The Texas Rangers could win the first World Series championship in their history tonight if they beat the Cardinals in St. Louis. No weather problems expected, though temperatures will be cool (upper 40s to low 50s at game time).
I know who most Cubs fans are rooting for. When the season finally does end -- either today or tomorrow -- then our sights will be turned to the offseason and changes to come in the Cubs coaching staff (hopefully) and roster.
Meanwhile, Colby Lewis faces Jaime Garcia in Game 6. More game details after the jump.
Game time for Rangers/Cardinals: 7:05 pm. CDT. Rangers lead series 3-2. TV: Fox. Announcers: Joe Buck & Tim McCarver (get your mute button ready).

Go Rangers!
Hopefully they’ll hit ’em hard, hit ’em often & take Garcia out early, forcing the Cards to bring in the bullpen early.
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
I don't know what this says about me as a baseball fan in general
But my interest in this series is low. As mentioned, my sights are already on what news will come in next.
monkeybiz - October 27, 2011
In spite of the fact that it's the Cardinals in the Series, I think it's been a good World Series overall.
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
Is the country bored with this Series?
And if so, why? Is it that the ESPN sports puppet masters have declared this a dull match because New York and Boston are long gone? I’m happy as a clam that the Yankees and the Red Sox are out of this thing. In fact, both LCSs were great because all four teams were from the Midwest/Heartland. The whole East Coast hegemony in baseball had been starting to get me down. Naturally, I’m hoping the Epstein Gang will lead us to a new era wherein the rest of the country will start getting aggravated because the Cubs are always in the NLCS and/or Series. But back to the original thesis — the OP says his (her?) interest in the Series is low. That’s funny because it’s been a great Series with twists and turns, dramas, bizarre managing, good guys and bad guys, excellent play and lousy play. This is terrific stuff.
copingwiththecubs - October 27, 2011
FWIW, the ratings for Monday night's game were better than "Monday Night Football".
I am a Cubs fan, but first and foremost I am a baseball fan and I enjoy watching the World Series. The only one I didn’t see or care to watch was 2003.
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
I hear you brother...
from my POV, the 2003 Series didn’t even exist.
copingwiththecubs - October 27, 2011
I put an asterisk next to the 1981 World Series. That whole season was hosed.
I never did understand that whole “split-season” concept. Should have been the Cardinals and Reds in the NL and Brewers and Athletics in the AL.
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
The purpose behind the split season in 1981
was to get another round of the playoffs in and make up some of the money they lost in the strike.
It’s done in every minor league below Triple-A, of course. But of course, everyone knows that before the start of the season and they did not in 1981.
Josh Timmers - October 27, 2011
wow
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Good start so far!
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
good job stopping the bleeding...
daily2b - October 27, 2011
shit
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Good Evening fellow Cubs fans
Everyone enjoying the game? Specially if the Rangers can win it tonight
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
LOL
awful LF play AWFUL
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Nap-o-LEE!!!!!!!
daily2b - October 27, 2011
ummmm... SLIDE!!!!!!!!!
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Napoli will walk it off
Can’t say Cutler ever would
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
If Rangers win tonight, Napoli should win World Series MVP.
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
deserves it
win or lose.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Agree.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
BTW to the guy in the previous thread who said how Sandberg quit in '94...Cutler was the quitter last year. Big difference between a guy who retires and one who quits.
jeffmills1972 - October 27, 2011
Why did Garcia get pulled?
Looked good to me in the third.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I was wondering the same thing.
That was bizarre.
Now, whether Lewis can get out of this or not…yikes. I hope the Rangers have someone up.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Ah crap
Looks like Washington might have to go to the bullpen early
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
Please don't let the Cardinals win.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
BOOOOOO!!!!!!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
ugly baseball
on both sides. wonder if LaRussa’s quick hook is gonna hurt him Texas if getting very familir with these StL relievers.
QuincyCub - October 27, 2011
Washington might be going to his early
Unless Lewis gets something going again
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
Holliday keeps sliding like that
he will get one in the jaw. I dont mind the slide its the hands flying
Hammer - October 27, 2011
On the first to third fake by the pitcher
From a fan “Nice move fa**ot ass”
That guy’s an asshole.
Hammer - October 27, 2011
I have both benches written down
so I can cross off names as needed.
Theriot might come in on a double switch.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
i don't believe thhhhis shit!!
daily2b - October 27, 2011
like I said...
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Freese does his best Ramirez impersonation.
Make it hurt Rangers, time for the Cardinal fans to start to squirm.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
The Cubs are in the World Series!
Look at those errors
Cubbiegoon - October 27, 2011
First team to 5 errors
loses
timh815 - October 27, 2011
The 2011 Cubs are not in this series
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Meaning
you can win with 5?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
You could if you were playing the 2011 Cubs.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
I wonder what the most errors in a world series game ever is...
slcathena - October 27, 2011
this is awful - but kinda funny
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Its the St Louis Cubs
Hammer - October 27, 2011
be a nice time for Cruz to wake up...
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Hafta walk Napoli, no?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
yes
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Really?
Going to let Lewis swing away? That’s…weird?
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
dumb
daily2b - October 27, 2011
It's like both managers
have forgotten good baseball. And both teams just took a day off.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Now if Lewis is pulled
we’ll know Quade is managing.
LT - October 27, 2011
ha
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Milk a couple more hitters out of him
But yeah
timh815 - October 27, 2011
why?
last game of the season….
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Do they have a guy with two
scoreless innings in him?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
isn't holland and wilson available?
That was dumb to me.
LT - October 27, 2011
They can play for tomorrow.
Plus he got out of the 5th so now it lloks ggod.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
If you use them now
they’re done tomorrow.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Quick inning for Lewis
maybe it was a good move
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Does Lewis??
gotta jump on that opportunity!!!
daily2b - October 27, 2011
if I had my ace in the the game, maybe...
anyone else, I go with a PH
daily2b - October 27, 2011
TLR is so far into his pen,
I’d have left in Lewis until Pujols
timh815 - October 27, 2011
opportunities are sacred
-Theo
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Who pinch hits?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Ditka?
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Lynn is up in the bullpen for the Cards
Wonder if it should be Motte warming up instead.
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Senior moments
brought to you by the St. Louis Cardinal Baseball Club
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Where the heck is
qwertyuiopski
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I was at KFC today
and a guy ordered the value big box, 2 KFC snackers and 10 Hot wings. All for himself. WTF dude.
bheidge - October 27, 2011
How was Jon Lester?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I'm in Minneapolis
I think it was Matt Capps
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Was that breakfast?
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
It was 1:30 so I am sure he had
a few dozen Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuits earlier
bheidge - October 27, 2011
go big
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Wow
And people give me a crap for eating at the Grease Trucks
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
did he order a diet coke with it?
LT - October 27, 2011
He had a water
what a cheapass
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Just got in from work, let's hope this score holds up.
dsenchi - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I know nobody likes bunts,
but a run would look huge here. And StL might throw a bunt into RF.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Surprised Holliday didnt lose that one in the rally towels
