Bottom of the 2nd in TEJAS

Michael Young leads it off...

Fouls it past 3rd base...

Michael Young is the poor, racist white man's Derek Jeter, according to Fox Sports.

Michael Young is still batting. Good. Keeps him from running for congress. Furcal throws him out EASILY.

Here is St. Beltre...one scary MFer if he ain't on your team.

A crowd of Sellouts down here in Arlington Texas.

Lohse throws one in the dirt. Theriot is playing him to pull...to San Francisco...

Line drive base hit to RIGHT FIELD...Beltre gets a one out single.

How will Lohse work now from the stretch?

"Is there such a thing as the same simultaneously?" Shannon

"There is now" John ROoney

Thank god I'm listening to the radio feed..apparently AJ Pierzynski is talking now on Fox

2-2 on cruz one out beltre on first


outside full count...start the runner?

walked him

Napoli up...takes a beauty for strike one...

Lohse is dialed in for now... strike two in at the knees

Lohse is from Chico

next pitch in the dirt...beltre taking a big lead down at second...

Napoli pops out to Jay? in Right?

I'll get back to you on that...means Berkman is DH and Craig is playing center, right?

And there's old man Torre...

Murphy grounds out to Albert unassisted...Judas...

TOPPS of the 2nd game 3

Freese is even at 1-1


LCS MVP ... What will he do in the WS?

2-2 on Freese...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaay high and outside, full count...

Chases one for strike 3...change up...

Neck Tattoo looking for his first world series hit...he tattoos it to Beltre...the saintly one...two away

Jon Jay the Federalist to face Matt Harrison who is 6 4 240 and lives in Durham, NC

Quicl=k=y o and tooooo on jj

A beauty on the outside corner is an automatic ball one...but then he swings and misses on the next pitch...

inning over!

Game 3 - Lohse of the 1st

What is a Lohse? A number 3 starter in the WS?

Kinsler leads it off in home whites...

Lohse throws an off speed peetch..steeerike one...

Ball one

Strike on the inside corner.. .89 mph fastball

Lohse gets Kinsler swings on an offspeeed deleivereeeeeeeeeee!

Lohse is from Chico, y'all.

McCarver is showing us how to throw a curve but nobody's listening. John and Mike are telling tall tales about Bob Gibson, the legend...

1-1 on ....2-1 on...Andrus... 3-1 on the SS

3-2...strike 3 called and Lohse has fanned the first two!!!

Hamilton is gattling...gatlin gun...2-1 on Hamilton...CRAIG HOMERED IN THE 1st!!!

Hamilton grounds to Albert... 3up and 3down...

Game 3 - Top O' the First GO CARDS!

There is the sweet voice of John Rooney telling us how much Matt Harrison weighs and that he lives in North Carolina.

Big league record of 30 up and 19 down. A fawn in the field. A little Bambi...

"They wouldn't mind having to go back to St. Louis for Game 6" Rooney says

Just about set to go...Catcher throws to 2nd... 81 degrees at game time. Dirk Nowitzki threw out the first pitch...

Rafael Furcal, right handed, bats first...

THERE'S MIKE...

Furcal's heart is beating fast...first pitch is a fastball strike one...

Craig is in the line up...as DH...HELL YEAH!

Furcal grounds out to NAPOLI? AT FIRST? one out...

Here is Allen Craig...and here are the two Allen Craig highlights from game one and two...

"There are deep for Craig" - Mike Shannon

Strike one...

Craig homers in the 1st!!! HELL YEAH! "Just sneaked into the corner" - Mike "I hate irregular verbs" Shannon...

First pitch to Judas...outside strike one...

Judas takes strike two looking

Judas grounds out to Beltre (St. Viator) at 3rd.

Here is Matt Holliday with two out.

Fastball low outside, ball one

Theriot puts his arm around Craig and Craig rolls his eyes...

Another for Holliday and the count goes 2-1

Holliday singles to right!

Allen Craig made the same swing in Games 1 & 2, but his wing in Game 3 was a bit different...it was a MER FIN HR!!!

