The Rangers haven't looked Ranger-esque yet.

I feel another 9-run inning coming on. (But gosh, I hope not.)

Playing on the road!

This is true. It's also been pretty chilly here in the midwest.

by Kyleo84 on Oct 20, 2011 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions

Man, are the playoffs still going?

by FaceRuiner on Oct 20, 2011 5:26 PM PDT reply actions

If this was the NBA the first round would just be ending.

Speaking of the NBA…hahaha.

I'm so glad I was too young to understand what was happening during the MLB strikes

by FaceRuiner on Oct 20, 2011 5:36 PM PDT up reply actions

Agreed. That was about the year before I got interested in MLB.

The really sucky part was that there's nothing else going on in the summer.

Without baseball it’s just endless stories about NFL workouts.

Think Joe & Tim realize that 'Puma' was a joke?

Did Kinsler touch Beltre's head before the game or something?

by drblacknwhite on Oct 20, 2011 6:03 PM PDT reply actions

The Mariners' Beltre has returned!

Lance Berkman is a very bad runner...

by FaceRuiner on Oct 20, 2011 6:09 PM PDT reply actions

He was conserving energy.

by Zewerr on Oct 20, 2011 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Wasn't there early talk about this series being high-scoring?

by msb on Oct 20, 2011 6:18 PM PDT reply actions

Did I hear that right?

One of the Cardinals players has that squirrel in his locker?

Until the Rangers wins and he sets it free before shooting himself

Stupid Texas. That was a damn good play.

That was pretty decent.

This is why people hate baseball.

I'm liking this World Series. Good baseball.

I just wish I gave a shit about the teams.

by truemsfan on Oct 20, 2011 6:49 PM PDT reply actions

Do the Rangers have a good defensive first baseman?

How bout that?

Allen Craig: World Series MVP

Allen Craig and David Freeze. Ok then.

Allen Craig: Ogando killer.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 7:08 PM PDT reply actions

I hope the Ogando/ Craig matchup decides every game this series.

by wetzelcoal on Oct 20, 2011 7:08 PM PDT reply actions

And that Ogando's confidence is shot as a result and ruins him forever/until he leaves the Rangers.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh, Adrian.

by FaceRuiner on Oct 20, 2011 7:10 PM PDT reply actions

He's a born entertainer.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions

Once he retires, he could be a prop commedian.

by FaceRuiner on Oct 20, 2011 7:18 PM PDT up reply actions

Baseball is such a funny sport.

Freese, Craig, and Rzepczynski, are some of the biggest playoff heroes so far.

by Kyleo84 on Oct 20, 2011 7:24 PM PDT reply actions

Do you have those ESPN Moments clips they show in the ad breaks?

They’re all milestones like no-hitters, A-Rod and Trevor Hoffman’s 600s, Jose Bautista’s 50th last year (called by a certain mr. Niehaus), etc. But then there’s Johnny Damon hitting a walk-off homer against the M’s. There’s nothing special about it as far as I can tell, why’s it there? If they just wanted an example of a walk-off they could have picked a more exciting pair of teams.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 7:25 PM PDT reply actions

They had those on TBS haven't seen them on fox.

I am convinced that Seattle sports teams exist to make me hate Seattle sports teams.

by the other side on Oct 20, 2011 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Because the games are on so late we don't really get any actual adverts during them

So I see at least two of those clips every break.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 7:36 PM PDT up reply actions

I like watching Lando Berkman play. It's like he's not even trying.

by Zewerr on Oct 20, 2011 7:31 PM PDT reply actions

I don't think there's anyone on the Cardinals I dislike, other than La Russa.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 7:33 PM PDT up reply actions

Fernando Vina's always annoyed me.

by BigR on Oct 20, 2011 7:47 PM PDT up reply actions

Try not to fuck this up.

How come you can do all this other great shit, but you can't lie the fuck down and sleep?

I hate Elvis Andrus because in my eyes he's everything Yuni should have become.

I'm so glad I wasn't around when Yuni was good.

Venezuelan?

This isn't far fetched. I remember Yuni before the fat and general Yuniness.

Arthur Rhodes has always looked 38 years old.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't IBB Hamilton.

He's slumping and thought to be injured.

And it’s not like it gets any easier after him.

What a stupid way to score two runs.

It felt more like a good ol' fashioned Angeling.

by FaceRuiner on Oct 20, 2011 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions

I've been feeling that way about the Rangers for a while now.

Mostly due to how lucky they’ve got with their rotation. I also remember a fair few innings against the Mariners this year where they scored a not insignificant number of runs without any legitimate hits.

by Eyeball Kid on Oct 20, 2011 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions

Ugh

@Goose1701

This is Mariners' baseball.

I was wondering why this game felt so familiar.

I refuse to believe Laird is a fast runner.

He's not. But he's Molina is slower than concrete

Hopefully bad Feliz has shown up.

on the other hand...

Two players have been ejected after a massive brawl between UCLA and Arizona that spread more than halfway down the field. The fight started when a streaker ran onto the field and three players from each team started jawing at each other. Shoves followed and players from both teams raced onto the field, pushing each other and throwing wild punches in a melee that spread nearly 60 yards across the field.
