I never use the term choking.
But I can’t use anything else for some of those plays, it actually looked like some guys couldn’t handle the pressure.
One strike from a championship two times. Geez. This better not go down in history.
It wasn't like the were dropping pop flies, or Buckner-ing any balls.
Cards made plays, more plays than the Rangers. That’s about it.

Bullpen pitchers with no command, 2 errors by face, Cruz should have at least been close to that ball...
Other stuff…
Rather it was pressure of just bad plays, both teams were ridiculously sloppy.
Cruz should have had that one.

The bullpen pitched exactly like they have been most of the year. Walk here, walk there
Get the fortuitousness double play.
Like I said, the Rangers made some bad plays, but Cards some that were worse. They just made one less than the Rangers.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Oh come on man, it was a way worse than average game for mistakes.
Pressure or just mistakes, either way and regardless of what the cards did on their side.
Not regardless.
The Cards many bad plays as the Rangers, probably even more obviously dumb ones. The Rangers just made ones that cost more in the end.
I never said it was an average game for mistakes either.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
YES regardless
It doesn’t made if they made 0 mistakes or 50, Im not comparing the teams Im saying what the rangers did.
They played sloppy, they wern’t pop flys but it was a poorly played game in game 6 of the world series and it sucked, geez.
Actually, you were saying that they choked.
I disagree saying that you have to say both teams were choking if you’re going to say that.
They played bad defense etc. But they didn’t choke any worse than St. Louis did.

that you have to say both teams were choking.

He's on your side on this one.
I was going for your choking statement and trying to reassure you that there really isn’t anything like that.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
You don't think anyone has ever struggled to deal with pressure in the history of the MLB?
I don’t believe in any kind lf long term “clutchness” or any of that, but in isolated instances someone can probably choke. Its massively overused (like I said I almost never use the term), and I may have overused in this instance, but I don’t know about it simply not existing.
Elvis... What the hell flip was that in the 8th inning?
Emily Jones: Adrian Beltre's pretty good?
Mike Napoli: Wow. How about that guy.
Didn't it look like he could have made the force at 2nd?
Replay looked like runner wasn’t even at 2nd when Elvis made his throw.

It was a screaming line drive hit. That ball probably just kept staying in the air
he didn’t know where he was in the field and kept looking for the wall instead of paying attention of getting in position. It wasn’t a lazy pop fly that Freese missed or the one that Holliday let fall.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
he should have caught the fucking ball
I’m wondering if his hamstring was already bothering him at that point and that if he’d said something about it they would have had Chavez out there instead.
I didn't say it was easy
I said he should have fucking run for it.
Run to the wall, then come back if you’ve gone too far.
Don’t just drift over like you’re scared of the wall.
It was a line drive hit. He got a bad read, it appears.
I’m not trying to defend him to the death on this, but it’s not like the pop fly to Freese.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Kept staying in the air? What?
Yeah, it wasn’t a pop fly it was drilled hence why you run toward the wall until you see that you dont have to.
Some hits are just hit so hard that it appears they just stay in the air and never seem to come down.
You guys have your angry hats on tonight as you probably should. I’ll hit you up tomorrow when it’s cooled down.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I felt the same way when I was watching the play live
the way he was slowly drifting back it was like he had it all the way. Then he jumped when he would have been better off just taking an extra step.
he goes hard for that ball and the game is over
it should have been caught
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Looked like he thought he was up against the wall.
"He’s the boomstick, you know what I mean?" -Ian Kinsler
he was drifting back before that jump where he thought he was at the wall
either way you crash into that damn wall. it’s the world series, and if you catch that ball you win.

No. You're not.
It doesn’t make sense to make the offensive choice with one batter, and then make the defensive choice one batter later when the first offensive choice was successful.
That's what I thought.
Also while I’m on my list of gripes about earlier in the game… Holliday’s slide to break up the double play looked a lot like interference to me.

Leonys Martin is no Judy- JD at Newberg Night.
He could have either just thrown to 2nd, and got the out easily
like he was originally planning to.
Or, immediately thrown to first, and either would have been easy plays.
Instead he chooses the one option that gets 0 outs.
Honestly, I can't really blame Scott Feldman or even Mark Lowe that much
They’re just not that good. You can’t throw them out in extra innings and expect to win.
Darren Oliver and Feliz are the two assholes who should be raked over the coals. Feliz has been wild all series, and Oliver… fuck, man. Two LHB’s, and he couldn’t get either of them.