bheidge - October 27, 2011
squirrelly comment
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I've hated Furcal ever since he turned down our contract
and then decided to break DLee’s wrist
bheidge - October 27, 2011
plus a bilio9n
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Regardless of the errors this game,
This has been a very good series to watch.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I only liked the games that St Louis lost
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Hitter-to-hitter this inning.
You should have 3 relievers ready.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
How was that not a strike?!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I agree
timh815 - October 27, 2011
whew
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Sit down, Albert.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
And stop whining about the call.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Everytime he strikes out
he loses a half mil off his next contract
bheidge - October 27, 2011
So does that mean the Cubs will sign him for about $20 mil?
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
I would be for it but...
that means I need to throw away all my clever “Cardinals take it in their pujols” tshirts. I have 5 of them.
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Why? I think you could keep them since
we would be literally sticking it in their pujols by taking him from them.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
true
I guess it would still make a nice piece of baseball memorabilia
bheidge - October 27, 2011
nice ab
sadly
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Bad play, this has been a poorly played game.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
When is the All Star break?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Right after the Rangers win.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
omg. here we go again...
slcathena - October 27, 2011
wow
thx Young
daily2b - October 27, 2011
He's the LVP today.
Dude.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Beltre has left a lot of guys on base hasnt he?
bheidge - October 27, 2011
What's the thought on big Mac as hitting coach?
epsilon - October 27, 2011
Take the damn out
Berkman doesnt run well enough so a basehit doesnt mean a run
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Has theriot played in any game yet.
epsilon - October 27, 2011
he batted a few times I think
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I've watched every game and I don't recall him playing....
Weird..
epsilon - October 27, 2011
I thought he had come to bat. I could be wrong.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
that was a strike
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
I am really starting to hate this damn ump
Seriously, had a few good pitches
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
Should be it for Lewis
either way
timh815 - October 27, 2011
too bad for him
only thing he did wrong was walk Freese
bheidge - October 27, 2011
It's almost as if Joe Buck is afraid to let silence seep into the broadcast.
Shut the hell up for a damn second, Joe.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Has he always sounded like that or did something happen to his voice?
epsilon - October 27, 2011
AYFKM????
daily2b - October 27, 2011
ummmm
STRIKE???
daily2b - October 27, 2011
THROW STRIKES.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Squeeeeeeze
Ump needs to find the right strikezone
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Ogando has sucked in the WS
bheidge - October 27, 2011
DP
daily2b - October 27, 2011
@#*&$)!@(#&$@*&$#)*&@)*#$&*&#*$@
:(
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Shoulda left Lewis in
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Shoulda PH for him
daily2b - October 27, 2011
I blame this ump
He doesn’t have a consistent strike zone
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
That's a complaint for Lewis, Ogando wasn't close.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
ogando post-ASB makes grabow feel good about himself
ffs
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
NAPOLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Yeah...
Isn’t he considered a “weak” defensive catcher?
epsilon - October 27, 2011
agreed
I have become a big fan
Hammer - October 27, 2011
nnnice
daily2b - October 27, 2011
That's why Lewis pitched the fifth. Nobody in
middle relief is reliable.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
HOLY SHIT NAPOLI
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
He was out
Quit bitching La Russa
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
that was Molina-like
madtown - October 27, 2011
starlin castro is laughing his ass off right now
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
That was a nice play by Beltre right now too.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Lots of Goats in this game...
LT - October 27, 2011
Napoli turns me on.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
hee hee.
I was just thinking that…
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I want them to implode like 1985
and show the true Cardinal colors.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
2nd greatest fans in the entire world
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
TLR
“Only Molina can do that. I have the paperwork.”
timh815 - October 27, 2011
When did the rangers pick up Marmol?
epsilon - October 27, 2011
Oh, they have Marmol.
But it’s not Ogando, it’s definitely Neftali. Christ.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
ouch
madtown - October 27, 2011
IT'S NICK FUCKIN PUNTO!!!!
WHY WALK HIM
WHY
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Put it on a tee for him
he wont do anything with it. Ogando blows
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Ogando can't throw strikes right now.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
ogando's got money on this going to 7
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
They are all in for tonight.
Holland is going in.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
...
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Seriously, another walk
Yep, this Game 6 has been interesting
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
Again
that’s why Lewis pitched the 5th
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I can understand walking
Pujols or Berkman.But Molina and Punto? Shouldnt be afraid to take something off the fastball against those guys
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I don't think it was a choice.
He couldn’t find the plate.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I still can’t believe the Cardinals made the playoffs, nevertheless the World Series.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
carlos marmol believes
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Yeah I hate Carlos Marmol for that
I am fine if Theo dumps him
bheidge - October 27, 2011
That's someone we can get something back for.
And we should.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I'm having trouble believing either of these teams
were over .500.
Entertaining, but hardly baseball at its highest level.
Josh Timmers - October 27, 2011
kid's tough
daily2b - October 27, 2011
9 walks and 5 errors between the two teams
bheidge - October 27, 2011
They'll never make
the Freshman team.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
lol
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Young caught it
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Do you guys foresee a major overhaul to the major league roster?
lexmarklover - October 27, 2011
Nope
Not enough guys other teams want
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I think a 28% turnover rate
which is 7 players.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
I can see some middle people going
we’ll have to keep the bad contracts although we might be lucky enough to move Z to the marlins. We should keep Castro, Garza, Soto and possibly Byrd. Maybe Barney, depending on what else we have. I’m really okay with losing the rest.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
It won't be that many.
You are forgetting guys like Marshall, Russell who were very good. Campagna is an ideal 5th outfielder. Dempster will be back, as will Cashner and Wells.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
I did forget about other pitchers you are right
Keep wells, marshall and cashner.
I like Campagna particularly if we can teach him how to walk. Can you imagine?
I love Demp, and would like him back for sentimental reasons. But if he went I’d be okay. Sort of how I feel about Rami.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I think Rami will stay.
Give him another year but less money per year.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
WE could do worse until Vitters is ready
But his glory days are past. I will always love Rami though.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Or Baez if we wait two years.
He may pass Vitters
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
matt holliday's got a boo boo
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
He's like the anti-Napoli.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
and beltre went pew pew
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
BELTRE!!!!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Wow, Beltre
What an entertaining game even if it is sloppy
LT - October 27, 2011
I am very entertained

