I wonder if Matt Holliday will play tomorrow? Guy is probably in intensive care right now getting a blood transfusion. Hope he makes it.

He's off the roster for the game tonight. Replaced by Adron Chambers.GAMER.

Holliday's decision to choose baseball over football is looking smarter every day. To his credit, he did look like a football player when breaking up that double play in the 4th. That was serious. For Ranger fans watching (and drinking) there was a glimmer of hope he could be called for interference, considering his feet were pretty far from the base and he never touched it.

Not a call you can count on getting though. That's the way baseball go. Holliday did what he needed to do and it lead to a run. Good strong play by him.

If umps would tighten that up and call correctly and consistently, that would be illegal and middle infielders would have to actually tag the bag to get the out as well. There would still be plenty of great plays and breakup attempts, they'd just be AT THE BAG. I don't know, I guess the umps would just screw it all up anyway.

Geez. I was just taking a poke at how stupid that all-star rule is. I'm not a Ranger or Cards fan.

Oh bull####... there's still a glimmer of Card fan in you from 1982, 1985, (not 1986, that was a Mets year!) 1987......

:shrug; They trained locally. Went to 10 Cards games a year as a kid. I like em, but I didn't even high-five the dog when they scored last night.

Sounds like Sacamano "high-fived the dog"

what's new?

 

[Wooderson]

So has Hamilton been told who wins tonight ?

 

[thetman]

The fun begins...

 

[thetman]

Carpenter looks off, uh oh.

 

[thetman]

Get the pen ready. Carpenter looks awful!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Now I'm lookin' at

a flashback Sunday

zoom lens feelings

just won't disappear

Close-up darkroom

sweet talk in my ear

Her hot spot love

for me is strong

This freeze-frame

moment can't be wrong

 

[Leviathan]

You boys ready for another rollercoaster ride?

 

[thetman]

Home plate umpire is bad tonight. Strike zone is all over the place.

 

[coolnerd]

Get the pen ready. Carpenter looks awful!

Harrison has the look about him, so we maybe in for more of the same as last night.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Ian Kinsler /leaning

 

[thetman]

I don't think either sp gets past 5 ip. Bullpens will be used a lot obviously. Buckle up for a long game.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Walk off game seven homers or hits? Homers there has only been one.

Hits? 1912 World Series, the Marlins in 1997 and the Twins in 1991 come to mind. I'd guess there are around seven.

 

[Premier]

Just catching up.

Wow, Holliday replaced on the roster.

 

[thetman]

Joe Carter hr

 

[Eephus]

Joe Carter hr

wasn't game 7

 

[Bob Sacamano]

JFC does Kinsler ever make a freakin' out?

 

[thetman]

Carter wasn't game 7, oops

 

[whoknew]

Posnanski asked on twitter who the best Texas Rangers ever are.

@jposnanski - Unofficial results for best Ranger ever: 1. Pudge; 2. Nolan; 3. A-Rod; 4. Young; 5. Chuck Norris.

It should be Juan Gone not Nolan.

How that last pitch to Molina was not a strike is crazy?? Even FoxTrax shows it is???

 

[whoknew]

That run is on Washington.

 

[whoknew]

That run is on Washington.

That one is on CJ. But the first is on Wash.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So Ronny brings in the guy who has tied a major league record for postseason walks in a bases loaded situation?

oof

 

[Bob Sacamano]

BobSac>hi

'sup, GB?

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Sad for Texas. Glad for STL

 

[whoknew]

So how many free baserunners has Wash given the Cards this series?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Sad for Texas. Glad for STL

Hold your tears. This game ain't ending 5-2.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Though, it would be really ####ing cool if I ended up being wrong.

 

[snorlax]

That has to be possibly the worst ball call in the history of baseball given the pitch and the context.

 

[Eephus]

i'll bet the field on that one

I'm guessing he isn't a Cards fan. enkinger:

Pitch and context don't matter when it comes to balls and strikes. A ball is a ball and a strike is a strike no matter the situation. Just ask Livan Hernandez.

Walk off game seven homers or hits? Homers there has only been one. Hits? 1912 World Series, the Marlins in 1997 and the Twins in 1991 come to mind. I'd guess there are around seven.

Answer was 5: 1924, 1960, 1991, 1997, 2001The 1912 series ended with a sac fly and it was also game 8 (game 2 was a 6-6 suspended tie).

Tough loss for Johnnie Mac and Eephus.

The U-man? That guy's gotta be as old as Arthur Rhodes.

Chief should have had that Speaker foul ball to be honest.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Berkman looking like Crash Davis "sprinting" down to first there.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Brutal strike zone

 

[Steve Tasker]

6-2

 

[scottybo]

If Cards win, Freese=MVP right?

 

[rascal]

This ump sucks

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Unless something ridiculous happens between now and then. And probably still then.
