I've never seen any game like that one, not since little league.

It actually reminded me of some college games I have seen, the teams tend to run out of pitching late in games.

Damn.  I gave up watching in the sixth inning. They Cards looked fuck, and they kept making errors.
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

I went to bed right after Craig hit the homerun to get within 7-5.  Just turned ESPN on and saw what happened.

Hopefully Holliday's pinkie hurts so much he can't play tonight, he is killing them.

Wait you Cardinals fans actually missed it?  I hope Spicey at least saw it live.

Hellz yeah I watched it.  Had my brother in law & father in law right there with me.  We sat there in stunned amazement for about an hour after the game-- good times.  Too bad my father in law has to fly out this afternoon.

One thing that cracks me up is that here in Cincy nobody wants to talk about the game (*everyone* was talking about Game 5).  I didn't realize this newly-kindled Reds-Cardinals rivalry ran that deep.

God damn it, why oh why do the games have to be so late? Yeah, I went to bed about the 6th inning.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

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

I know the freaking games last forever.  I was looking at the clock at 9 PM central thinking that if this was a college game we would be in the 8th inning now...but we were only in the 5th.  The ads and the pitching changes are just brutal.

I gotta admit-- what I've been doing for most of the playoffs is giving the game a good 45 minute to hour head start on my Tivo, and then fastforwarding through commercials & other non-game stuff.  Usually I catch up to live action by about the 7th or 8th inning.

What is Ron Washington doing?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Hilarity is ensuing?  What's going on?  SP sucking or bullpen sucking?

There seems to be a commercial right now.

He loaded the bases with an intentional base on balls, and then pitcher walked in a run. Not surprising since he hit the batter before the IBB.

EDIT: Just hit another batter to drive in a run.

Ah.  The traditional control shown by Rangers pitching. 

CJ Wilson needs a haircut.

Yup. Also, that inning started with a walk. It was BB, HBP, IBB, BB, HBP
