2011 World Series Game 6: Rangers at Cardinals, Thursday 10/27, 7:05 CT

The Texas Rangers could win the first World Series championship in their history tonight if they beat the Cardinals in St. Louis. No weather problems expected, though temperatures will be cool (upper 40s to low 50s at game time).

I know who most Cubs fans are rooting for. When the season finally does end -- either today or tomorrow -- then our sights will be turned to the offseason and changes to come in the Cubs coaching staff (hopefully) and roster.

Meanwhile, Colby Lewis faces Jaime Garcia in Game 6. More game details after the jump.

Star-divide

Game time for Rangers/Cardinals: 7:05 pm. CDT. Rangers lead series 3-2. TV: Fox. Announcers: Joe Buck & Tim McCarver (get your mute button ready).

Go Rangers!

Hopefully they’ll hit ’em hard, hit ’em often & take Garcia out early, forcing the Cards to bring in the bullpen early.

I don't know what this says about me as a baseball fan in general

But my interest in this series is low. As mentioned, my sights are already on what news will come in next.

Is the country bored with this Series?

And if so, why? Is it that the ESPN sports puppet masters have declared this a dull match because New York and Boston are long gone? I’m happy as a clam that the Yankees and the Red Sox are out of this thing. In fact, both LCSs were great because all four teams were from the Midwest/Heartland. The whole East Coast hegemony in baseball had been starting to get me down. Naturally, I’m hoping the Epstein Gang will lead us to a new era wherein the rest of the country will start getting aggravated because the Cubs are always in the NLCS and/or Series. But back to the original thesis — the OP says his (her?) interest in the Series is low. That’s funny because it’s been a great Series with twists and turns, dramas, bizarre managing, good guys and bad guys, excellent play and lousy play. This is terrific stuff.

We have to demand more!

FWIW, the ratings for Monday night's game were better than "Monday Night Football".

I am a Cubs fan, but first and foremost I am a baseball fan and I enjoy watching the World Series. The only one I didn’t see or care to watch was 2003.

I put an asterisk next to the 1981 World Series. That whole season was hosed.

I never did understand that whole “split-season” concept. Should have been the Cardinals and Reds in the NL and Brewers and Athletics in the AL.

by jeffmills1972 on Oct 27, 2011 7:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

The purpose behind the split season in 1981

was to get another round of the playoffs in and make up some of the money they lost in the strike.

It’s done in every minor league below Triple-A, of course. But of course, everyone knows that before the start of the season and they did not in 1981.

The only place you can get the hard stuff is in a state owned store. They are few and far between and they close at 9. There’s a citizen initiative that would privatize sales. Costco have spent millions on this so every other commercial is how to vote. I bet lots of folks are filling out the mail in ballots tonight.

As much as I hate the Cardinals, I have to say this about the Rangers

They had a bigger Game 6 choke than we could dream of having. I don’t see the Cardinals losing Game 7 after this win tonight. The bullpen didn’t execute. The defense didn’t execute. Ron Washington overmanaged. It was a clusterfrack all around.

RIP Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010) and Ron Santo (February 25, 1940-December 2, 2010).

Ok, did anybody NOT see this coming? This game opitimized the St Louis Cardinals and Tony LaRussa

Tony LaRussa teams have one thing in common every single year: the ability to rally via the line drive and the shallow line drive. Tony’s teams, when trailing in the 7th inning or later, always seem to hit a flair liner into the outfield. They do this until they’ve got somebody on 2nd with less than two outs. Then comes the home run. They also always seem to have random dudes who are awful (like Aaron Miles) sign a 1 year deal and hit .300 until leaving the following year and sucking again.

I don’t care if we’d have to pay out the ass. Tony LaRussa needs to be managing the Cubs next year.