Hammer - October 27, 2011
boom
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Beltre went boom
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
And Descalso or Theriot will pinc hit in the 7th

Let's not quit there, lets go Rangers
Get some insurance

lexmarklover - October 27, 2011

and here comes Napoli
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I wonder if the Rangers celebrating outside their dugout irks the other team?
lexmarklover - October 27, 2011
Who cares?
They are 9 outs from winning their first world series. They SHOULD be cheering. Loudly.

daily2b - October 27, 2011
Why do I get the sense Matt Holliday is kinda a little bitch?
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
But he'll be in StL
Long time
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Has it always been that way
or just since he got to St Louis?
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I've seen him do MANY stupid things on a baseball field...
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Where is that picture
vs the Dodgers?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
it's obviously true.
Napoli twisted his ankle SIDEWAYS in a way that looked like a sure break or ligament damage and walked it off. Holliday left a make or break game in the world series because of a BRUISED finger. And has done nothing this series. I’m glad he’s a Cardinal so I can hate on him a long time.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
did you say matt holliday?
jesus christos - October 27, 2011

Ryan "Mr. Right Side Of The Rivalry" Theriot is coming in?
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
As much as I couldn’t wait for this horrific 2011 Chicago Cubs season to be over, it’s always bittersweet when the season ends. I hate not having baseball to watch.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I agree with this so much.
But love that I’m actually excited about the team for next year. And we’ll get news this offseason that will be fun to talk about. New manager, new players. I am stoked.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I've been in a REAL good mood lately...
daily2b - October 27, 2011
Me too.
Doesn’t hurt that I’m surrounded by Red Sox fans at work and we talk about this once a day. :D
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I am with you both
but if ever there was an offseason that will fly by I think it will be this one. Very excited to see what transpires.

