World Series Game 6

Rangers should have won that game. Errors aside, Wash made some terrible decisions that cost them.

David Freese is the man. I don't know what kind of dark magic or deal with the devil the Cardinals made, but the impossible just happened.

GO CARDS!

I was hoping the Rangers would win so the WS would be over and my roommate could stop talking about the Cardinals 24/7.

Glad to see the St. Louis native live out a childhood dream. Had to have been down right awesome.

I thought I was gonna have an aneurysm. I'm not even really a baseball guy most of the time. But I got some kind of sports fan whiplash tonight. It was like: "The Rangers are winning! Oh, wait. It's tied. No! they're WINNING!!! Wait. No. Wait. It's tied again. ELEVENTH INNING?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!? Oh. Well. Game seven, I guess."

If that was a game 7, it would be the greatest WS ever,....but now,...game 7 will be a letdown. Couldn't possibly match game 6.

I think it is the greatest ever, even if it was game 6. I agree that game 7 cannot help but be a letdown.

Game 7 certainly not live up to last nights tilt but in the history of World Series aren't games 6s the most dramatic anyway? I dispise the Cardinals, but that was an incredible baseball game and I can't wait for tonight.

If things go my way, Carp will only last a couple of innings and then he'll cry his way off the bump and down into the clubhouse. Somehow though, I don't see it happening that way since he IS the best big game pitcher in this series.

Anthem at 7:04....... First pitch at 7:05

Go Rangers!!

I had the good fortune to be at the game, it was wild. Of course, it helps I was rooting for the Cards.

I expect my 11 y/o son will be telling his son about it 30 years from now.

Here's a crappy photo from my blackberry, This was 1st inning:

IMO - Washingtion should have pinch hit for Lewis when the bases were loaded and tried to crack it wide open.

A lot of people are of that opinion. A few "experts" as well. I actually think Wash got that one right the way he played it. Lewis hadn't been touched since the 1st at that point and the BP obviously didn't do their job when C.L. did come out.

I could easily see your argument as well though.

Loved that game. I wasn't really rooting for anyone but now... I think I'm a St. Louis Cardinals fan for today.

I can't wait until I don't have to listen to Joe Buck.

Really? J. Buck is the one you're tired of? McCarver is the one that has been ruining games for the last 75 years.

I'm fine w/McCarver. Buck is such a ball washer its annoying & I don't find any of his analysi interesting.
