    They did make up their mind, just like a woman does!!!!




    TEXAS has a balanced budget.

    Jesus Saves, even Agnostics.

    Draining the Swamp is a tough job.

    No way! He strikes out as much as he hits homers. Besides, the Rangers have more than one bat.
    So does St. Louis. Ever hear of Lance Berkmann?

    Pretty cool that the Rangers make it to a 2nd world series in a row. Not a fan, but don't despise them either. Kind of a nothing team to me, but close enough to travel to to enjoy a good game.

    I see the Cards winning in 7.
    I was about to give you a "thank you" until your last sentence.

    The Rangers have one outstanding problem: starting pitching. Their bats are really "streaky" at times, but can usually pull through in a pinch. Problem is, Ron Washington is too nice a guy and leaves his starters in one inning more than they can handle. Relievers are great (especially now that he got rid of the 2 worst relievers). Wilson, who started last night, is is Jekyl and Hyde. You never know which one is going to show up. He's not their best, and the Card's starter last night WAS their best, so tonights game ought to go better. 6 Games, I agree, but wish it could be over sooner. They surprised me with the Tigers, maybe they will with the Cards. Washington needs to pull his starters at the first sign of trouble, or the 5th inning, whichever comes first. They can't pitch more than 5 without the wheels falling off the cart. Sojourner Truth

    Ron Washington manages his people with the goal of winning the series, not any one game. I have no doubt that you will see the wisdom of his method in a few more days. After all, tt is a best of seven series.

    Man, I sure hope you are right, I don't think I could stand another night like last night listening to my rabid ranger fan wife senslessly shouting at the TV. I have a lot of faith in Rons' ability to bring home the bacon, but there are times when the strategy doen't look good from a fans point of view. I'm just glad the Yankees are watching the series from the house. Well, only time will tell. You have to look at it like this, no matter what the outcome, the Ranger made it farther than rest, and really do look great. I'm sure the off season will see some changes that improve the weak areas. Maybe some color coordination on the uniforms. (Ha)

    Nice little comeback by the Rangers tonight against the Cardinals' best closer. The red birds need to score, or this will be a short series.
    Now it's a best of 5 with the Rangers holding home field advantage.

    Wouldn't hurt if the Rangers would score also. Two games, both one run games, and a total of 8 runs scored. Looks like the pitching is gonna dominate this series.
