Give me a few minutes and I'll write a song entitled, "Reggie, Albert, and the Babe".

Is there a spot for him in the Red Sox lineup? Can he drink beer in a Gatorade cup, and eat Popeye chicken?

Fixed it for you!

And yes Chuck, I would agree, Albert had a career game. Remarkable!

In Heaven There Is No Beer, That's Why They Drink It In The Red Sox Dugout ...

Still needs fixing. Please change clubhouse to dugout.

Very impressive! And yes, just write a blank check and hand it to him.

By the same token, same can be said about the Rangers tonight. Great night by Holland - although, I thought Kulpa had a wide in/out zone tonight.

Nonetheless, looks like I'm going back to STL on Wednesday for Game 6.

I was in attendance for Game 1 and it was very impressive! Looking forward to it!!

I agree. Both Holliday and Freese didn't think much of his strike zone.

I'm jealous.

I was in attendance for Game 1 and it was very impressive! Looking forward to it!! Bring home a "W".

Go Cardinals!!

GREAT pitching performance by Holland last night for the Rangers. Cards went 0-4 with RISP, which is amazing for 2 reasons. 1) They only came to the plate 4 times with anybody on 2nd or 3rd; and obviously 2) they couldn't muster even one hit in those situations.

And, oh by the way, SportsCenter is saying that Joe Torre is going to look into the drinking in the Red Sox clubhouse. Why, exactly? Everybody has acknowledged it, and from what I've heard from other players, it seems to happen in most clubhouses. Even if it happened in the dugout, which everyone seems to deny, I'm not sure I see why MLB cares.

If a tree falls in the woods......
 
Amid high drama, low ratings serve as Series caveat ? USATODAY.com

From the article......

Heart-thumping drama. Historic performances. Epic meltdowns. Strategic maneuvers and misfires. Dropped phone calls. Rally squirrels, antlers and sitting ducks.

You name the element, and the World Series between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals has it.

So why in the name of Albert Pujols aren't more folks watching?

Because it is not on during the daytime when people at work can watch it.

Just when you thought it was over...EXTRA INNINGS!

APG Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:11pm

Hamilton unceremoniousnessly told 47,000 people to sit down and be quiet...one clutch hit deserves another.

APG Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:27pm

Just when I think it's over...it just keeps pulling me back in! :eek:

Wow. This is what baseball used to be. That is why I loved this game as a kid.

Peace

Pretty amazing stuff!

How about the guy in center field scrambling for THAT ball? Mantle or E-Bay?

Can it get any better for the last game.............? How could it?

Freese for Mayor!!

Because some of us get to work at night. I was able to follow the game on Yahoo. AND, I only set the DVR go 1 hour past the original end time. I can't wait to get off and go home watch as much of it as possible. I will be watching tonight since I am off for the remainder of the week.
However, nobody ain't won nuthin yet!!
