That was a fun game. I love when batters are able to slug it out. But, both teams have good pitching, so hopefully things will get back to normal tonight. I suspect Texas kept pitching to Pujols because until last night, he hadn't done much damage. Now, they might have to rethink their strategy when he is batting. Good stuff. |

edwin jackson on the mound for the cardinals. derek holland for the rangers.
i don't have confidence in either one. but one or both has to step it up. it's post season, that's what the great teams do. but i don't see it happening lol. so what i do have confidence in, ... over the wall, many balls! lol chris carpenter for cards and cj wilson for rangers, ... that's as deep as it gets. for the 2 best teams, those 2 are really all you can depend on to give you a quality start. go cardinals! |

So you anticipate another slug fest? Hm, that means a long game. I better take a nap. |
Holland has done well. He looks so damn young to me! But, just about everyone looks young to me.... hummmm...
It is the top of the 7th and Texas leads 4-0. Interesting. The kid is still on the mound for Texas. Boggs went in and gave up a home run.. :( I am for the Cards (National is my league), but I have to say I enjoy seeing "Wash's" animation during the games. He seems like a good guy and good manager- afterall, this is the Ranger's second WS in 2 seasons. I do like Nolan Ryan too. he pitched what, 7 no hitters in his career (most of any pitcher???)? And he was in his early 40's when he pitched his last. Some kind of pitcher! Have to give him that... even though he and George "W" are such good pals. LOL, actually, the love of baseball is probably the only thing I have ever liked about George W Buch. |

Holland is young. He's certainly stepped up to the plate and displayed his metal tonight. Very strong under so much pressure. I love Ron Washington. Brilliant manager. I can't stand G. Bush. What connection does he still have with the Rangers other than being friends with Nolan Ryan? They need to throw his worthless ass out of the stadium. |
Holland picked a good time to pitch the game of his life. Very impressive. Love watching Washington do the "Wash" - reminds me of an overexcited lil kid with his bouncing and stuff. Gonna be a tuff series. Still thinking the Cardinals can pull thru this - tho it helps to spread the runs out. :blink: |

This is really an exciting World Series. Every game a completely different story!
|
well i'll be dang. i'll never not believe in holland again lol. awesome, is what he is.
the homerun by napoli. he was so zoned in! that was beautiful. he had his mind made up before the pitch, ... jumped on it! loved it. great defense by texas. we know the ws is going back to st. louis. and i'll keep my non-confidence opinion to myself LOL. go cardinals! |
Awesome! That home team crowd is adding to the excitement. This means we get to see another game. I expected a come-back fight from the Rangers, but NOT like that.
WHO wants this more??? to be continued. gosh, this is great. |

I think the Cards will be back with some punch, however. Both of these teams are determined and both giving baseball fans a great show! This is the stuff the history of the game brings home to me. How many WS have brought some cheer and time away from worry about the economic mess we are in for just everyday people! I love seeing fans enjoying themselves at a ball game. Reminds me of the stories my parents used to tell about their "couting & sparking" during the Depression years at a few ball games. Some happy moments in the midst of a very scary time. |
Holland STUNNED me. I was worried when they announced he was pitching. I thought he gave his all. When Ron came out to get him off the mound it seemed to me like he was asking to stay in. Felice, who I generally like, even though he is a bit wild, scared me. But he did okay.
And yes Napoli did awesome!! Great hit. I swear when the Camera panned to Jackson I could hear him say (in his head) "Thank Zues that was not my pitch". or something equally fun. Looking forward to tonite!! |
I love it. Thrilling. Drama. This is a.great epic battle.

oooo ooo ooooh! 2 -2 tied in the series. NOW I have to watch, sooo exciting! :goodluck: |
And which team will emerge as only one game away from victory tonight? Yikes!!! This Series is not following the home-team advantage code at all! Both have lost at home.
:hangloose: |
I have my money riding on the Rangers. the underdog. The Rangers have never won a world series. I think last year was the first time they won their division. The Cardinals have won several world series. So, its the Rangers time.
|
GO CARDINALS! I like them because they are not the Rangers. I've still got a grudge. |

Okay. So I get that it's allowed and perfectly within the rules and everything...but it really pisses me off when they intentionally walk people. It just irritates me.