It's just one game guys
There is no reason to believe that the Rangers can’t win tomorrow. Remember that word? Believe? That word that was used all of last year to get us through the end of the Hicks era? The word that saved us from the horror that could have been Crane? The word that followed the great saying in “History doesn’t throw a pitch or swing a bat?” That single word should be part of the Rangers’ lexicon by now.
As I look upon the posts in this thread, it seems like the feeling is gone. That hope that we have as a team that took on the worst in the world and crushed. This team has come back from the depths, from the 11th hour courtroom battles to the belts that gave us home field advantage in the American League Championship. That love that we have for this team; it still is there.
Tomorrow night the Rangers will play the Cardinals in Game Seven of the World Series. Twenty eight other teams would give their left nut to play in this game. We merry few, we have the opportunity to write our own history with a stroke of a bat, the throw of a pitch. We will write our own history, and we will live to tell about it for generations.
Believe.

I still think that, even after tonight.
The happy is a bonus. The sad is at worst, a story to tell your grandkids.
My grandfather died a few years ago, at age 88, as a lifelong Cubs fan. Lived his entire life on the North Side of Chicago. At his funeral, my grandmother was the first one to stand up and talk about him. The first words out of her mouth were,
“When I married Jerry 60 years ago, I didn’t know that I’d also married the Cubs.”
(She was born on the South Side, by the way. She’s a White Sox fan.)
That’s why I’m a fan. I know that might not make sense right now, but there you go.

I think I'm going to have to avoid sports on the Internet until the game starts
I won’t be able to handle the media on this.
So they never said, was there an injury-related reason why MY was taken out of the game or was it just for defensive purposes
I ask because Mitch actually pinch hit for him. Also any word on Cruz?
defense only for MY....Cruz has a strained groin

the no doubles defense on berkman and IBB Pujols lost the game.
dont get all jumpy on cruz. he pulled a hamstring or something. something that seemed to affect him in the field on that 10th inning triple.
but pulling feldman for german was not smart. was there not another defensive player the rangers could’ve subbed after the inning was over? i mean i’m not trying to troll but german is not a godd ballplayer period. two outs one man on first with a depleted bullpen. i’m leaving feldman in and doing some voodoo with a micah owings and mike hampton doll

This is one of the worst feelings in my life as a sports fan. And I’m not even a hardcore baseball fan.

So this game, I’ve decided, ranks as the third most painful loss in my fan career.
1. Texas Tech 39, Texas 33. Crabtree’s TD gave my legitimate physical pain.
2. Alabama 37, Texas 21. It wasn’t an especially great game, but the what-ifs surrounding Colt’s injury haunt me to this day.
3. Cardinals 10, Rangers 9. Too soon.
I'm a UT fan too, and this game is far fucking worse than those two

We should have won this game in a million ways
Do the same thing tomorrow, with a more favorable pitching matchup, and just don’t blow it with ridiculous defensive and pitching gaffes
Our angle is...
Either we win today and henceforth consider this one of the best World Series in recent memory
Or
Lose and after sulking for a few weeks decide that next year will be our year because there is no possible way we can be competing against a team that has a better underdog story than we do.

Nope
If we blow it tomorrow (which, I don’t think we will), it will be like the Mavs loss in 2006.
It will take me until the playoffs next year to get over it, no matter how well we do in the regular season.
This would be much worse than the Mavs in '06
the mavs didn’t have 2 last second shots prevent them from winning that title. They lost in 6 games.

I can’t express how I feel. A whole lot of me is saying, “damn, my favorite team just blew two chances to win their first World Series”. Then again, a whole lot of me is saying that I just saw one of the greatest baseball games of all time, and I’m grateful. The baseball fan in me is trumping the Rangers fan in me. What a great, great game.
Let’s get it tomorrow, Rangers.

Right now I'm more angry than sad.
I want to see St. Louis buried in a storm of HRs and have their WS hopes crushed with a 15 run top of the first by the Rangers. And then watch La Russa squirm and Pujols start to cry in the dugout as the game goes on and the Rangers lead grows and grows. I want to see Berkman fall on his ass going for an easy foul ball and Freese and Craig colliding in LF while going after an easy popup.
Yeah, something like that.
I’m getting over it, slowly, but I think my wife was actually concerned about my mental health for a few minutes there.

