World Series

Censored by Laurie · October 25, 2011

Would a Matt Harrison/Kyle Lohse match-up be the sparest World Series game 7 match-up ever?

amazing game last night, sorry but CJ Wilson plain sucks, not sure how he Houdinied himself out of so many jams, but he is not a clutch post-season pitcher, so maybe Doc Gooden was right.

Napoli rocks though.

Thie Series game had higher ratings than the NFL yesterday.

I believe that was local ratings here in DFW, not national.

No, it was national.

Oh this? http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9QIQO9G0.htm

Makes sense. I thought I heard on GAC they were talking about Cowboys ratings vs Rangers ratings for Sunday.

I don't think pushing three 10 year olds to the grouond to make a catch on Green Hill on opening day is going to get you MVP of the World Series, sir.

I've got to tie my cart to something.... Kevin Kolb has really let me down as of late.

Game tonight called due to weather...keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow (Thursday).

This could be the biggest game in Rangers history. I know Texas is up 3-2 but I am still very nervous. People like to make paralells from this series to the Mavs series with the Heat but I think STL will be a lot tougher. My prediction is the Rangers will pull it out tonight and win the whole thing. I think Colby pitches a good (not stellar) game and the offense erupts in the middle innings.

I hope I am right. I think this game is a must win because should the Rangers lose tonight I don't expect them beating STL at home for a game 7. So tonight has to be the night. I hope they have one more win in them this season.

Jake Taylor: Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

Roger Dorn: What's that?

Jake Taylor: Win the whole f-ing thing.

To further illustrate that point, a guy on another board I visit pointed this out.

In the last 30 years, in Game 6’s, the home team is 11-4. In Game 7’s, the home team is 8-0.

From what I can tell (though it’s easy to miss due to Baseball-Reference’s poorly organized postseason pages, there have been 10 instances (in the same 30 years) of the road team having a 3-2 series lead going into Game 6.

7 of those times, the home team won the final two games of the series to clinch it.

So, yes...I think the Rangers need to win tonight.

Win

Green Mean · October 28, 2011

Cards refusing to go away. This is terrible. Now we have to see if Feldman can get 2 outs to win the world effing series.

Green Mean · October 28, 2011

I can't believe we blow two leads. I have a feeling this game and this series won't go well.

Yep. Two times in back to back innings you have 2 outs and 2 strikes and you can't put them away. Utter disaster.

MDH · October 28, 2011

No chance in game 7, none.

CMJ · October 28, 2011

That was an epic game. I wonder if either team has any pitchers that can do anything worth a crap tomorrow.

I just logged in to see whether you'd made any jinx posts.

Progress? :ph34r:

The only time he went on three days rest in his whole career(NLCS)...he was not Chris Carpenter. Didn't even make it out of the 4th against the Brewers if I recall. Not expecting much from him tomorrow.

Green Mean · October 28, 2011

Maybe Texas does have a slight chance to win tomorrow....it seems like baseball is a sport you can do that as well as hockey...but man I think Texas is really dejected now. Man this is such a gut punch.

Jesus was a carpenter.

After a tough loss, he managed a pretty amazing performance on 3 days rest.

Not saying, just saying.
