Over/under on the amount of strikes Pujols sees tonight.

 

I'm going with "2" just to be generous.

Any thoughts you might have that you've actually won this are of your own delusions, the best part of you rolled down your mother's leg.

Took you that long to find a bad macro?

 

Keep burying yourself.

Over, just because I don't think they intentionally walk him every time up.

Great job by Zoey, W and Ryan! Nice start.

 

WIN RANGERS!!!

[Reck]

That did not take long.

 

Lets see how long it takes LaRussa to give Jackson the hook.

Yadi is an every day lesson in why it pays in baseball to be strong up the middle and why the most important aspect of defensive strength up the middle is the catcher.

 

Yadi gets a ball in the dirt that pulls him toward first base and turns that into a pick of Kinsler playing the role of fly to Yadi's venus fly trap. When you have that much field awareness at catcher it rubs off on the rest of the defense. How oblivious would it look for a 1st or 3rd baseman to be out of position when Yadi wants to make one of those quick release throws of his.

 

In our case, ball in the dirt like that, we are just hoping the thing does not bounce up and decapitate Salty. That is about what the other defenders are thinkin' and for that matter that is likely what Salty is thinkin'.

Molina catching: Geez I better be ready. Yadi might toss that thing down here anytime

Salty catching: Geez I better be ready. I might have to run in and resuscitate our catcher after he gets clonked in the adams apple by a pitch.

Alright LaRussa. Time to take this fool off the mound.

Wow, Holland has been on the black with everything tonight.

I wonder, after the WS is over, if Sox fans rooting for the losing team are going to blame Theo Epstein for the loss.

[jung]

Thank God we have a close competitive WS to watch. There is always so much tension in these tight low scoring games. They always seem more exciting to me even than close slugfests. You are always expecting the close slugfest to get blown open at some point and you end up at 12-8 or something like that.

 

Really impressed with the way Holland stepped up tonight.

 

That said, Texas has a real test ahead of it in beating Carpenter in game 5. They would be in a real hole down 3-2 going back to St. Louis for the last two games.

[jung]

It will be an interesting night to see how the ratings battle works out between WS and MNF. Football teams not all that interesting and the WS is tied at 2-2 with Carpenter going for Cards. WS will probably still have a hard time with MNF.

Mikey Lowell on MLB Network pre game! Love it!!

 

WIN RANGERS!!

[jung]

Really hope we get a great game tonight. Wilson against Carpenter at least looks like it should be fun to watch. Wilson has much to make up for this post season. I hate to see young guys just blow away post season opportunities. I hope he does well.

I'm with you. Hope to see Wilson step it up. He's more than capable.

[VA Sox Fan]

It'd be nice if FOX could manage to put together a decent scoreboard like NESN or YES (I know, but have to give credit...blah blah blah).

[redsoxrules]

CJ has been complete s*** in these playoffs , I hope he turns it around quick

[jung]

Geez Wilson looks uncomfortable so far. His front foot is landing all over the place. The rest of the Rangers are not looking like they are playing free and easy either as they have got an early case of "hands of stone". Can't give Carpenter too many runs.

[VA Sox Fan]

Sweet catch by Murphy. A little redemption.

 

OFFENSE!

[jung]

Even though it is early in the game, this could be an important half inning for CJ. Carpenter is settling in nicely, and the home plate ump is seeing his pitches.

 

CJ needs to settle down. He looks like he swallowed a bee hive. A 1-2-3 half could really go a long way to settling the whole squad. Not sure why they have come out so tight. Wonder if Mr. "Doin the Wash" made the mistake of a pre-game speech.

 

Corrected my own error. I constantly call him TJ.

[VA Sox Fan]

Jeez CJ. Tough play but...damn.

[jung]

Man I don't like the way CJ is throwing the ball.

 

What the hell are they doin' this Holland as announcer thing for? Fox is really something.

 

Thank God for the DP.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice DP!!

 

Kinda diggin' Holland's interview. LOL.

[jung]

I can't hear Holland. I can't tell if he is just goofin' or what he is doin'.

[jung]

That auughta' loosen' em' up some. Dinger Moreland!

He was doing a normal interview and then doing impersonations of Wash, etc.

 

Nice JACK Moreland!!!! oops

 

2-1

 

Come on Elvis!

Thanks! I have too much ambient noise in the center channel for some reason and he is getting drowned out by it. Happens every once and awhile around here on the HD channels.
