2011 World Series: Rangers @ Cardinals

[d-money]

Nice start by Garcia.Yikes.This series is over.

[d-money]

Need the double play here and limit the damage.

[d-money]

Lets see how the cardinals respond.Furcal and Jay have had a horrible series.

[d-money]

Garcia blows tonight!!!Start warming up the pen.

[jung]

Initially talking heads talking about a tough time getting the ball to go anywhere tonight because of the cold....sort of like my golf days in the cold. So far though both teams seem to be knocking it all over the place. Neither pitcher is hitting his spots. Both leaving the ball up and very hittable.

 

Wonder which manager will crack first...probably Larussa since he has to have this game.

[d-money]

Big inning come up for Garcia.Larussa needs to have a quick hook.

[Reck]

Garcia has nothing. If the Cards want to seriously win this game LaRussa will take this guy off the mound.

 

Lucky double play there.

[jung]

Best half inning of pitching for the Cards so far. Looks like Garcia is settling a bit. Boy if he is up in the zone at all it is death for him. Some guys can get away with being up in the zone a little but but his ball seems to be flat when it is up as well.

[d-money]

Why is Larussa batting Furcal leadoff?I would bat him 8.Right now he stinks!

[d-money]

Pujols missed that.Damn.

[jung]

I really don't know what Furcal is doing up there. This has not been Larussa's best series.

 

Geez Buck and McCarver are like chalk on a blackboard.

 

McCarver "the shortstop has a lot to do in a short period of time to turn the DP". Pearls of wisdom.

[d-money]

Wow.He's going to Salas already?I thought he would give Garcia a break.I question this move.

[Reck]

Wow so much fail.

 

I hope the Rangers score at least 10 to put them out of their misery.

[jung]

Garcia had just come off his best inning. Granted Texas had a bunch of base runners early but Garcia is not a SO pitcher. He is a ground ball pitcher and he was progressively getting more of those.

 

What a screw up in left field. That looked pretty bush league.

[Reck]

There you go.

 

Nighty night Cardinals. Till next season.

[d-money]

That was Holliday's ball to catch.The guy has been terrible in this series.

[d-money]

LMAO at the cardinals.Self imploding.Throw the baseball to first base!!!!!

[jung]

Geez I hope it does not end like this. I would like to see the Rangers win it and in seven if possible. there is little to compare to 7th game of a world series. Don't want to see the Cards stumble and bumble it away. Cards and Rangers deserve better than that.

 

Somebody should check to see what they are putting in Larussa's coffee these days.

 

Napoli should be OK

 

That was Holliday's ball...you are right. Worse than that Holliday was trotting around out there telling Furcal to take it...what!!!!

[d-money]

They need a double play here badly.

[jung]

Hey I just noticed Larussa got a hair cut today. Hows that workin' for ya' Tony?

[d-money]

Lets see if the cardinals have any fight.Its only 1 run.

[jung]

Gotta give Lewis credit...he is pitching pretty well....Wash too for that matter as he continues to out-manage Larussa I think.

[d-money]

Cardinals just havent gotten that big hit after game 3.They leave runners in scoring position left and right on.

[jung]

I know they left something like 12 guys on in game 5...what did I just see....my God what the hell is happening out there....Freeze just plain dropped it.

[User Name]

Cardinals doing their absolute best to lose this game.

[jung]

Wow...I want the Rangers to be the eventual winners here but Geez I don't ever want to see a WS going down this road...brings back too many bad memories for one thing.

 

Still not sure I would have taken out Garcia in that exact spot either.

[jung]

First mistake by Wash this game

 

Rested pen...can't really think you can leave Lewis in that long since you are already to the 5th and you give up on bases loaded, two out! Runners would have been going on any hit ball. They could have had two runs if not three on a base hit. Don't like that move.

[User Name]

Agree. Lewis should not taken that AB.

[d-money]

Washinton didnt bring in a pinch hitter.I was surprise at that one.

[d-money]

Yep, agree with u fellas.WTF was that.