7-4 woohoo!
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
i wish kinsler was a cub
he’s a monster
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
I wish Hamilton was still....
just kidding. There’s a couple guys on the Rangers I really like watching and Kinsler is definitely one of them.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
I wish we had good players.
::sigh::
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
We have a couple
And we’ll get more. #theo
slcathena - October 27, 2011
on the bright side demp got to 200 innings again!
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
OK, one more time.
Don’t stop now, get more insurance runs.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Wonder how Angels fans feel
seeing Napoli tear it up in the playoffs. Good trade sending him out and bringing back Vernon Wells.
bheidge - October 27, 2011
omar minaya will lead the angels to the promised land
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Cardinals are falling apart
Hammer - October 27, 2011
It's about time.
They have been playing like a MUCH BETTER TEAM than they are for a while now.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
you can only make it so far on just hope and a prayer
please dont screw it up now Texas
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Idea
Get the first two guys out here.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
On a side note
This dude can sing
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
Yeah...
and there’s just something a little extra about hearing a serviceman/woman signing the National Anthem or God Bless America.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
as much as I hate this song in the 7th innning!!
he sure can sing
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Whatever happened to "take me out to the ballgame"?
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Might be done...
during the commercial break. I don’t think its as big a deal for the TV audience in places other than Wrigley.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
I just realized I'm really going to take pleasure in St. Louis losing.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I realized that
about 25 years ago.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
Best way to kill momentum!!
God Bless America
Lame
Hammer - October 27, 2011
theriot grounding out to 2b on the first pitch would be poetic justice
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Give him some credit...
I say the second pitch.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
good call
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
boom
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Would you settle...
for a pop out to 2B?
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
is it just me
or does Holland absolutely hum it to first
IowaCubsWS09 - October 27, 2011
It's not just you
that would have been tough to hit.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
almost feel bad for the 1b
bheidge - October 27, 2011
he does a beast Arnold Scwatrzenwhatever impersonation
Hammer - October 27, 2011
I don’t know if Washington is a good manager. But I sure do enjoy watching him work.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
anybody's fun to watch
when they do as much yay as he does
IowaCubsWS09 - October 27, 2011
He's totally crazy.
But it’s paying off.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
me too
Hammer - October 27, 2011
i wanna see a tootblan!
epsilon - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Pujols looks hurt
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
$300mill heals all wounds
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
does 200 million???
No fricken way he touches 300
Hammer - October 27, 2011
fine
an annual payout of $28mill+ heals all wounds
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Would love for the Cards to do that.
IowaCubsWS09 - October 27, 2011
agreed
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Is it just me..
or does Albert run a bit like an old man?
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Albert is an old man
or maybe just a long year
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Yes, I think he is hurt.
That will be his excuse after he flees the locker room after the game, leaving Lynn to talk to reporters.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
I think that's a reason
we should tread very cautiously there. I may be alone in this but I’m not really a fan of going out to get either Pujols or Fielder.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
yeah me either
better off without either in the long run
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I could see Fielder for 5 years
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Fielder will be 50 lbs heavier in 5 years.
And will age before his time. We should look for younger talent, it will be cheaper and have far more upside
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Yeah...
the only problem there is there’s no way he’ll get less than 6 years and will likely get 7.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Then push up the $ and let someone else take him.
Same thing with Pujols. At least act like we are interested, kame others pay more.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
He's Dominican
I think that automatically adds 3 years to the age he claims to be
Barkman - October 27, 2011
Don't let Al see this. He'll spaz out about this.
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
I rec'd it
want to make it stick out a lil more
bheidge - October 27, 2011
You are not alone.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Al's reply will be "Sigh." And once again I'll call for it to be banned from BCB
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Last Pujols at bat as a Cardinal?
He goes into history as only one of three to hit three homers is a world series game, and goes hit less in the rest of the series.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
My grandfather who turns 80 in Feb...
I love that I get an email from him – “R U watching this?”
Love it – the old guy sent it from his iPad
Hammer - October 27, 2011
That's awesome.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
and he changed the sig to
“Sent by magic from my iPad”
Guys still got it
Hammer - October 27, 2011
I miss my grandfathers so much.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
rec'd
Ill share this with him.. He is a good friend and I love talking baseball with him.
Hammer - October 27, 2011
Thank you.
I wish I could watch this game with them. You’re lucky to have such a great grandfather.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Glad you are aware of how lucky you are
and hope you enjoy talking baseball with him for many years to come.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
thanks I do
Cannot wait for spring training again in Feb
Hammer - October 27, 2011
My grandfather
was a Dodger fan his whole life so I felt bad cheering for the Giants last year. But I think as a former pitcher himself, like me, he’d have appreciated watching good pitching beating good hitting.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
Awwww.
My grandfather was a Yankees fan, but whenever he talked to me he always professed a love of the Cubs. That man was awesome.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Whenever the kid in the iPhone commercial asks "what does a weasel look like"
I always say, “he’s in the Cardinals dugout, sitting next to Dave Duncan.”
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Pujols should go to the Al
Hammer - October 27, 2011
This.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Read or heard somewhere..
that the Rangers are thinking of making a big push to get him.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
That's a smart move.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
we'll take mitch moreland, please
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
is Mitch Zonk's kid?
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
no relation
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Sorry St. Louis Fans
Carlos Marmol is not warming up in the Bullpen for Texas, nice ride though
parrotinct - October 27, 2011
Have you seen Neftali Feliz pitch?
You might want to retract that statement.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
and it's time for the joe buck-pujols love fest
ugh
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
I'll bet McCarver is still PO'd that he made the last out of the 1968 World Series
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Eh.
I’d be PO’d about that. That’s a thing that sticks with you. I dislike the man because he’s a terrible announcer, but he should probably still be pissed about that if he was a pro ball player.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Holland to finish,
if he’s scoreless here.
timh815 - October 27, 2011
I think Pujols is getting an unfair rap this Series.
Before tonight he was OPSing over 1.200 this series, but I think the media is blaming him for a poor team showing.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
outside of game 3
pujols hasn’t done jack
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Agreed, he has not had a hit in any other game.
He was a stud in a nine run blowout and has done nothing in all the close games.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Pujols is the only Cardinal I like.
He’s an epic player.
But this isn’t his series. Napoli and Beltre have shone here. And if I were a Cardinal fan, Allen Craig would be my dude.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Bullshit, he's got on base like 6 times.
He’s not getting shit to hit, but he was on base multiple times in two games besides his 3-homer game.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Ok, by that analogy Pena was a top 1st baseman last year.
Of course it is not his fault that the players behind him have not picked up the slack. The Cubs could take a few lessons and NOT pitch to Albert.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
If that happened, it would most likely be Phillies vs Rangers.
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
LOL, and Quade might be coming back.
I jest of course.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Strawman.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
BTW, I hated Berkman before
but during game 1 when they mentioned that he NICKNAMED HIMSELF the “big puma” it went to a whole new level of jackassery.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
he'll always be Fat Elvis to me
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Pork & Beans to me
bheidge - October 27, 2011
No way man, THE BIG PUMA is one of my 5 favorite baseball nicknames ever. I think Lance would be a totally cool dude to get beer and whisky shots with.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I bet he'd break a bottle over your head around 1 AM
shoemile - October 27, 2011
and then he'd fake getting hit in the head with the other bottle
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
God that'd be an awesome fucking story.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
It's a great nickname
BUT YOU CAN’T GIVE IT TO YOURSELF.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
It's like a cardinal rule of nicknames.
No pun intended.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I want to be called T-Bone
bheidge - October 27, 2011
'Sup T-Bone!?
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
gammy gammy gammy
LT - October 27, 2011
Well done, T-Bone.
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
All the nicknames in the world
and you go for a steak.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Yay
Swing at first pitch
timh815 - October 27, 2011
For the record
Allen Craig has over performed.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Napoli
or Craig
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Obvi Napoli.
But if you’re a Cards fan, is there someone who has done better for you in this series than Craig?
slcathena - October 27, 2011
if this was the NBA...
you can be sure the Knicks would sign him for 5 years and $55M.
God I hate the lockout.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
I have been pretty pissed at the NBA for years
so the lockout only bothers me on the nights that the Bruins aren’t playing.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Is there an NBA season?
I thought it was only the playoffs. This also hurts the Bulls and helps the veteran teams since they won’t have to play as many games. If they ever get it settled.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Very true.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Damn it Texas
