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. |

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? |

what ever happened to real appologies?
Tony La Russa's daughter removes offensive tweet about Ron Washington
Staff report Sporting News Devon La Russa, the daughter of St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, apologized and removed an offensive tweet she sent Sunday night regarding Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington, Yahoo! Sports reports. The tweet that created the backlash: "I saw a crack head doing 'The Wash' today. Coincidence? I think not..." Tony La Russa's daughter apologized for a derogatory tweet about Rangers manager Ron Washington. (AP Photo) 'The Wash' is a reference to the animated gestures Washington performs in the dugout during critical plays in games. The drug reference created a stir because Washington tested positive for cocaine during the 2009 season, his third as Rangers manager. Devon La Russa removed the tweet and posted this one: "I really truly did not mean to be offensive! It's a phrase I use, meant as a joke. Please don't be offended! Go Cards!!!" Washington has led the Rangers to back-to-back World Series appearances and has the franchise one win away from its first world championship. Texas can win the World Series in Game 6 in St. Louis on Wednesday night. Comments Read more: http://aol.sportingnews.com/mlb/stor...#ixzz1bpfy5bmI |

Washington tested positive for cocaine during his third year as a manager? I didnt know they even tested managers. "The testing program was added to existing regimens under which Major League Baseball randomly tested minor leaguers, front-office officials and even umpires for recreational drugs. Commissioner Bud Selig adopted the additional testing in response to recommendations in the Mitchell report, which studied the history of drug use in baseball. " http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/18/sp...l/18texas.html In other news, the Red Sox announced today that John Lackey will be having Tommy John surgery and be out for the entire 2012 season. Dice-K had the same surgery this past June and might be ready the middle to end of next season. Bucholtz is still recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back. And Popeye chicken has announced the newest addition to their menu....the Beckett Bucket. Wonder if it comes with a 6 pack? I made that up btw. Ahhh the joys of being a Red Sox fan. |

Sooooo... I taped Monday's game and watched it last night. I usually set my PVR for an extra hour... Monday I set it for a 1/2 hr. I missed the last two runs.
Who scored for the Rangers?? Plz tell me. I know I can look it up, but I like the ongoing commentary here on our board better....

Are they all male? I remember when Marge Schott was an owner of the Cincinnati Reds. I believe they ran her out of Baseball. She Liked Hitler and the Natzi's and hated everything else, including us. I recall she drank Vodka, straight....I wouldn't have known any of this if the radio announcers didn't talk so freely about her. I don't think I know this much about my home teams ownership. |

Game 6 postponed
They have postponed game 6 due to impending inclement weather. Game 6 will be played tomorrow with Colby Lewis vs. Jaime Garcia. Game 7 will be Friday with Matt Harrison against ???? With the delay, I am almost expecting La Russa to pitch Carpenter again. Finally figured out who Carpenter reminds me of.....anyone else think he looks like Russell Crowe? This delay is messing up my snacking schedule. |