I’m glad she’s come to care this much about the Rangers, but I need someone around to make me feel better right now.

I'm a baseball fan first, Rangers fan second.
I don’t think this concept is as ridiculous as some of you saying you won’t be fans next year if they don’t win tomorrow. My passion for this game will still burn the same. My passion for this club will still burn the same.

Oh, boo-hoo. We lost a game. There’s still a game to play tomorrow, and a cascade of bitching and whining isn’t gonna win it. It’s time for them to sack up, and for their fans to sack up. You’re either in, or you’re out.

This has been the biggest rollercoaster of my life but we will shine through. Please LSB brethren, do not lose faith. We have been through too much to not remain positive. We will look back on this bleak night and shrug it off. This ain’t over…oh fuck no, this ain’t over. Sleep well for tomorrow is going to be a glorious day.

Of course, Scott Feldman doesn’t miss many bats anyway…
Wash has such an odd hook with some guys vs. others

Followed the team for 15 years. Baseball has always been my passion. I can’t even put into words the feelings I have right now. On one hand, we’re going to game 7 of the World Series after being ONE FUCKING STRIKE AWAY. But remember what it used to be?
Suffering through the losses to the Yankees in the 90s, the times when we tried to buy a championship in the early 00s, Tom Hicks being a cheap fucking bastard, the awful, awful pitching, and seasons were over by June defined the years of following the Rangers for me.
The only time I’d ever seen them make the front page of ESPN.com was when they scored 30 runs.
So yeah, that was the most devastating loss I’ve experienced. But in a way, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. We’re fucking relevant. We’re in the WORLD SERIES. The days of being afterthoughts in the Metroplex are done with. There’s no going back now. This team will fucking bounce back. I know it. They got this.

Probably.
All it takes to win a World Series is a hot streak at the right time. Getting to the WS, or even the playoffs consistently means you have to play very well over a long span of time. I’m proud of the Rangers and what they’ve done these past two years. Still going to be hard to get over today, but I’m still so glad to be here, right now. Only two teams get here, and only one team wins. Sometimes it’s yours, and sometimes, it’s the other guy.
Really hope it’s us this year.
I wouldn't trade it either.
This game was absolutely devastating, but we’ll find a way to pull through. We don’t give up. No matter what happens tonight, we were part of one of the best World Series in recent history, and I’d so much rather lose it than not be here at all (though, is it bad that I’m pretty confident about game 7?). Don’t worry, people, it will happen sometime, and when it does, it will be that much sweeter.

when they charge in like that, you take off the bunt right. all the pitch has to do is hit the ball on the ground either way and it could be a hit

This may sound weird
but that would’ve been how I expected last year’s team to win. Not this year’s.
Last year was the storybook fairy tale, first ever World Series, just out of bankruptcy, only one playoff win ever. This year… we should’ve run away with the division, we didn’t. We scrapped through injuries, unexpected players breaking out and then not always lasting, the stars not always getting it done. This is not a storybook year.

Game 4 of the last World Series was the closest this franchise has come to a truly devastating loss. And by the end of that game, it had become pretty damn apparent the Rangers were sort of on cruise control.
And, fuck, Tommy Hunter.
But now no Red Sox or Mets or Cubs fan is going to ever seem the same. We’re fucking right there. Whether the Rangers win or lose Game 7, as fans, we’re there.

You don't think the Red Sox were looked at as chokers and jokers by many

But their fans: they get a certain amount of respect — even begrudging respect from the opposing that hate them — because everyone who’s a baseball fan and has been there knows how this goes.

I'll probably feel this way in a couple days. Maybe even by the next morning if we lose tomorrow night.
Virtually impossible for me to feel this way now.

That sucks, especially since fans are so intent on blaming a single person
But it really wasn’t all this fault (though a drama-less inning would be nice once in a while). It was just a bunch of really little things and a few big things that piled up. Not really anyone’s fault.
I hope he feels better tomorrow. We still have a game to play.
After a good run his command has been way off for several appearances now
Sigh. Well, hes one appearance from erasing this game.
does anyone else feel like Feliz
could have a tired arm since he hasn’t been able to command anything with any frequency

Same with CJ.
When he starts shaking off the catcher and spinning the ball in his left hand while he looks in for the signs you can tell he’s fucked. These guys just need to get over the pressure of the situation and just do what they’ve done all year. That’s why we’re here in the first place.

