I think Texas will take it though.

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.

Yeah, that's wrong.

What's up with CJ Wilson.

If I didn't have to be up at 0'dark-thirty,
I'd be at a sports bar up in the Pearl Dist
watching the game right now...

but, I surfed online to find out that it's 2:2 (bottom of the 8th).

FFS, GOOoOoOoOoOOoo Cardinals!!!!

betenoire · 10-24-2011, 09:41 PM

Ugh, I am so disappointed.

Kätzchen · 10-24-2011, 09:51 PM

Bete just told me the score....

*son of a flippin buck*

<<< insert FEMME death-stare here >>>

the only thing that could make this feel better
is to win huge on the lottery tickets I purchased tonight.

Come on Wednesday night.

kannon · 10-24-2011, 09:58 PM

Yay Rangers!!!!

Cardinals fans: It's not over yet. best of 7 so don't be too discouraged.

More baseball to come.

Rangers took advantage of all their opportunities and then some. If the Rangers win, I hope there is a camera on Ron Washington doing his jello like dancing and bouncing. He is so damn cute.

Cardinals did not take advantage of anything. Allen Craig doesnt look like the fastest guy in the world to me. Why is he trying to steal when Pujols is up at bat? Were those booboos or strategy? La Russa looked unhappy from about the 5th inning on. This anemic hitting isnt going to get it done with the Rangers ability to score runs.

Glad there is a day off. Time to regroup for the home stretch. This has been a great series thus far.

Boy, the Cards made some mistakes tonight, alright. Except for Pujols, the Cards bats have not been hitting other than the other night. You are right, they need to get it going. Of course, they will be in St Louis for the next game- sooooooooooooooooo! But, if Texas wins Wednesday, that's it!

I do enjoy Washington- Geez what a contrast to LaRussa- he is so serious. There is a part of me that thinks it would be cool for Texas to win it after loosing last year. also, Washington has certainly managed that team well. And the Cards have won quite a few.

Yes, this is an exciting WS!!!

I'd LOVE to see it go to seven games.

Last night, much to my surprise, was not a slug-fest. I am neutral with who wins. I haven't changed that position. The cards have had so many championships, time for the Texans to feel good. But if that doesn't happen. I'm o.k. with the Cards winning another.

Yes, I am OK with either team winning. Would like the NL to put up another stat, but, Texas is playing good ball.

I would love it to go to 7 games!!!

The announcer the other night was talking about LaRussa and his superstitions. Said he has so many pre game rituals, they were surprised he made it to the ball park.

Washington has a different type of intensity. He is looser and as a result perhaps, so are his players. He might be fun on Dancing With the Stars.

Plus, it seems Texas has solved the how to pitch to the Cardinals dilemma. Holland did it, and Wilson did it last night. Pitch them inside, over and over and over. Cards hitters arent making the adjustments yet.

Do I even want to know who the Cards are pitching on Wednesday?
