2011 World Series: Rangers @ Cardinals

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The Rangers had it in their hand. They better come up with some big hits in extra innings. That would really suck if they lost this game.

[Emmz]

I wonder if Nolan Ryan could still take Robin Ventura.

[Station 13]

We better sign Papelbon

 

Texas is a team that will in the market for papelbon.

This is why a steady closer is so important. Every Feliz save is like playing hot potato with a ticking time bomb, and he finally screwed up, and at what time!

[Emmz]

I love this kind of stuff, especially when I'm non-partisan and can appreciate it regardless of the outcome. Sort of want Texas to get their title though.

I have noticed lately that this seems to be a new plague with the modern ball player. Happens on foul balls, long balls....all over the place. Find the warning path....find the wall....find the ball. More and more these guys seem to be putting themselves in positions where they find everything all at the same time.

 

Cruz did play that like a hand grenade but he had time to play it. Imagine how unexciting that would have been with Dewey Evans out there?

I don't understand this argument. Papelbon blew a season-ending save in 2011 and in 2009. He's not clutch anymore.

+1

 

I'd like to watch RS games with this calm but it is just impossible.

 

BTW... Hamilton!

[a700hitter]

This is a wild game. Wow!

Not "clutch". Whatever.

 

Ask Carl Crawford why he didn't come up with that ball. Papelbon was one of the best closers in the league last year, no way to argue that.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Well, that was anticlimatic

IMO, I dont see a better closer than him in the 2012 market.

Dewey either would have gotten a good jump on that ball and caught it without running into the wall, or he would have decided to play the carom and the second runner would not have scored. Most likely, he would have caught the ball.

 

I think Washington is nuts to have gone to Oliver here.

[jung]

That was the one place where Hamilton could hurt them with that bad groin of his.

 

I am reminded of the ALCS between Yankees and Mariners where at the end of games 5 and 6 Yanks pitching coach was going to the mound almost every batter to instruct the pitcher telling him exactly what he wanted done with that particular hitter. If Motte had put the ball anywhere else, I don't think Hamilton could have jacked it.

[Youk Of The Nation]

And here we go again maybe?

[iortiz]

This is a wild game. Wow!

 

This Is why I love baseball... Whata game...

 

This far to be over ladies and gentlemen.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm surprised Tony LaRussa doesn't just keep sending Albert Pujols up to bat in a variety of disguises. Though I suppose he'd run out of pinch runners pretty quickly.

[Youk Of The Nation]

...Kyle...Lohse?

[a700hitter]

How many pitches did Feliz throw? I would have left him in to pitch the 10th.

[Palodios]

Not "clutch". Whatever.

When it mattered most, Papelbon did not record a save. I'd rather sign five guys like Dan Wheeler than get one Papelbon.

[SoxSport]

LaRussa bunting. Anti-Beanball.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

This game is the definition of why I love this sport.

Good for you bro.

[SoxSport]

Would Tito have bunted here?

[jacksonianmarch]

What a game, I hope the cards pull this out so we can watch a 7th game