"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I really don't have a problem with it.
He’s the best hitter in baseball. You don’t let him beat you.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
This is an absolutely insane argument.
Why is it better for someone else to beat you than the “best” hitter in baseball?
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Because Albert has a better chance of beating you than anybody else in their lineup does.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
So, you risk, let's say, a 30% chance that the next guy beats you,
while also planting a potential run on 1B, instead of risking maybe a 35% that Pujols gets a hit? That makes no sense at all. None. Nada. Zip.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Depending on the situation it makes perfect sense.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
There are very few situations where it makes sense to give a player a base for free.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Yeah, I don't agree with that all.
Probably should just agree to disagree on this.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
We may agree to disagree about it,
but the statistics are not going to back you up.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Doesn't matter.
There are some things I don’t agree with stats about.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
We could test it out.
For instance, statistics say that if a person puts one bullet in a six-shooter before playing Russian Roulette, there’s a .167 chance that he blows his brains out the back of his skull, while if he adds a bullet, there’s a .333 chance of that occurring.
In other words, you play the odds, not the fucking gut.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
That's an overly simplified way to look at it.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
No, it's really not.
You are, quite literally, increasing the odds that you will lose by doing it.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I really don't feel like arguing about this.
But there are situations in which you should IBB somebody. For example, you have a man on first and guy at the plate who hits .350 with an OPS of .980 who rakes against lefties (there is a lefty on the mound). On deck is a guy that hits .260 with a .680 OPS who is better against righties. It is a tie game and there are 2 outs.
Obviously I’m just making shit up here, but to say that intentionally walking somebody has no place is the game is pretty dumb.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
Well,
that’s why I wrote this:
There are very few situations where it makes sense to give a player a base for free.
instead of this:
There are no situations where it makes sense to give a player a base for free.
Even still, depending upon the inning, I think you bring in a new pitcher before you just give up a base for no reason.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
Again, it depends on the situation.
If that’s an option then I would generally agree. But that’s the thing about baseball, there is so much to consider. It’s not all about what the stat sheet says. There’s more to it than that.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
What the stats sheet says,
is right FAR more often than some random manager’s gut instinct. So, yeah, it’s best to go with what gives you the best percentage chance of not allowing the team to score extra runs.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I don't think walking Pujols is solely based on some gut instinct.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
What are you basing it on, then?
Because even in the scenario you drew up, the superstar still has a 75% chance of making an out, and you would give him a 100% chance of standing on first.
"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." *Victor Hugo*
I did not want any part of BerkY in that situation.

I actually would have given him the 8th.
Then had Adams ready in case Feliz couldn’t find the zone.

And I don't get this.
It’s the World Series. If he’s out there putting guys on and not throwing strikes you can’t take the chance of him blowing it. He’s been playing with fire for about a month and it finally cost us.

I think he's more than capable.
I don’t expect him to, but I also don’t think the fact that the Cardinals hit well against lefties is something that Harrison, in top form, can’t overcome — any more than Holland couldn’t.
Dark Luck Dragon of the Sith
I just don't think Harrison is nearly as likely to get to top form as Holland is.
And Holland was kind of otherworldly the other night, so using him as an example of how the Cards can be shut down by lefties is a little unfair.
I think the combo of Harrison's ground-ball inducing tendencies, infield defense
and a favourable park outweighs the fact that the Cardinals hit lefties.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
And I think the fact that Carpenter is pretty good
And Napoli and Cruz will be on half strength mitigates any advantages we might’ve been able to garner from that fact.
I didn't argue that though
All I’m saying is that you have no grounds on which to suggest that there might be an advantage in this particular area.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
Starting Carpenter probably gives them a higher ceiling from their starter than we have.
Hence why I said “pretty even or in their favor if they throw Carp”.
They also have a fucking lower floor
with a starter on short rest compared to a generally dependable #3.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
And also: the Cardinals don't hit particularly better against lefties.