You have to close this game out
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
4 outs left.
Don’t blow it now.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
LOLLAIRD
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
so glad the Tigers let him walk and signed VMart to take his place
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Oh God.
If this is Feliz I am not confident.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
*pshew*
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Pretty good game.
shoemile - October 27, 2011
Mike "Don't Call Me Gomez" Adams in to pitch...
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
make me not hate the lack of a marmol trade, adams
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Devestating double clutch.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
theriot was staring at andrus during that play
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Uh oh
shoemile - October 27, 2011
Don't let them back in this game
Precisely what they’re doing.
Ace Venom - October 27, 2011
why would andrus double clutch that?
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
the ghost of...
Theriot?
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
because they've been playing the world series
like it’s won by who has the most errors all night But that was a terrible mental mistake.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
omg. omg.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Please get him out of there
I don’t want the Cardinals to win. :(
Ace Venom - October 27, 2011
boy oh boy oh boy.
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
still got my defibrillator from the bulls-heat series
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
Very nice
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
Wait, what.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Thats in my garage
made the sign myself. I’ve had it for a couple years, I think I’m realizing now I’ve never posted a picture of it.
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
Holy shit that’s incredible. Awesome. Well done sir.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I've always thought about making them
for like sports bars and stuff. If anyone would want one I’d make another, I would have to look up how much it would cost cause I don’t remember.
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
And thank your sir haha
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
I'd put that in my living room!!! sweet!
cooliogirl47 - October 28, 2011
Yes!!!
LT - October 27, 2011
Whew!
3 to go!
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
hahahahahahahaaa!
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
He's out
Yay!
Ace Venom - October 27, 2011
Furcal is a loser
destined to fail and take everyone with him
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I don't like him
but didn’t the Cards season turn around about the time they traded for Furcal?
LT - October 27, 2011
And took Theriot out of the line up.
Of course that was around when Freese got back also.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Only thing he did was come up with their
stupid little “Happy Flight” motto on getaway days
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Oh Thank God.
GO RANGERS!!!!!!!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Funk Furcal
LT - October 27, 2011
Ah...
swinging at the first pitch with the bases loaded. That’s good baseball.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
I credit TLR
that man is a genius
bheidge - October 27, 2011
TLR is a genius of himself.
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
thank you furcalling, Rafeal
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
dear mike adams
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Awesome
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
Theriot leads off
the B9.
Down more than 1.
With Pujols to follow.
Will it be a strike he swings at first pitch?
timh815 - October 27, 2011
If he swings before he gets a strike he should be immediately released.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
My guess...
Ball, Swing and miss on high and tight, foul, grounder to short.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
I cannot stress enough how much I dislike Ryan Theriot.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
No pesky single?
Seriously I think he gets on base and TOOTBLANs ahead of a Pujols homer. It would be justice.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Obviously after that 2 more people get out and the Cards lose by 1.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Who designed J. Edgar's dresses in the new movie Eastwood directed?
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Who is due up for Cards in bottom?
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
Riot
Pujols
Berkman
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Scappy Doo, the 200 Million Dollar Man and Fat Elvis/Pork & Beans/Big Puma
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Well said, T-Bone.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I thought T-Bone always wanted to be called
bheidge.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Call me anything but Koko the monkey
bheidge - October 27, 2011
K-uger K-uger
Sounds like one of those old time car horns.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
why no t-bone??
LT - October 27, 2011
He is going to change is name to T-Bone.
It should be mandatory if the Rangers win.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
T-Bone is probably already registered
It would have to be something like T-Bone211983312. If thats the case, I think the name loses all of its mojo
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Ahh, that is too bad.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
because the steaks are too high?
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Puma steaks?
slcathena - October 27, 2011
with a side of pork 'n beans
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
......
bheidge - October 27, 2011
theriot is going to piss me off
i just know it
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
pesky single
tootblan.
You’ll only be pissed off briefly.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
if he hits a home run
i will not be responsible for the things i type
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
If he hits a homerun
I will miss the rest of the game after throwing something at my TV.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
No he's not
He is going to fail and fail spectacularly.
Theo will make sure it happens.
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
I like how Theo can just do anything now.
New motto:
In Theo We Trust.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I like how they tried to show
theriot, pujols and berkman and couldn’t find berkman. That was awesome.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
he heard a lightning storm was in the area
bheidge - October 27, 2011
Hiking up your pants and wearing team-colored socks should be an MLB mandate.
I love it. I just do.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I can't see it on all players
but I definitely prefer the pants up
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
Aramis and Zambrano kinda looked like fools
when they did it
bheidge - October 27, 2011
The fool part actually has nothing to do with their clothing.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Better than the pajama bottom look, although I'm partial to stirrups-and-socks look of the 70s-80s
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
First thing I'd do...
if I was commissioner.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Er...
meant to reply to dtpollitt
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Oh boy...
here we go.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Here we go folks.....
LT - October 27, 2011
If...
Scrappy Doo gets on and Poo-hole knocks one out to tie it, I might eat my left arm.
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
Well..
here’s hoping they don’t. Or at the least, that you’re right handed.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
All I can say is
If the Cubs are ever in the position that either of these teams are in right now it would be AWESOME. But I would be an absolute wreak.
Mapmaker - October 27, 2011 via mobile
WHEN the Cubs are in this position
I am going to lose my shit. But I will not be posting on BCB for it, because I will be at Wrigley. There if I"m lucky enough, but outside as close as I can if necessary.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I will be there.
in the stadium or out, home or away game.
Lweb23 - October 27, 2011
I will be on the street if I have to
but I am saving up days off work for that.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Anyone know a good shrink??
Sounds like BCB will need one if Scrappy Poo does anything good this inning….
LT - October 27, 2011
i don't trust feliz
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Fuck you Fox.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Beat me to it
For the love of Christ, they just HAD to do that…
Enjoy it while you can.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
They have to pimp the Cubs even when we are happy.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Gee thanks fox
got it in there
LT - October 27, 2011
obligatory 103 years reference
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
oh, thanks for THAT graphic.
bah.
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
and I'm sure Joe Buck just loved showing the longest drought graphic
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Three more outs
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
Ah...
there it is, glad Fox didn’t disappoint us there with that graphic.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
They shouldn't even include
the Cubs on those longest drought lists anymore.
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
theo erased the records
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
when the Cubs win the pennant, that will leave
the Nats and the Mariners as the only teams who haven’t gotten to the World Series in my lifetime.
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
lolz people in St. Louis are cheering for Theriot.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
THROW THOSE PITCHES HE CAN"T HIT
LT - October 27, 2011
TY
LT - October 27, 2011
Riot still think
he’s a pull hitter?
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
I can't wait
until we ram a world series title down their throat. Theo is livid somewhere.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
He probably has one of those sinister laughs going.....
LT - October 27, 2011
K!
98 mph fastball!
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
Lay off of those high ones...
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Yes, Thank You Ryan
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
Awww, no TOOTBLANS From Riot!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Theriot doing it the right way
Mapmaker - October 27, 2011 via mobile
LOOK AT THAT MARMOL
DO THAT
HSJFSDADSFF
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Please tell me I'm not dreaming
The Cardinals are about to lose the World Series…at home. I’m so giddy I can hardly type.
sicubsfan - October 27, 2011
Not so fast my friend
LT - October 27, 2011
Not yet...
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
Hah!
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
dammit!
I was hoping for the golden sombrero for Pujols.
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
Damn it!
Ugh, Feliz is a (expletive)
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
a Marmol?
slcathena - October 27, 2011
He's pulling a Marmol?
That could catch on
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
It's pithy
It makes sense.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Cat?
No, that’s some other dude.
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
I am pretty sure
Pujols getting a hit doesn’t make a pitch an expletive. Theriot on the other hand….
Section 312 - October 27, 2011
If he had had someone more competent hitting in front of him
that might have scored a run.
As it stands, I think this game ends with Pujols on 2nd.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Or, worst case
Berkman driving in a run that doesn’t matter.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Aw shit.

