BASEBALL!

Wow, Albert Pujols!

Love how the Rangers would pitch to him, but always walk Cabrera when they played the Tigers. Whatever.

And I love how Pujols did not mock the pitcher when he hit a 100 mph fastball for a homer, like Nelson Cruz mocked Verlander when he hit a 100 mph pitch for a homer. Pujols is a class act.

Ditto, class act. Very well respected. Ranks up there with Cal Ripkin.

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.

Go Rangers.

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.

Kobi · 10-23-2011, 09:24 PM

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.

I know, and he seems to be at all the Ranger big games. I don't think he still has any ownership in the club.
