the rangers are going to lose this game.  what a joke.  i like washington's philosophy on most things, but i've felt that his use of pitching has cost the rangers all year long.

i don't know why Washington keeps going to Oliver in big situations.  this could get ugly.  bases loaded, 0 outs.  Now the pitcher that should've already been in has to come in in a near-impossible situation.  so glad Oliver could come in and let two batters walk from their less-comfortable side of the plate.  

i know he had a good season, but i cringe every time oliver comes in in a big situation.  i don't understand why we aren't seeing O'day.  Nobody hits him well.

great outing by CJ wilson.

i hate to see a ground ball to the 1st basemen end up as a run.  yankees down 5-2, runner on 2nd, 0 outs.

sounds like a good one!

great bounceback by CJ.  5-1 going to the bottom of the 7th.  now it's time for the rangers to put it away.

yup.  Cano is a beast.

Hip, Hip, Jorge!  (Cantu, not that Posada d-bag)

we appreciate the updates, coog.

looks like FWOOD is coming back. 

dang.

i don't have any feelings towards either team, but i'd like for LCM to not mess up my pickems :)

Two 1-pitch outs for CJ in the 6th mean we might just be seeing him in the 8th!

[quote name="(13)" post="876071" timestamp="1287194904"] either one of yall remember that playoff, maybe against the Red Sox, that all those gnats or mayflies or some flying insect was flying all around Joba chamberlain's head and face?  That was a hoot [/quote] that was funny.  maybe God isn't as big of a yankee fan as some new yorkers think.

that's why i'm a moderator, and you're still just a commoner  ;D

blown opportunity by BC.

i'm pretty sure the announcer just gave some credit to texas hitting coach "Clint Turtle".

did the yankees switch pitchers?  looks like CC, part two.

You should see the home run deck they are building in left field........ Plus got a new batting cage that was throw down for the girls. Sorry but back to the game. [/quote] and i just figured out who you are :)  good to have you back!  i was proud of the girls!!! 

CJ at 74 pitches should be good for at least 7, maybe 8 innings if he can avoid any major trouble.

[/quote] well that was 30 years ago [/quote] also, it wasn't against the yankees...

[quote name="(13)" post="876026" timestamp="1287194138"] CC, 2nd shortest outing in his postseason history.  c ya CC, don't you come back [/quote] heck, the way he looked tonight, they can start him every game of the series for all i care :)

[/quote] Seriously? Bullets have to hand it to you bc you are one of the better mods on here. Appreicate your objectvity sp and not yanking our chains on comments. [/quote] i have too much fun dishing it out, and if i'm gonna dish it out, i'm gonna take it as well, which i've been doing a lot of this year as a longhorn/cowboy fan.  i'm a big time sports fan, but don't hold too many local allegiances beyond HJ basketball, so i don't get all upset when people talk a little trash on some of the local programs.   and yes, [b]i'm sure i'm viewing it through homer eyes[/b], but i thought a couple of called strikes in the 5th could've been balls for the rangers, and a couple of balls in the 5th could've been strikes, including the curve that granderson took before eventually walking :)
