Crap, asking Furcal to go 3-3 is a road too far.

Turns out leaving your season in the hands of Scott Feldman is not such a good idea.

I don't think Fox Trax is super accurate. The 3-1 pitch showed up as middle outside and it was on the black.

I'd trust the Pitch FX tool more.

Why is Theriot leading off? Am I the only one that thinks he not only has bad at bats but has way too long of a swing?

He just needs to have a good AB.

LMAO

I agree. Beyond ESPN I don't trust any of them.

FREE RUNS, GET YOUR FREE RUNS HERE! :D

I thought that they were reshowing the hit on Albert...lol

You have got to be kidding me.

****ing Skip....

You'll never see a team cheering one of their own players getting hit more than right there.

What's it so far, 3 BB and 2 HBP? Wow.

I'll start to relax a bit if we get about 10 more.

God **** you, Schumaker. You are scum.

Skip Holliday. 4321

I repeat: Koji Uehara, the reliever with 85 strikeouts to 9 walks this season, is not on the Rangers' WS Roster.

Damn. Hit there really would punched the Rangers in the balls.

Ron Washington hates Chinamen.

We have got jabbed more than the other teams. :harumph:

We could really, really use a shutdown inning here.

I assume this will be Carp's last inning with the 9 spot leading off.

That was pathetic :shake::shake:

The ump has been tight both ways tonight. Based off the other innings, that was indeed a ball.

Nice catch

Craig>Holliday

Yep. Holliday loafs over and watches it go over the fence.

yep, he did his job. :thumb:

I'd gladly trade Holliday to Boston for Carl Crawford.

Carpenter got hit pretty good that inning. I'd pull him.

I'd just as soon trade him to somebody in the division so we can finally be the beneficiaries of his shit play. I think he'd make a fine Cub.

Holliday's injury has saved us three runs at the dish and on defense.

You guys have been wanting to pull Carpenter every inning since the 2nd, haha.

Although now, I'd consider it here. Although you risk LaRussa tinkering around like a madman for three innings by doing it.

No way

I don't trust our bullpen

I probably start the next inning off with Rhodes against Murphy, then go to Salas/Dotel, saving Scrabble for Hamilton

Holy shit, Carp's batting.

Whoa

Yeah I'd a least see how he starts out.

I've been the only one in here advocating leave him in but even myself thinks its time. He's at 93 pitches on 3 days rest but it looks like he convinced TLR to let him go another inning.

Carp gave you six innings of two hit ball after letting the first four guys reach base. He's done his job and done it admirably. How he gutted out 5 2/3 of no run ball after that start I'll never, ever know.

I really worry that Tony is going Grady Little here.

the rangers are starting to tighten up

Damn, that looked like it might drop in initially.

Theriot hits so many balls on the screws that go 280 feet.

If we had to keep an ex-Cub on the roster, it really should have been DeRosa. :shake:

We have enough DL spots as it is.

Rhodes scares me. DO NOT WANT

Giving him even more reason to shorten the damn swing up. He gets zero reward for the long swing if he hits the ball well.

Good point.

This is game 7 of the World Series McCarver. I can't imagine Rhodes is throwing just to be throwing.

Carp should stay in. You guys are running the risk of LaRussa tinkering around like a madman for three innings here.

He's a decoy. You don;t let Carp bat and then pull him after one batter.

****

That needs to be it, Tony.

And that really ought to be all for Carpenter.

Nice job, Chris :wayne:

Even if that run scores, after the first inning, thats a damn good showing.

Wellllll at least he disn't go full Grady Little.

Rhodes, this is the team that cut you. This is the team that told you that you weren't' good enough to be a lefty in a pen without any. This is your time. Take that mother****ing cokeheaded rat **** Washington, and pull his ****ing cock through is ass.

STRIKE THIS MOTHER****ER OUT.

His tinkering worked in the first two series. If done right, it's better that a flat Carpenter.

****, Tony. Go to Dotel now.

Pull Rhodes mid count, he sucks.

Good work, Arthur. Now get Dotel the **** in there.

Here we go on the pitcher-go-round. WHEEEEEEEEEEE

It's gonna go Dotel to Kinsler and Andrus, Scrabble v. Hamilton.

I really, really hope we can get out of this inning w/o any damage, because I don't trust Motte against the meat of the Rangers' order again.

Haha how many people even know or remember that the Mets were down 3 in game 7 of the 86' WS. Everybody just remembers game 6.

If Dotel and Rzep do the job and hold the lead (assuming the Cards don't blow it after they leave), it will have been worth giving up Rasmus. Crazy to think about that.

**** YES, DOTEL!!

Nice.

Or that douchebag Kerry Wood hit a HR in Game 7 against the Marlins and had an early lead.

I posted it earlier in the thread. Most people don't remember that. They don't remember the Cubs lead the game 7 after the Bartman game, etc. Same thing so far tonight. Texas jumped out on top and the Cards came back.

Does Joe Buck read CP?

Dotel laughs at RHBs attempts to hit his FB.

I ****ing love you, Dotel. I ****ing love you.

**** YEAH

Yeah watching 'Catching Hell' even after Wood hit that HR, the fans still didn't seem to believe.

Not getting a run there is a huge killer for Texas.

Not sure about the rest of the Rangers, but Andrus was really pressing there.

My God David Nail kicks ****ing ass.


That was good.