I can’t watch…yet.
sicubsfan - October 27, 2011
There should be a "Lose Cards Lose" song.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Somehow it should have "Most TOOTBLANS in the National League"
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
I wrote a verse.
And then that happened. And now I can’t post it. I’ll save it hopefully for later. :(
slcathena - October 27, 2011

I wonder...
what the ratings for tonight’s game look like.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
PG 13 for violent defensive plays
LT - October 27, 2011
NC17 for language.
sicubsfan - October 27, 2011
and Marmol
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Ruth Ryan is hot
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
If this was Marmol and the Cubs I’d be passed out by now.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
gotta throw one down the plate
if you’re gonna get ’em to swing.
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
Yep
This is like watching Marmol pitch a ninth
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
exactly the same
bheidge - October 27, 2011
exactly. yikes!
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
omg.
heart attack.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
that foul: heart attack #6 of the inning
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
Throw strikes dumbass
Mapmaker - October 27, 2011 via mobile
I told you.
He is functionally Marmol. But with a 100 fastball instead of a sick slider.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Red?
is that you?
drewishdrewid - October 27, 2011
Cardinals fans tears taste like Candy
I need my fix. Get it done Rangers

sicubsfan - October 27, 2011
"RUNG"
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
Man...
I can’t believe how nervous I am hoping for the Cardinals to lose.
I hope when the Cubs are where the Rangers are that they’re crushing whoever it may be 17 to 2 or something like that.
CubFan81 - October 27, 2011
the cubs will still make it interesting
jesus christos - October 27, 2011
COME ON RANGERS!
ONE MORE!
MMA42 - October 27, 2011
Since we don't have a "Lose Cards Lose" song
are we allowed to play “Go Cubs Go” after this? I know it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but…
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Its 9 minutes until my birthday (east coast time)
I hope I can start the celebration with a Cards loss momentarily.
Julio Zuleta's Voodoo - October 27, 2011 via iPhone app
Hamilton's HR came just seconds after the clock struck midnight.
Great birthday present! Hope its enough this time.

