Yanx/Rangers ALCS IST

[Frayed Knot]

What suxx is the Rangers are out-hitting the Yanx so far (3 to 2) but aren't bunching their hits and threw in a costly GiDP.
Yanx, meanwhile, lumped 2 walks with 3 soft singles and the Rangers contributed by botching three potential throw-outs on the bases (two at the plate) but got none of them.

C'mon Rangers!

I have this fear that not winning game one is still going to bit the Rangers in the ass...

Yup.

Safe to say that CJ Wilson doesn't have the same stuff today as Swisher & Cano go back-to-back.
5-0 w/no outs in the 3rd.

[Willets Point]

The Rangers have shown they can score lots of runs in a short period of time so I'm not giving up on this game yet.

[Frayed Knot]

Rangers continue to out-hit the Yanx (now 11-7) but 5 of the Yanx' are for XBs vs 9 singles for Texas.
Doesn't help that they also threw 2 errors and 5 walks into the mix.

6-2 Yanx headed for the 7th ... and headed for 3-1/2+ hours again.

Washington just brought in a LHP I hadn't seen before. What has he got, like 7 lefties out there or something?

Kerry Wood in for CC Slobathia to start the 7th

[Willets Point]

Well I guess the series is over now.

The Rangers are done for.

The Yankees most certainly will hoist World Series trophy #28.

[Guest Kong76]

If the Texas can't take one of two at home to go to
the World Series they don't belong there.

I hope they do it in Game Six and just get it over with. They
are the better team.

The series is now tied 3-2.

Thames is one of the worst players I have seen yet he keeps gettings starts for Girardi, and with Posada starting it's more glaring.


Watch him hit 3 home runs tonight

[Frayed Knot]

Thames hit alright this year and has some power which makes him kind of a run-of-the-mill DH. And, for the most part, that's pretty much what DHs are these days. Except for Papi and maybe one or two others, the days of the really high-priced slugger in that position are gone. Even vets like Thome & Vlad are on contracts that are way down from their peaks.

Of course Thames is really just one of about four MFY DHs. They started with Nick Johnson but he got hurt (surprise!!). Then they went to Thames whenever Posada wasn't hurt or ARod wasn't getting a day off. But that wasn't enough so they traded for both Austin Kearns (who has suddenly disappeared - is he even on the playoff roster?) & Berkman at the trade deadline. Berkman was doing the DHing against RHPs but is now pressed into service at 1B with Teixeira's injury.

This 1-0 lead is bullshit.

Let's go Rangers.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

See? MFYs cheat it right away. Those fucks.

I hope Lewis buries the next one in Swisher's face.

[metirish]

Fucking umps are shite.....no one saw that?

[ashie62]

My blind grandmother saw it

[ashie62]

Watch that be the fuckup to get the MFY's home safe.

What happened? I'm not watching the game, as I'm too busy noodging one of my idiotic MFY fan friends on FB.

MFY's tied the game 1-1 when Gayrod scored from 3rd on a "wild pitch" which was actually a ball in the dirt that quite obviously caromed off Swisher's shin.


But Vlad just made it 3-1 on a 2-out double after the MFYs intentionally [crossout]shit their pants[/crossout] walked Hamilton.

Swisher at the plate, a bounced pitch clearly hits his left shin and the ball goes five hole on Bengie.....gay runner scores from third.....

TBS actually show gun readings on pitch outs?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hughes has been chased. Gotta get Vlad home here.

[Frayed Knot]

2-out/2-strike RBIs will get you to heaven

[Fman99]

Girardi's on the phone, trying to get a tee time for next week.
