This is basically how I feel. Barring a rain-out, today is the last day of the baseball season for fans of all 30 teams, but it’s been good all the way up to the end.
Cardinals win probability play-by-play graph. Good God.
Nice story. If you watch the reply of the play on MLB.com highlights, the last part of the video shows him getting the ball and stuffing it into his shirt, before hugging his friend.
Pretty amazing, although you were beaten to it by Tanbarkie, further up the page.
Man, that was a great game. Now, it’s up to Carpenter. Hope he looks better than the last time.
Damn. I did a text search and everything.
My friends keep thinking I’m going to meet them at a bar to watch Game 7. No, I’m watching it at home, where I can see the whole TV, control pause, rewind, the volume, and especially…mute.
Then he’s out the $250. I left out a bit of the story, in that he’d already won $125k on them winning the NL pennant. Still, $250k on a swing of a bat has to be intense.
Someone in the comments of the story pointed out this exact scenario.
Is that pain really felt in the Metroplex? I suggest there aren’t all that many people there who gave half a damn about the team during their lean years, or wouldn’t rather be at a Cowboys game even tonight. IOW Go Cards!
Do you also love Tony LaRussa’s views on the subject you’re so reactive about?
Well, maybe, but I don’t know that I’d apply that to the Rangers. This is only their second. It’s not like they’re the Buffalo Bills or anything.
Get a nice double play and then give up two runs anyway.
Here we go again.
Kinsler’s slip was costly. I’d sure like to have all 3 of those.
With two outs in the first, you make him hit the ball

I must have completely missed most of the top of the first. I thought Andrus lined into a double play. Perhaps I should pay attention.
The Rangers have nothing to worry about. They have a two-run lead!
Now, who could have predicted that? 2-2.
If I’m correct in thinking that Freese just hit a two-run double, my paying attention problem may have fixed itself.
That is what I said last night. In the 9th, and the 10th.

I feel like the 11th inning of last night was just continued to tonight.

A humdrum affair so far. Incidentally can someone tell me why Texas sacrifice bunted in the top of the second? I couldn’t figure that out for the life of me. I’m not a fan of the sacrifice at all, but I could understand it in the seventh or eighth or ninth. But in the second inning of a tie game when you just scored two runs in the first - after scoring nine last night?
Baseball benefits from slow motion as much as any other sport. That play at first was incredibly close.
Washington obviously is of the opinion that every run may matter. Plus, it’s the pitcher. 0-11 with 8 strikeouts in his career. Why not?