why is Cruz still in right in the 9th up by 2?

jesus christos - October 27, 2011
THE RANGERS GOT MARMOLED!!!!!!
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Fastball right down the shitter

either go for the ball or play it off the wall
LT - October 27, 2011
Cruz knows better than that. what the hell?
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
Got caught up in the moment.

mrtobby - October 27, 2011
Cards will win this one now
bheidge - October 27, 2011
No way.
I refuse to believe that. Napoli will solidify the MVP, and I will finish writing Lose Cards Lose.
Please????
slcathena - October 27, 2011
no they won't.
Rangers are just toying with their heart strings.
mrtobby - October 27, 2011
They can't possibly win with Theriot double clutching a throw to Pujols from 10 feet away.

I’m goin’ to bed. Go Rangers.

Fisher King is so good
I watched Brazil when I was younger and didn’t get it.
Will def give it another try someday.
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
I dont know about Fisher King
but Kingfisher is a pretty decent beer,
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I'm hoping Gilliam completes "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" someday
He was set to film it ten years ago, but a horrible monsoon in Spain washed away all the sets. Then the lead actor suffered a serious back injury falling off his horse on the first day of shooting.
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Adventures of Baron Munchausen
is Gilliam’s best movie as far as I’m concerned. What a great flick
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
I'd rank my favorite Gilliam flicks as...
1) Brazil
2) 12 Monkeys
3) The Fisher King
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
every pitching move by Washington has failed
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
Lewis to start the fifth
and Holland in the sixth were okay
timh815 - October 27, 2011
agreed, that worked
then, the bullpen moves, not so much
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
That's not true.
Ogando and Feliz, predictably failed. The rest were quite good.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
he should not have taken Holland out
the guy was cruising, shitty D failed Holland
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
And the 8/9 guys were like, awesome in the regular season.
dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
Yep.
Feliz is just a bit of a head case and sort of a wild phenom. Like Carlos. It was predictable drama.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
there is no predictability with Carlos
you know he’s going to fail
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
If Deion Sanders was flitting around my living room
I’d either grab a can of Raid or swat him with a heavy book.

Fangraphs live went from 96% change Rangers winning to

Now the rangers will swing for a homerun

bheidge - October 27, 2011
it's the cubs way!
jesus christos - October 27, 2011

They are gonna pitch him hard and in or soft and away. And that they better not miss in.

And i clicked on here to get an update.
It was a stream of "homerun!’ messages.
What a great feeling even if i did miss seeing it live.
AussieCub - October 27, 2011
I'm pretty sure someone MIGHT show a replay of Hamilton's homer
maybe…
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011

If we can’t win, at least let them lose at home.

Yep, I was at the September 24 game.
This one’s personal.
sicubsfan - October 27, 2011
Overlooked by major networks, this has been a very good WS. Could not care less that the major cities are not involved.
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
Edit - well, wish the Cubs were there :)
scottsdalecubs - October 27, 2011
agreed
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
Totally agree
This is a great series
slcathena - October 27, 2011
Only if the Cardinals lose.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
then it becomes one of the greatest
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
Can't be because they were still in it.
If they lose Cardinal fans will still throw that in our faces.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
you're probably right
“At least we were there” neener neener
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
"best fans in baseball" = best fantasy in baseball

anyone can say they're the best fans in baseball
Cubs fans know they are!!!! nyuk nyuk nyuk

Hey, anyone can cheer for a winner....
It takes cojones to do what we do year after year!
sicubsfan - October 27, 2011
No, the Phillies have the best fans if you like to be showered with batteries.
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
No.
It just becomes the best we had this year.
The greatest is a couple years away when we win. :)

bheidge - October 27, 2011
I swear to God.
1) if Theriot wins this game I will vomit.
2) Can they stop treating pujols like a demi-god? He’s a clearly injured 1st baseman who has been less than clutch in 5 games.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
No he won't. Tootblan is being pulled.
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
Theriot would need a home run to win
nough said

Well said.
I lost myself there.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
I swear I just heard them say Theriot is coming out.
ubercubsfan - October 27, 2011
For who?
Didn’t they exhaust their bench?
slcathena - October 27, 2011

It's Theriot.

Washington State where I live is one of the few still in the package store business
The only place you can get the hard stuff is in a state owned store. They are few and far between and they close at 9. There’s a citizen initiative that would privatize sales. Costco have spent millions on this so every other commercial is how to vote. I bet lots of folks are filling out the mail in ballots tonight. After this game, I just want to walk to the store and get a bottle!

I’d walk Pujols.

Dear Ryan,
You fucked up so many times and broke my heart so many times. I demand you do it again now, when I need you to. Thanks,

Really.
Even if Berkman wins the game you have game 7.

Epic moment.