If you want to compare individual starts, it's as good a quick and dirty method as I know of.
Just because Josey uses it for things it wasn’t meant to be used for doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value in this instance.
It doesn't have value
because all we’re arguing is some notion that apparently Harrison is less able to have success against good teams.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
If lineup quality is the point you're trying to make
Cardinals wRC+ against LHP’s this year: 111
Phillies: 91
And the Phillies lineup that day included Wilson Valdez and something called Dane Sardinha. Their 3-4-5 was Polanco, Howard and Ben Francisco.
No, the point I was trying to make
was in relation to your suggestion that Harrison is supposedly less ‘capable’ (which seems to imply ‘likelihood’ or ‘probability’) of going out there and having a strong start.
I don’t deny that Holland’s more capable of being dominant, but I don’t think that’s necessary. All the Rangers conceivably need is a decent start – and going to Game Scores, if that’s how you want, Harrison had two more 60+ Game Score starts that Holland managed this season. Of course, context is probably a thing there, but really it means you can’t just cast off Holland’s case as an example of how the Cardinals lineup can be knocked down by lefties.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
I'm okay with it
if the floor is high.
I think the possibility of Harrison being bad in Game 7 is lower than the possibility of the Cardinals’ Game 7 starter being bad, and I’m comfortable with that.
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
I think he can.
I don’t think he will, though.

You know the Cardinals hit lefties about as well as they do righties, right?
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
ugh, i was afraid you'd say that
remember how deflating game three was when they gave up 16 runs. and then the next game, Holland pitches a gem and the Cards didn’t score a run. I believe that the Rangers are good at washing these kind of games away from their system and they are able to rebound come game seven. we just gotta keep believing..

The best episodes are when they have a particularly terrible movie to go after
this last week’s was I Know Who Killed Me, and it was absolutely hilarious. The only one that I didn’t really love was Punisher: War Zone, but it’s because they had the director on, and while she gave interesting background, there was less thrashing of said movie.
Scheer and his wife are good, but it’s all about Mantzoukas.

I think its easier to come back from a game you had really lost by the 6th inning
rather than a game that you were 1 strike away from winning twice. but I’m not these players, and they have more fortitude and strength that I do. Just show it one more time and get us all a win tonight

The thing about "momentum"
is that it won’t matter at all when the game starts tomorrow.
This was a devastating way to lose, but the Rangers will come out fighting. Let’s hope this game won’t mean a thing this time tomorrow night.
Yep
I’ve seen it too many times to think otherwise, most notably for me when the Braves came within a strike of beating the Giants in game 3 of the NLDS last year, after we took the lead in the bottom of the 8th. I felt like there was no way we could lose that game after that comeback. Not even close to what this game meant (I mean, it’s the World Series), but still. I no longer get excited when the other team is down to their last strike. The entire complexion of a game can change in the blink of an eye. …Or with one swing.

Past is prologue
Remember the 1975 World Series?
Game 6 at Fenway Park between the Reds and the Red Sox was just as intense as this Game 6. It was a seesaw battle that Carlton Fisk won with his fabled 12th inning homer.
What happened in Game 7 at Fenway? The Red Sox led 3-0 after 5. The Reds rallied with four, including Joe Morgan’s RBI bloop single to score Ken Griffey Sr. in the 9th inning, to win the title.
We’re the Reds.

Can't sleep; come to check out how the Angrydome is dealing with this.
To the more pessimistic ones, at least to the one’s who aren’t naturally predisposed to pessimism :
Don’t give up or get down on this team. They’ve bounced back all year and gotta do it one more time, albeit the toughest bounce back game all season, but I wouldn’t put it past those guys.
The Cardinals are scrappy as hell and gave us a hell of a game(in more ways than one), maybe the greatest I’ve ever seen, but I’ll be damned if the Rangers don’t show up tomorrow. We were one strike away, the closest we’ve ever been. This is now the closest we will be, for the time being. It’s within reach, just gotta go out and get it. Win tomorrow and it’s all good. Now if they lose, that’s when you can burrow yourself in a hole in the ground and let it all out. It’s a long off-season, but I got a feeling the Angrydome is gonna be a slightly less anger-filled this time around.

