Cards blew a big chance in the 8th.

[icehog3]

But not in the 9th. WOW! Just WOW!

[icehog3]

Josh Hamilton! WOW!

[Ashcan Bill]

Tonight's game is simply amazing! 11th here we come.

[themoneycollector]

Wow, Rangers fielding missed those big 3rd outs. One big double in the 9th even though they played very deep. And now they missed the out in the 10th for playing too deep.

[acruce]

What a crazy game

[themoneycollector]

WTH was Washington thinking playing German instead of just sticking with Feldman at bat?

[themoneycollector]

That will be the game losing decision. That, and the umps being way too tight on the Rangers pitching.

[688sonarmen]

SO WHAT! What are you going to say now! Game 7 thats what!:banger:banger:banger

[688sonarmen]

If the Cardinals lose, who will they blame tonight for the loss?

Nice keep hating brother, all the way to game 7:tu

[icehog3]

I was rooting for the Rangers, but that might be the greatest baseball game I ever watched.

[Lanks85]

EPIC Game!

[elderboy02]

I agree!

[GreekGodX]

Red Pigeons :wo

[chaase321]

Wow...I can't believe that game! This is a great series...even if there are 700 runs!

[jledou]

Any predictions on score tonight? I say 24-21 Cards ;)

[chaase321]

Any predictions on score tonight? I say 24-21 Cards ;)

AT LEAST! It's game 7, everybody be hitting dingers tonight! lol

[kelmac07]

Damn...what a game. Talk about ups and downs. Rangers blew a HUGE chance for their first World Series title.

[icehog3]

Cards are reminding me of the '69 Mets right now, Mac.

[Killian]

Unbelievable! Down to the last strike twice and somehow survive.
Have to say I'm not a big fan of starting Carp on short rest tonight. But then again, he is our horse. Should be another fun one. 24-21 is probably about right. As much as I hate to say it, I hope all of the Rangers are healthy so we can beat their best...okay maybe not Napoli.
Go Cards! 11 in 11!

[kelmac07]

Cards are reminding me of the '69 Mets right now, Mac.

:tu :tu

[chippewastud79]

Reds fans have to, when its been 15+ years since they have even won a playoff game. ;)

[357]

Damn...what a game. Talk about ups and downs. Rangers blew a HUGE chance for their first World Series title.

Texas wins the series if Cruz comes up with Freese's flyball in the bottom of the 9th. I can't believe he missed that. Not an easy play but he should have had it.

[chippewastud79]

Why is Nelson Cruz still playing defense in the bottom of the 9th with a 2 run lead?:hm

[Starscream]

Awesome game last night. Error-filled and sloppy, but epic.

[themoneycollector]

Gotta give credit where it's due.

I'm realizing a big factor in this series has been Mark McGwire as the cards hitting coach. They are not swinging for any junk pitches and really making every at-bat count.

[CigarSquid]

Cards are playing the better ball right now.









Go Texas!

[themoneycollector]

Wilson sucks!

I hope the Rangers let the Yankees overpay for him in FA and instead invest in someone like Pujols or Fielder. They will get so much more for their money.

[Jasonw560]

I say get a good FA pitcher. Duchscherer comes to mind. Trade for another one or two.

And pay Napoli big bucks to stay. Great asset.

[acruce]

Hats off to the Cardinals . It was a great series.

[Jasonw560]

[chippewastud79]

Well done Cardinals :tu

[icehog3]

Congrats to the Comeback Kids and their fans.

This...man what a run for the Cards :tu

[kelmac07]

Congrats to the Cardinals and their fans. :D

[qwerty1500]

Hats off to the Rangers too. Their team and fans are a class act. It was a great series.

[elderboy02]

Congrats to the Cardinals fans.

Larussa killed me though when he said that Molina was the best catcher to play the game. :confused: Johnny Bench is the best.

[icehog3]

"Best" is opinion, and apparently that's Tony's opinion.

For the record, I think Bench was better as well.

[chippewastud79]

Congrats to the Cardinals fans.

Larussa killed me though when he said that Molina was the best catcher to play the game. :confused: Johnny Bench is the best.

LaRussa will likely pick a player who just won a World Series for his team. LaRussa is a homer, kind of like Reds fans. And Johnny Bench is great, but there is a debate whether he is the best of all-time too. Yogi Berra was pretty daggum good and lest we forget Mike Piazza is in the discussion as well. ;)

[chippewastud79]

Larussa killed me though when he said that Molina was the best catcher to play the game. :confused: Johnny Bench is the best.

There are certain people in the Reds organization who will claim that Jay Bruce is the best outfielder in baseball and Stubbs is the fastest player in the MLB. :r :td :hm :confused:
