I finally heard one of the "experts" pick the Rangers as having a good chance to upset the "unbeatable" Blue Jays and that was Kevin Millar. He said he thought the Rangers matched up well with the Jays and stood a good chance of winning the series.

The Pirates had their chances against Arrieta he made some mistakes up in the strike zone, those pitches were either fouled off or ended up being hit into double plays...

So many of them predicted the Yankees to win the WC.

Old habits die hard they are used to the Yankees winning and didn't see the reality of the situation they were a tired, injured team who backed into the playoffs with a bad record down the stretch. They also thought the young team Astros should have known who their elders/betters were and folded like a cheap house of cards.

Most of the so called experts on baseball only take into consideration certain stats, not all of them, and that's why most of them are wrong most of the time. But as you well know "Every dog has his day"...

Yeah long-term contracts for aging pros is an albatross around the neck.

The Yankees are a big market team and can afford to release or tell a few players to retire and suck up the money loss. Most other teams don't have that luxury and have to choose players and contracts very wisely...

Yeah and we have a couple of those contracts that could really be a hindrance before it's over with, but so far so good... Prince, Hamels and Choo contracts all expire in 20 and 21, Choo will be 38 or 39 by then...

Is it because the teams that lost had "ever so slightly" better records than the team that won?? This only means they had one or 2 bad breaks less than the teams they lost to...

nah , this is better . It gives great incentives to win divisions. WC teams do not earn extra consideration.

Hal Steinbrenner is not his old man . He has put the team on a budget . They will be a better team in the long run for that . All the Yank fans knew that this year and next will be a retooling year similar to what they did in the eary 1990s under Gene Michaels . For the Yanks to even make the WC game was an unexpected bonus.

2-0 Rangers mid third.

DeSheilds RBI single Beltre RBI single

Trainers were working on Beltre between innings. Did not seem to deter his bat:)

That turf is probably tearing him up.

Now 2-1 Rangers. Gallardo pitched well out of a jam. Apparently the run the Jays scored was on a soft ground ball Elvis and Alberto could not get to. Such is baseball.

Gallardo through 4 full and only 59 pitches. Not bad work considering his other outings lately.

Kela is up in the bullpen...

Donaldson out of the game Carrera PH for him...

So a key player out for both teams.

With Kela coming in for the 6th, wonder what Banny has in store the rest of the way? He announced Perez for game 3. So perhaps Colby or Holland comes out of the pen today? I heard a rumor that this was the case.

Diekman does the 7th in 6 pitches so he'll probably do the 8th now. First pitch was 99 MPH, my guess his adrenaline level is up there, 6 outs to go!!!

Diekman just blew through Russell Martin and the bottom of the order. 7th in the books Rangers 5-3.

If all goes to plan, we should see Dyson come in to face the top of the order.

Why use him let Diekman go another inning if he can, save Dyson for 9th and let Tolleson rest...

Diekman back out for the 8th, good job Banny...

Diekman gets thru the 8th in 10 pitches, still 5-3 Rangers...

Bautista just got pulled from the game I would say it's a cramp... (UPDATE) Looks like he tweaked his hammy...

The plan is going as intended the RHers shut the Jays down and won game 1 5-3. Bottom of the order got the job done for the Rangers they gave price fits, glad they gave him 11 days rest but don't think it really made any difference they have his number...