I gotta step away for a minute.
Maybe this nightmare will be over when I get back.

YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
True, this is what baseball is all about.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
this is just plain nuts
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
What a great end.
slcathena - October 27, 2011

The riot a hound out RBI.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - October 27, 2011
I hate the Rangers for this
bheidge - October 27, 2011
I sort of love baseball for this.
Not going to lie. But I really want the Cards to lose.

dtpollitt - October 27, 2011 via mobile
game 7 will be anti-climactic to this
VegasCubFan - October 27, 2011
Maybe not
1991 game 7 was epic after Puckett’s dramatic walk-off homer in game 6.
Julio Zuleta's Voodoo - October 27, 2011 via iPhone app
Incredible drama
I know you guys are up late but its 2.20pm in the afternoon for me. What a way to start the weekend.

It's not just this year though
it’s always. And they do dumb things. Like pinch hit TWO pitchers, wtf?
slcathena - October 27, 2011
If stupidity is rewarded
maybe we should keep Quade
bheidge - October 27, 2011
it's only rewarded for the cardinals.
I hate them for it.

It is the guy that will lose game six
of the 2011 World Series. Or better yet, win it with two innings of scoreless relief.

People might rag on the NBA
but one thing is for sure. That might be the only team sport where the best team in the league usually wins the championship.

It’s also the sport that requires the least amount of ‘team’ to win.

EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
If the league was fixed
Lebron and Co. would have won the championship
bheidge - October 27, 2011
they're just building up the suspense
EalyEagle - October 27, 2011
Bench update
Torrealba/Treanor////Gonzalez Harrison Wilson
Boggs Carpenter Rhodes
timh815 - October 27, 2011
Do the bring in carpenter if Westbrook gets in trouble?
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - October 27, 2011
They can't they have to keep him for tomorrow.
Otherwise it would be a complete bullpen game. Rangers have Wilson warming up.
jpeters407 - October 27, 2011
This is f-ing nuts.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - October 27, 2011
The rangers should put in wilson.
if they get through this, for the top of the order.
Harrison is slated to pitch tomorrow.

They’re like the villains in horror movies. You can shoot them, stab them, decapitate them, throw them out a 40th story window, burn them, drown them, but OH NO, THEY’RE STILL FREAKING ALIVE!!!!
I should be given some sort of award for not cursing, because I haven’t been this furious since they won in 2006.

I know where I would put my money

Just ask the 1975 World Champion Boston Red Sox. The Reds had no chance of winning after the Fisk HR.

But I agree, it’s not a given that StL wins tomorrow night.

AND BTW, that is why baseball will always be the best game because no matter wut the score is or wut innig they r in, anyone can win…No BS clocks! God Bless baseball!! i luv this game!!
Go Rangers.lol

I hate the cards.
That is all.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - October 27, 2011
The rangers had the wrong pitchers in.
Both times that happened.
And instead of having wilson ready this inning they went with Lowe. Kill me. So dumb. Almost as dumb as TLR burning his bullpen on bunts – not that anyone will ever admit that.
slcathena - October 27, 2011
If there is any justice in the sports world
The home team must lose game 7

No, that was on Sept 12
The Cardinal were like 12-1 at the start of the season.

bheidge - October 27, 2011
Yes.
And as enjoyable as it is to watch, its annoying when its the Cardinals
cubsfaninatl - October 28, 2011
Cards very fortunate
Some bloop hits, ump calls in their favor, and a bad play by Andrus. Hopefully the Rangers come back tomorrow and take it.
propheteer - October 27, 2011
this is how the Cards have ALWAYS won. they aren't fortunate, that's just how Tony LaRussa teams win.
bloop hits and shallow line drives with less than two outs, then doubles and homers.
kpd - October 28, 2011
Correct
TJ11 - October 28, 2011
As much as I hate the Cardinals, I have to say this about the Rangers
They had a bigger Game 6 choke than we could dream of having. I don’t see the Cardinals losing Game 7 after this win tonight. The bullpen didn’t execute. The defense didn’t execute. Ron Washington overmanaged. It was a clusterfrack all around.
Ace Venom - October 28, 2011
Quite a remarkable meltdown by the Rangers. I think it's the worst ever.
scottsdalecubs - October 28, 2011
Ok, did anybody NOT see this coming? This game opitimized the St Louis Cardinals and Tony LaRussa
Tony LaRussa teams have one thing in common every single year: the ability to rally via the line drive and the shallow line drive. Tony’s teams, when trailing in the 7th inning or later, always seem to hit a flair liner into the outfield. They do this until they’ve got somebody on 2nd with less than two outs. Then comes the home run. They also always seem to have random dudes who are awful (like Aaron Miles) sign a 1 year deal and hit .300 until leaving the following year and sucking again.
I don’t care if we’d have to pay out the ass. Tony LaRussa needs to be managing the Cubs next year.
kpd - October 28, 2011
A frickin' team of destiny...
…starting from the day Marmol unleashed that game ending wild pitch in St. Louis.
Easy Ed - October 28, 2011
The Cubs horribleness did play a small part in this.......
Marmol and Quade for leaving him in should get a small thank you…..
TJ11 - October 28, 2011
The best game I have ever seen!!!!!!!
I hope the Cardinals win it all tonight
TJ11 - October 28, 2011
definitely one for the vaults
Some of my other all-time favorite games are
Yankees-Red Sox 1978 Playoff
Game 6 1986 NLCS
Cubs-Cards 9/9/89
Tigers-Blue Jays last game of 1987
