Chef Jim Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I only caught from the ninth on but that really seems like the best part.

(I went to game 6 2 years ago when the Yanks won it and would have to gone to game 7 if it had been needed. I was almost rooting for the Phillies to win 6, so I could be at game 7, too!)

bbb Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I googled retatta and it leads me back to this board!

KD in CA Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Carpenter getting hammered in the first inning.....Texas starts out on top again.

That, sir, was no rant. I just don't see the value in mocking somebody who successfully beat such a tough addiction. "This thing we call failure is not falling down. It is staying down."

Had more to do with his antics in the dugout, but whatevs. At least the redbirds won!

And that was the turning point last night; the Cards getting those 2 runs right back in the bottom of the 1st. It completely reinforced what had happened in game 6, that Texas couldn't hold a lead, couldn't keep STL down. The Rangers were out of fight after that. Congrats to the Cards, but you have to feel bad for Ryan -- he's done a hell of a job turning around the Rangers.

Congrats to the Cards, but you have to feel bad for Ryan -- he's done a hell of a job turning around the Rangers. The intentional walk of Freese to load the bases in the 5th, when Feldman was having trouble finding the plate, that to me was when the game ended. What a stupid, cowardly move. Yadier Molina is no chump.
bbb Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Molina was kind of a chump on that one, though. He heads down the first base line on an obvious strike, and then gets the call on what should have been the third strike. He should have been called out, and I wish he was because it seemed like all he wanted was a walk.

KD in CA Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Not to twist the knife on Ranger fans, but I find these play-by-play win probability charts pretty interesting. Here's the one from game 6; it really highlights the radical swings of fortune over those last few innings. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN201110270.shtml#wpa