Berkman bats...Freese on deck

Matt Harrison has Berkman on the ropes!

Berkman swings and fouls it back...

Berkman shoots a fly ball to Hamilton in center and the Cards lead on Craig's HR 1-0

Game 3 From Arlington -

I've been reading the Buddy Holly wikipedia entry and listening to John Fahey. Now here is Joe buck and Tim McCarver and they look drunk and stupid. I'm gonna try and get the Shannon/Rooney KMOX audio for this one...Big things happen in this game...Like Alexi Ogando gets face surgery. This is sick. I played baseball today and that was sick. Jesse Rimler kicks ass. Willie Nelson is singing "City Of New Orleans" in place of the national anthem...and now here is Mike and John...

Bottom of the 9th Game 2, see you in Arlington, Babe and Reggie...

Replays show that the Game 2 loss is all Albert Pujols' fault.


Yadi leads it off...ball one from Neftali (No Cerrado) Feliz

Feliz can't find the strike zone.

three and oh.

Takes strike one.

Leadoff walk to Molina, handed out by Feliz.

I like where this is going. Do you pinch run Theriot? No, Gerald Laird.

Punto batting, will obviously bunt. Only Theriot left on the bench.

Punto bunts in the air back to the backstop.

Punto bunts foul for strike two. This sucks. Oquendo is giving the signs, but to what end?

Punto strikes out on a 99 mph fastball.

Here is Schumacker...oy vey...

Fouls off strike one...

way high a ball and a strike

1-1 inside at 98 is ball two

McCarver says some shit...and Schumacker swings and misses 2-2

Skip strikes out swinging so now it is up to Rafael Furcal.

Furcal in the hole oh and two

Ball one outside...

Pitcher of record is Motte (loss)

Furcal calls time, Feliz makes dumbass cocky face.

Inside 2-2 .

Furcal flies out to right, Cruz catches it in right...

and this series is tied at a game apiece...

Game 3 up next...stay tuned... ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, Cubs fans.

Top of the 9th = Ranger Danger

18th WS games for the Cardinals franchise... 107th postseason game...

Motte works Kinsler 0-2 with the quickness... and just as quick it is 2-2...


Kinsler flares a base hit between Holliday and Furcal...the Cards' Achilles heel if there is ever a spot on the field...

Tying run on..with no one out...and here is where Tony feels he lost the game. The coaches are timing Motte's delivery to the plate... 1.2 or 1.4? Steal or out? Pick off play to first.

1-0 on Andrus and there's a strike ... 1-1

Arthur Rhodes loosening for the Cards.

THERE GOES KINSLER...HUGE JUMP>>>Yadi makes a brilliant throw but Kinlser is in there by a horse's mane...

Molina did what he could, Mottte's time to the plate was too long...And the game is essentially over. Texas wins.


Andrus fouls off and it is still 1-2.


SO much going on right now, even though the cards have conceded the key runner. THis is where the game is like Chess. It will happen again. Playng to a stale mate.

Andrus base hit to Center. Knsler is held at 3rd, but Pujols tips the ball and Andrus takes second...should be an error on Pujols (he lost this game too, along with LaRussa)

Nobody out, 2nd and 3rd. This is how you win a close game.

Here is Hamilton. All you really need is 2 sac flies...

LaRussa is gonna go to Rhodes for the matchup...a dumb move according to LaRussa haters...lets talk again after Game 7.

Hamilton rips one into right that will tie the ballgame...runners move up...

1-1 on a sac fly by Hamilton. Andrus makes third ahead of a great throw from right. Pujols allowing Andrus to get to second looms large now.

Lance Lynn against Michael young.

First pitch ball one down and away. The next two pitches are balls too. A 3-0 slider for a strike...

Young fouls it off for a full count...

Young flies out to center and the Rangers go up 2=1.

Young delivers with an out.

Rangers lead 2-1, their first lead of the world series.

Neftali Feliz gets loose for Molina, Punto and Schumaker...

Beltre grounds out to Descalso at 3rd. HORRIBLE INNING OVER
