For only the third time since 2002 (2003 and 2009 the others), we will have a World Series that will go at least six games. This one's been good, too; three games not really decided until the late innings and the one blowout did at least have the Albert Pujols Show to keep it interesting.
The last game at Rangers Ballpark before it heads back to St. Louis will be tonight. One of the teams will be ahead three games to two. Will it be the Cardinals behind Chris Carpenter or the Rangers behind C.J. Wilson?
Last night's winner, Derek Holland, is a big-time tweeter. Worth following, I'd say.
Full game details after the jump.
Game time for Rangers/Cardinals: 7:05 pm. CDT. Series tied 2-2. TV: Fox. Announcers: Joe Buck & Tim McCarver (get your mute button ready).

i bet the Cards win tonight
… Carpenter is a big game kinda guy and Wilson isn’t…especially with free agency on his mind. Hope i’m wrong tho. Go Rangers!

I’M GONNA CELEBRATE WITH A SPOTTED COW

Yeah, but Theo's not going to be the GM. Jed Hoyer is.

ha!
I’ll be watching the game from New Glarus tonight. Had a pint at the brewery this afternoon and will be drinking Moon Man.
Yeah, well I'm in Kansas.
So Spotted Cow down here is at a premium. Requires me to (1) be in Wisconsin, (2) buy it, (3) not drink it immediately, and (4) hide it from thieves.

I was wondering where you were located. #3 gets me every time.
I’m traveling back to Chicago tomorrow and need to make room for cases for myself, family and friends. A popular brew.
I live about half an hour from there
In my 11 years here, have never been there.

I'm not much of a beer fan
But we normally have some in our fridge. Brennen’s lets you mix and match your 6 packs.

They have the reproduction of one of my paintings
hanging in their new brewery (it’s a painting of some spotted cows of course). Sorry, just had to brag there. It’s my little claim to fame.
Dear Great Pumpkin, I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween Night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents.
Would a rainout
delay the Theo presser?

FYI, Strat-O-Matic Baseball did a replay of this World Series.
Albert Pujols hit three homeruns, Josh Hamilton hit .375 and the Rangers won the World Series in six games.

Maybe not PC,
but I think I can pull of a bingo with the set muted. Nice

Brings in a righty to intentionally walk a guy, then goes to a different righty.

Did anyone else see the rumor that Ryne Sandberg reportedly was on a flight to Chicago?
It might not be anything, but has this been confirmed?
Rzepczynski?
That’s a real thing?

Slowing down the game to take the wind out of their sails.

This game has convinced me
that people who think Tony LaRussa is a genius are morons.
Also, if Ron Washington and Tony LaRussa can manage a team to the World Series, almost any manager can.
is that an endorsement for quade?

I very carefully said
“Almost” any manager.

Not after tonight's game
Because I don’t think you could call what LaRussa or Washington did as “competent” tonight.

That's only because
he keeps intentionally walking you.

Rangers win!
Now the Rangers just have to complete the journey on the road.

Just saw a replay of the Beltre homer
Anyone else remember Bobby Murcer pulling that move? (even if he was generally going to a knee while swinging at curveballs in the dirt)

Hey Theo...
If you’re reading this can you get a no Tim McCarver in the booth negotiated into the trade when the Cubbies make it to the WS?

Kemp and Bautista have to be leaders in the clubhouse for the MVP, right?

Kemp is
I don’t know about Bautista. The media seem to keep coming up with reasons he’s not “valuable.”

Well, Ellsbury and Kemp should win.

The reason the Rangers won tonight is elemental

Thank god the Rangers won... now bury the Cards for good!!!!!
