Nice quick 10 pitch first half the inning
I guess I’ll start things off… Hopefully, I’m not just talking to myself by the end of this one..

I just noticed that Edwin Jackson's not on the Rays postseason roster
I hope that doesn’t come back to bite them in a couple of games. Seems like he could have been used as a long-man at least.

When did Carlos Pena have a "terrific season in Texas"

Ditto
Plus, I was just bitching to my husband about the stats being reset on gameday – I wanted to know how likely it was that this dude I never heard of was going to hit a home run there…..
and then he did.

What happened to Pena?
I am the motherfucking shore patrol, motherfucker! I am the motherfucking shore patrol! Give this man a beer.
i heard blurred vision
he apparently scratched his eye last night at home. They say he’ll be back for next game and it is not a serious problem.

Why do I dislike Pierzynski so much?
Maybe it has to do with that hair of his.

Are you freakin' serious?
Who gave him the secret to hitting in the playoffs?

glad cabrera struck out after... whatever that was.
sit down.
the preceding post was a great success.
I believe you're referring to Juan Uribe's beard?

Sorry. watching GameDay. What the hell was that?
"If I could breathe, I would vomit." - Ned the Pie Maker
dont really know
after the outside pitch pictured cabrera decides to kick dirt toward the mound and yell at the pitcher. they yell back and forth a bit. then balfour strikes him out, also pictured.
no explanation for why cabrera was mad.
the preceding post was a great success.
Yeah
I’m kinda neutral towards the Sox and the Ozzie factor was pushing me to root for the Rays in this one. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I realized that if they win, it would be Playoff Series wins for the Rays 1 – Rangers 0. Sorry? Sure. But I don’t care.
Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 77-20 To RICE? Come on.
One down. 6-4. Good prediction, I'd say
I wish that MLB set up games like this everyday during the season – Afternoon, Early evening and late evening games – all televised on one station.

dang nice prediction

good game
love seeing the rays beat the sox, but i’ve got to say the tbs broadcast is awful.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
im rooting for the rays,
but a darker side of me wants another team to suffer like us and for them to have to go to the playoffs 2 or 3 times before they get a playoff series win

well, they have as many playoff wins as the Rangers now...
wonderful. A team that’s been around for 10 years has as many playoff wins as a team that’s been around for 36.
Scioscia should be ripped for last night..................
So, K-Rod hadn’t pitched since September 27th. Game 1 was on October 1st. Game 2 is October 3rd. And Game 3 is October 5th.
So, why in the blue hell did K-Rod NOT pitch the 9th inning last night? He actually should have been available to pitch the 8th and the 9th. Angels trailed 2-1, why not insert your best reliever to try to keep the game as close as possible?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think K-Rod is the be-all, end-all. The media made WAY too much of the 62 saves this season. There are about 10 “closers” that I’d take over Rodriguez (even this year). But, K-Rod is the best reliever the Angels have. It made me laugh when Shields gave up the 2 runs in the 9th to put the game at 4-1 in favor of Papelbon. Good luck with all that! Scioscia deserved to have it shoved up his ass!
OT but awesome
You guys, if you post photos up on Flickr I highly recommend the moo mini-cards. I ordered some for a few of my pictures, and I got them today. The one made of this photo turned out FANTASTIC.

also,
wow, wtf is up with CC? Has he looked this bad the entire game?

Did the Brewers run CC into the ground already?

Yikes.
Grand Salami, Victorino.
If CC doesn’t dominate this postseason, he is going to f himself out of A LOT of money
51 pitches through 2 innings...ouch
guess my prediction for this game is out the window.

Next Year
What pick do the Rangers have in next years draft? Do we keep that pick if we sign a type A free agent?
13, i believe
so yes, we will keep that pick if we sign a Type A

Hoping
I’m hoping we will go after CC and money whip him to come here and then make a trade for a Zack Greinke type pitcher.
Rotation
CC
Greinke
Millwood
Padilla
Harrison
Add in Feliz and the other youngsters that are up and coming in the next few years and you are set for a long time. After watching CC in the 2nd half he can carry a team. He’s worth the money.
sabathia
obviously he is going to get a huge contract this offseason but i’m not sure it would be a smart move. what he did as a brewer was amazing and he will get paid largely based off that but he has never been anywhere close to that good during any part of his career. he is an ace quality pitcher but he has put a gazillion miles on that arm over the last couple of years. just what the brewers did to him over the last two months is a big concern to me.
OT: Hamilton's book
I pre-ordered a copy of Josh Hamilton’s book “Beyond Belief” and it arrived in the mail today. I started reading it this afternoon and I guarantee I’ll be done by Saturday. It’s fantastic and very insightful. I’m gaining a new appreciation for Josh, his past, how he got to the Rangers and more. I’m simply floored by his honesty. It’s a must-read.

I would have gotten it on my way home from work if I had more than $30 in my checking account.
I get paid at midnight though. :-)
It's not in stores yet...
Not until Oct. 14, from my understanding.

well
<blockquoteThe Brewers won’t have Ben Sheets available for this or any other series in the postseason because of a torn muscle near his right elbow. Sheets, like Sabathia, is a free agent soon.>
Well that pretty much ends any desire to sign him.
In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home
crap. this is waht it was supposed to say

TJ surgery
When I heard he had a sore forearm, I figured it was just a matter of time until he had to have TJ surgery. It seems that is always the eventual result when they start talking about soreness. Maybe it was just a muscle issue, but my guess is that he is headed for major surgery.
Zambrano
is about to choke a bitch, you can tell

I love it that the Cubbies are choking....
if the White Sox make it farther than the Cubs, the South Side is going to riot.
Jeez. finally over.
The Cubs seem to need a “shakin’ up and a fixin’”

Gratz to the Rays
they now have as many franchise playoff wins as the Rangers.
A good playoff showing and they may make their way out of the worst franchise in baseball, and give the Rangers a better shot at that title.

Actually, if the Rays advance
I believe that makes the Texas Rangers the only franchise in MLB to never win a playoff series. Which will probably make the Rangers the worst active franchise in MLB.
