I was kind of rooting for the Cardinals just because the bandwagoners around here are annoying. But after the way the Cardinals played in Game 5, they don't deserve to win. It was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from a playoff team, much less World Series. From all the runners stranded, the questionable plays (like that caught stealing play on Craig, or whatever it was) to some of the guys (Nick Punto comes to mind) looking like they were talking practice swings in the on deck circle when they were at bat with a full count, or in Nicks case, a full count with 2 outs. It honestly looked like they didn't want to win.

yeah game 5 was just sad. and they better do more than want to win tonight. i certainly dont want to be in a bar tonight with a bunch of crying cards fans.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I am pretty much unable to take this anymore. Can we please fast forward to tonight? But part of me wants to slow down and enjoy the moment. I am trying to enjoy and appreciate my team just being in this position but it is difficult. I did that last year and was fine with them losing. This year is different.
I am a basket-case right now.
I know your feeling. I was like that last year. It's easy to watch when you don't really care but all-consuming when "your" team is in it.
for flagg's sanity, I hope it ends tonight

And yet they had the tying run at the plate and the best hitter of our generation at bat.

Yeah, I saw him play a few times before the 'roids, and he was amazing. It's too bad the steroids are all he'll be remembered for though. Tiny head Bonds was a much more exciting player than swollen head Bonds.

What a hell of a good world series but there can be only one world champion the Rangers are the better team to me and the cards over celebrated like they just won game 7 maybe they had if game 6 didnt get rained out.
All great runs have to come to a end sometime and because of a rain delay the cards run stops tonight.
It's amazing how well Nelson Cruz has played offensively to get Texas here
Yet if they don't win, that replay of him jumping too soon at the wall will be played over and over and over again
That was for the ws title ya big dummy
you've got to make that play and he missed it badly. playing no doubles defense that should be an easy play. he even drifted back pretty non-chalantly and just flat out missed it. i would have punched a whole in the wall if i was a rangers fan. good luck tonight. beat that fucker larussa.

ya ... and the andrus play as well - although that didn't cost them a run ...
edit: although i think he kinda choked ... final out of the world series and everything going in his head ...

That was a tough play, but Cruz looked terrible trying to catch that ball. You have to make that play!!!
cruz should have made the play..might have cost them the series
Reminded me of Bobby Abreu, as soon he felt that wall gettin closer, put on the brakes.
Yeah and if you don't see it correctly like many fly balls that were misplayed last night, then play it off the wall and with his arm it might not allow a run. It definitely wouldn't have allowed both runs to score. That was huge, and hopefully he makes up for it tonight.
Last night on Fox 4 (the Dallas Fox station) they were saying all the players families had gathered by the field for the post-game celebrations, and that the champagne had been wheeled into the Rangers locker room and the plastic had already been put up over the lockers. To be that close (reminds me of the '86 Red Sox) and lose has to be a kick in the groin.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
I lost sleep over that shit and I don't even like the Rangers.
eerily similar to the giants choke job in game 6 of the 2002 WS (maybe worse). I'll be shocked if they can come back and win game 7

OK, I have no words on last night. A part of my soul died a little. I am not commenting any more until after tonight. I feel so down and depressed that if PJ announced a NE tour today I wouldn't even notice, nor give a shit.

I was just about to say that. I saw on Deadspin that they sent out text messages saying they won in the middle of the 9th.

Hardball Talk made a good point that the emotional aspect of it may be a bit overblown and pointed to the fact that the Red Sox were up 3-0 going into the 6th in the game after Buckner.

I don't think that's a problem. One thing you can say about this team is they don't get rattled. Although this might be bigger than other situations. But after the Rays beat them 9-0 in Game 1 of their series, they bounced back. After Pujols had that big game and St. Louis beat them 16-7 the Rangers came back and beat them 2 in a row, shutting the Cards out in the next game. I don't know if Texas will win or not, but if they lose I don't think it's going to be because they're rattled from last night. If anything I think stuff like that invigorates them.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
Whoa i feel for Texas & their fans but man this WS has been fucking great to watch and last night was epic but to start to get the locker room ready to celebrate before the last out is recorded :roll: :roll: jinx , 86 Red Sox did the same shit ...
