Yeah.  I don't know what the IR cam was suppose to prove.  Does the ball travel in invisible wave lengths at certain points in time?

Yeah I was wondering wtf was going on when I came in.  Not enough to listen to Joe Buck though.

QuoteOh, forgot to answer the second part.  He hit the ball and someone picked it up and threw it to first getting an out.  If it looked to me like it hit is foot and should have been a foul thus no out.

Oh.  Meh.  Doubt it would have mattered anyway.

Edit:  Wait thats wrong. ROBBED

I had to work late so I didn't get to see the game, nice to see another win by the Cards.  I am really flashing back to '06 here, back then the Tigers were supposed to overwhelm the Cards but lost.  I hope to see a similiar outcome this year.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No score yet.  I missed the first hour cause I was at a lecture.  Kinda sleepy, may not watch any of the game tonight.

Yeah, I'm not really feelin it tonight.  Watching football instead.

Edit:  Well okay, I switched over a couple minutes after they mentioned something about it during this "game," and saw the last two pitches and the flyout to end it.  Heh.

That was a hell of a game last night.  Pretty exciting.

Now we get to see if that whole warm weather leads to more hitting thing is true.

If it is (and it might be-- they were right about cold weather = less hitting), then Texas may well sweep the next 3 games.  I hope the Cards can at least get one more home game.  But they've been playing with house money the entire playoffs, so I'm still ecstatic they made it as far as they did.

Great game last night. The top of the 9th was as good as it gets.

But in the biggest news, did anyone see the New York Post? Possibly the greatest front page I've seen. With a picture of a dead Khadafy and his supposed shooter in a yankees cap, it reads: "Khadafy Killed by Yankee Fan: Gunman had more hits than A-Rod."

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It was excruciating for me.  When there were runners on the corners with no outs I knew both would eventually score.  Not sure what the percentages were, but in my head it was like a 95% chance at that point.

I just love games where strategy and heads up baserunning and execution are so key.  Both times the Rangers took the extra base the Cardinals just barely wiffed on the play but that is all it takes in games like last nights.

That is what was great: except for the error (which was a bit harsh to charge an error on, imo), I thought both teams played about as well as they could. The Rangers made all the right moves on the basepaths, and the Cards made good throws to make all the plays close.

Derspiess, I feel your pain. Nothing worse than blowing a late lead in baseball.

Yeah, I saw the last half of the game.  It was tense.  My dad gets too worked up over it.  He's keeps referring to the Cardinals as "us", as if he and I were out there playing.  Really strange.

Not strange at all since the love of sports is often tied into identification with a team.  After all if you have been a fan for a few decades you have probably been with the franchise longer than anybody actually a member of it...except perhaps the owner.

Wow! :D

That is pretty great. Hard to see how they'll top themselves, but it's the Post so I'm sure they'll manage somehow.

It pains me to see any Yankees fan getting good press.