Yeah...
much in the same way that it has been hard to talk about what one more win means for us. There’s no way to describe this feeling. It’s different. And it sucks fully and hard.
by ghostofErikThompson on Oct 28, 2011 3:54 AM CDT up reply actions
I am just so down right now. Down doesn't really cover it at all. It's a laughable understatement.
But it was there. I honestly thought they had it after Hamilton’s homerun. Two runs with the bottom of the order coming up? And then horrible failure and pain.
And luck...
It’s not baseball without luck. So there’s that extra feeling of helplessness plopped onto this steamer, as well.
by ghostofErikThompson on Oct 28, 2011 4:03 AM CDT up reply actions
Yeah. I quit on basketball for years because it felt like the refs had more control over the game than the players.
I might give up on baseball because of stupid fluke hits and bullshit bunts that are popped up and yet it somehow helps the team that screwed up.
Stupid flukely shit happens in other sports, but baseball seems to have more of it. And it’s dumb.
It's weird to think that if the Rangers don't win tonight...
I might never be the same.
That sounds melodramatic and I’m not even sure what I mean. I’ll never stop loving baseball. But I feel like after tonight, things will be very different somehow.
by ghostofErikThompson on Oct 28, 2011 4:12 AM CDT up reply actions
Honestly, even if they do win tonight, I don't know if I'll ever attatch myself as wildly to the team again.
Tonight was a kick in the nuts. No worse than that. I’ve been hit in the nuts, and it has never hurt this long after the fact.
2006 Mavs did the same to me.
I know exactly what you mean. Thank god I only had to wait until 2011 to get it back.

2006 Mavs
Still loved them, but was horribly detached til this year, post- Portland series.
I don’t want to be ambivalent about the ramgers until future potential ALCS’S again
by dolphinpuncher on Oct 28, 2011 4:20 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Dude, same exact here.
I got interested after Portland, and started to believe and get excited again after the Lakers series. It’s probably not fair to compare the Rangers to the Mavs either, history considered, but once it gets to this point I can’t help it. Don’t know why.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
Man, I can't say that.
That game was pissed away by the Rangers. We had plenty of opportunity to win it. Plenty. All the bullpen had to do was get 3 outs in the 9th. And Neffy got knocked around a bit, but Cruz had a very good chance to make a play on the ball that tied the game the first time. And then Hamilton came back in the next inning and put them back up by 2 runs. All the bullpen had to do again was get 3 outs and they couldn’t do it. That’s what I can’t deal with right now.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
I'm not absolving the Rangers. That lead getting away in the ninth was all on them sucking dick.
The lead getting away in the 10th felt like stupid unlucky bullshit going out of control.
It never should have gotten to that point.

I may not sleep
I thought there was no way for me to feel worse than after the Mavs ‘06 Finals. At this point I’m not sure which is worse, we do still have a game 7. That Mavs team had been to the playoffs year after year and when they were up 13 with 6:30ish to go I knew the Mavs had won it all. I learned from this, never again would I let myself think that my team had won before they actually won. I did not think that they had already won, I was still worried the whole time but I was and am in disbelief. The change of emotions from blowing the save in the 9th to Hamilton’s two run home run was incredible, to go on to lose the game anyhow, crushing. I hope this team feels better than I do.
Not every squatch is a rocket scientist

That's kind of why I still have hope as monumentally horrible this feels...
If there’s a team resilient enough to pull this off, it is this team. Of course, that could mean nothing with a misplay or a couple of bad pitches tonight, but hell…at least there’s another chance. And the Rangers are still better.

Okay.
I think I’ve got enough beer, hot dogs, and shame in my system now to pass out. So I think I’m going to do that now. Hopefully we get these bastards tomorrow.

Ugh.
I am supposed to be asleep right now.
I have to start getting ready for work in an hour. For a 12-hour shift that will end right at the time the game is supposed to start.
I have not slept a single minute tonight. Just laid there awake all night. Too much of an emotional mess to sleep.
I can’t do this. I’m terrified I’m going to have a wreck trying to drive in this state.
It’s not just the game. It’s the game on top of a whole mess of crap that is going on in my life right now. But I really don’t want to add a car wreck or getting in trouble with my boss on top of that.
…this series may kill me yet.

I really don't want to do that...
…mostly because I have been sick recently—a function of all the stress from the aforementioned other crap in my life, I’m sure—and missed some time already.
I may have to, though.
better than going in and making a mistake

