Will Josh Hamilton bat this inning? Will he have a relapse in the offseason? Will he still kick ass as a baseball player and expect a Pujols-like contract? What will a Pujols-like contract be? Oh, right. That. Somebody tell him it is Anaheim not LA. And somebody tell Anaheim he doesn't like the El Hombre nickname. And he always liked it when we called...
Freese is in at Third and Andrus singles past him to lead it off...
Salas pitching...Shannon says, grab a cold frosty one we are gonna be here for awhile...
CHECK...Ahhhh...
Here's that Hamilton guy...he wants a cold frosty one, but settles for a basehit to right...first and third nobody out. Nothing is safe in this ballpark, Shannon says. Big Money Pujols tries to deke Hamilton.
Michael Young up.
Ball one way high and outside. Ball two delivered low.
Lynn getting ready in the bullpen. He looks alot like Motte from this distance...
Who are you? I'm getting old.
Salas sounds like Salads sometimes when Shannon says it. He gets away with a hanger that Young whiffs on.
2-1...3-1 in the dirt, blocked nicely by Yadi.
Young shoots a bullet past Young. Andrus scores, Hamilton hurt so he pulls up at 3rd. Freese played that like an LVP...hope his defense improves in 2012...
2nd and 3rd nobody out, 8-4 Cards...Here comes Tony to bring in Lance Lynn (remember this story line)
Lynn throws a 93 mph strike one fastball to Adrian Beltre.
Strike two fouled away.
Theriot is playing second. Holds up Beltre? appeals to the ump at first? He held up. Ball one.
Beltre hits a line drave base hit into left field... Just over the reach of Furcal he makes a valiant effort for it.
8-5, 1st and 3rd, sill nobody out and Nelson Cruz up...
Cruz fouls it back. Strike two called on the corner. Swing and a miss climbing the ladder! Nice pitch combo...here's fox showing it again...
Napoli up with one out and two on. Shannon still calling for the double play...I bet we get it...
In the dirt outside, ball one...
Fastball in...cards don't get the call because it was a ball, Mike...
2-0 on NAH-po-LEEE...strike one looking, a slider.
Mike Shannon reminds us that this is the big leagues...
TIME CALLED JUST AS LYNN WAS ABOUT TO THROW A FASTBALL THAT WOULD RIP A HOLE IN THE SPACE TIME CONTINUUM! Yadi wanted to change the sign for obvious reasons...
Offspeed delivery is called strke two.
These players don't feel the pressure you fans do! Mike says. And then he chuckles. I love that guy.
Napoli launches it into Right. Craig catches, runner tags and now it is 8-6!?!?!?! sac fly from Napoli...at least it stayed in the park.
Texas were worthy opponents.
Daniel Murphy Easy out is up to end the inning..Sorry...DAVID Murphy...
Lynn walks Murphy on four pitches. LaRussa looks at his game notes. And now he has to pitch to...
YOR VEEET TOR E AL BAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
A home run here would have given the rangers the lead. but that didn't happen...but what did happen?
Lynn takes a long look and drops a curve in for strike one A BEAUTY!
There's a Texas guy with a moustache and a cowboy hat! WOW! THAT SURE IS TEXAS FOR YOU!
Strike two and Shannon is smelling formaldehyde for some reason.
Yorvit fouls back the one two delivery...so do it again, Lance Lynn...
Nolan Ryan looks tired.
2-2, outside and low
3-2 on a ball in the dirt...come on, jeez...cut to the chase (3 Pujols bombs...conflicted)
Lynn walks the bases loaded...here comes Kinsler...a leadoff man who had 32 jacks during the reg'lar season...
Bases loaded two outs and Kinsler ... on the first pitch... taps it foul.
Lynn handcuffs Kinsler and he fouls it off again, 0-2
Lynn coulda given up a grand slam here... instead he wastes a high fastball.
Lynn coulda given up a grand slam here...instead...he...throws it inside 2-2
Lynn coulda given up a grand slam here...instead...he...GETS HIM TO POP OUT TO FURCAL!
INNING OVER 8-6 Cards