Probably true.
And, well… if I am gonna get in trouble, I’d rather get in trouble for being out sick too much than for falling asleep at my desk.
For what it's worth, I've been very productive this morning
The anger coursing through my veins has worked as the fuel that has kept me awake the whole morning. As for the productivity? It’s something to do, otherwise I’d probably fall asleep on the job.
Anger is fading, though. so I’m trying to pump myself full of Pepsi, let the caffeine do the trick for the afternoon.
In all probability I won’t have slept at all when the game begins. Either that, or I’ll fall asleep on the couch when I’m back from work.
I'm debating whether or not to change my avatar for tomorrow.
My lucky shirt’s mojo pretty much got eviscerated today, so that’s out. Probably going to pitch my lucky toothpick, too.
Go fresh, or stick with what’s gotten us here?
Nothing feels right right now. *sigh*
I almost changed it after game 1 of the ALDS, when it looked like bad luck for a moment. And then, well…
Alright...
Do what you feel like you can live with at the end of the day tomorrow. Personally, I’m not going to change anything. I’m wearing the clothes I like to wear when watching the Rangers and the witless ring has been with me since the fourth inning of Game 2 of the ALDS.

Yeah, I honestly shouldn't be expending new material that would be looked upon as an accursed jinx if we lose.
It’s amazing how superstitious I get before things like this, though…
I am too...
Everything else in life and I think it is silly. Sports, and I think it is silly not to. It’s no wonder that people that don’t care about sports think sports fans are weird.

I know the feeling.
I am not someone who believes in luck in any normal circumstance.
Sports is a whole different thing. I catch myself doing all sorts of things for superstitious reasons when it comes to the games. I think it’s born out of the desire to feel like I’m part of it somehow, to be more connected to the game.
…tonight, maybe I’ll just let the team do their thing. It might be better for my sanity.
you have a lucky toothpick?
I need more lucky things in my life

none tonight?
I BLAME YOU

I fell asleep on the floor and I don't know how
And now I am awake to this horrible nightmare again. I need to go back to sleep.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
I think I'm coming out of the darkness.
I’m going to take a shower and go to bed. I’ll see you gentlemen and ladies tonight. Hopefully, we’ll have a better night tonight.
getting ready to fly back to Houston from STL
Can’t stay for game 7. What a game last nite. I was freaking out all nite but today I have an odd sense of calm. We’re gonna win tonite I promise. It will be something epic almost like it was scripted out of a movie. It will make an already exciting series into something so special that the east and west coast fans will feel sad that they don’t have what we have in the Rangers. We cannot stop cheering, believing, supporting our team now. This is it. This is what we and every other baseball fan in the decades of the game have dreamed of. Up to now everything has just built the anticipation up to this incredible stage. This last game. This best of one. Our team will prevail.

still in shock
There are obviously no words to accurately describe what happened last night. Game 6 is 1 I may never get over if the Cards win tonight. I keep seeing the highlights(or lowlights) this morning and I still can’t believe what the hell happened. I…………… am at a loss for words and have been since last night/early this morning. Sigh……………. hoping we can win Game 7 but doubt it
if one more person says something to me about the game
I’m going to kill them
you are not alone
I think we all feel that way right now. i turned off my phone cuz of all the texts i was getting and i dont feel like turning it back on.

I blame my Cowboys jeresy
I wore an old Rocket Ismail jersey that I had from a long time ago that still fits me last night and look what happened. Every time I wear it something bad happens. It was the only thing i had clean that was related to Dallas sports. Time to burn it.
Ladies, Gents...
I got all of about two hours of sleep last night. I’m not sure any thing could be worse than what we witnessed in the context of competitive sports. But, though I don’t know any of you personally, I’ve enjoyed reading this blog countless times through the past few years during Rangers games, and I would like to encourage everyone to just try move on and enjoy the fact that the Rangers are still competing for a championship tonight.
Let’s go Rangers!!! May the best team prevail.
Tonight's score
Rangers 10
Cards 3
I hope.
Emotions making me ill.
Here’s to hoping they blow it open…
"I didn't want him getting ahead of himself," Mike Maddux told FOXSports.com. "I tell them, 'Keep it as simple as you can. The simpler the better; a genius on the mound is a simple mind.'" - Gm 4 2011 WS on Derek Holland. CJ Wilson. take note. Oh wait....
The thing that is keeping me sane.
Is that the Rangers have done this all season…Shit the bed and then come back the next day and win.

Pressure? If there’s any pressure it’s the pressure pressurizing the panty cannon.
Get them tonight
Padres fan who lives in SF
Hate, hate, hate the Giants
Hate, hate, hate the Cards
That game made me ill and my only connection to the Rangers is Adams and Jon Daniels (went to my college, but don’t know him).
Have a bunch of analysis of what I thought Washington did wrong, but can just say sorry. And sending you good thoughts for tonight.
