Speaking of HRs I think you will remember this one. And this is another major reason I wanted to keep him he shines in the playoffs... Oct. 10, 2011: Nelson Cruz's walk-off grand slam AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill Nelson Cruz's 11th-inning bomb into the left-field seats to win Game 2 of the 2011 American League Championship Series -- his second home run of the game and third of the series -- was the first walk-off grand slam in postseason history (Robin Ventura's game-winning blast in the 1999 NLCS was officially scored a single) and it ended a game so nerve-racking that Texas Rangers reliever Scott Feldman said, "When I got done watching that game I thought my beard was going to turn gray." The only question when Cruz hit the 1-2 pitch from Detroit reliever Ryan Perry was whether it would stay fair. When it did, the only question was whether he would be able to find home plate through the crush of teammates crowding there to greet him. "It was crazy; they were throwing water on me at first, and I didn't know where I was going," he said. "They hit me a few times and then I found the plate." -Jim Caple Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Looks like I need to add this statement to the list of dumb things I've uttered, 0-10 with 4 Ks... About the only thing I got right is "he's streaky"... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Little tidbits I've picked up from my morning surfing... http://espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/story/_/id/13852192/adrian-beltre-excused-texas-rangers-workout-rest-sore-back I don't think he'll play today but you never know with him, I'm still predicting Game 4 if there is one... :) (Wonder if he's using my pulled hamstring treatment)? http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/110306/rangers-win-a-game-that-evokes-ruth-clemens-mays http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2015_10_11_tormlb_texmlb_1&vkey=preview_web_away&c_id=tor#game=2015_10_11_tormlb_texmlb_1,game_state=Pregame Estrada starting for Toronto against Perez, looks like Dickey is scheduled for Game 4 if there is one... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Well that took a hit last night they lost the game and their SS with a broke leg, wonder how this will affect them mentally it is a young team??? Have seen worse slides into 2B but don't think they ended up quite like this one. Torre has already come out and said they will be mandated in the Arizona Fall league to slide to the base not in the general vicinity during DP attempts... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Still holding on to that hope it will be a Rangers-Mets WS:) I would say not much at all they bombed the Dodgers last night... If Banny keeps throwing LHers at the Jays that doesn't stand a chance of happening, going against the matchups works once in awhile but the percentages for success aren't good... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Holland pitching was high risk. He's a fly ball pitcher. Should have put Gallardo out there again. Well I guess we will see if Hamels can keep bailing the team out. But they have to score runs too. Was only able to watch a few innings yesterday. Noticed Beltre was back and got a couple of hits. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Cards out and Cubbies advance. Mets down by 2 going to the 9th. Rangers-Jays rematch of game 2. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
It will be interesting to see how the Royals are going to continue one dramatic win after another.
"Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary. Belief in miracles, far from depending on an ignorance of the laws of nature, is only possible in so far as those laws are known.” C.S. Lewis, Miracles
Could be a highway series in Texas. Hope not.
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
That will be a fun game to watch. Both teams evenly matched. Get the popcorn for Astros vs. Royals. Also the game 5 for Mets vs. Dodgers. DeGromm vs. Grenke. Doesn't get any better. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Would love to see that. Rangers have to win one more. It will be tough. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Not as tough as Toronto winning three games in a row. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
If they would have run more RHers at them in Game 3 and/or Game 4 the series would probably be over... This is what happens when you don't use the good matchups you have to the fullest... When Darvish comes back that will even out the rotation and make matchups easier to accomplish. Especially if they use one/two of the young'uns to make a 6 man rotation, keeps everybody fresher and gives the young'uns some innings/experience... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
That "should" be a 1-0 or 2-1 nail biter, but in the playoffs all bets are off could end up being 10-9!!! :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
I would imagine they had him wrapped up tight and "maybe" on some kind of localized pain meds... That is one tough old bird I found out he played almost a full season with a torn ligament in one thumb before he ended up getting surgery to repair it... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Good points all around. I guess Chi Chi will have to pitch more until Darvish comes back mid summer 2016. Colby and Gallardo FAs this off season. Gallardo gets a qualifying offer. If he's smart he will take it. Same with Colby. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Here we go. Game 5 on. Amazing season for the Rangers. Hope it keeps going. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
And I'm not talking about a traditional rotation I'm talking about using the 6th man whenever needed to rearrange the rotation to get better matchups. He may start 15 games a year and be a long reliever the rest of the time... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Looks like they finally got to the Jays BP, Hamels probably has 1 more inning before he gets pulled...
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
I must admit I've never seen a runner score like that before when the catchers throw goes off the batters bat/hand...
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Did you just see how the Rangers scored the 3rd run. Wow.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
What three errors by Andrus to load the bases? 1 out bases loaded and Donaldson up. Wow. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Talk about throwing a game away.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
6-3 Jays top of the 9th. I think its dancing time in Toronto but???????????
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Well, at least Tulo won game 3 for Toronto and keep them alive. Other than that his fielding was great but his bat was a dud. Hope He gets it together for the next round.
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Hat tip to Texas Rangers. Thanks for an exciting season. Sonny boy (now 11)...not so happy:) Had to console him that I grew up a Mets fan. I understand disappointment in sports quite well:)
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Well Zig you get to start the Evis thread:) Ace gets three ground balls can't get an out. Hey believe me I had such an inning with my youth baseball team this year. Difference was kiddos came back next inning with two doubles and one was by sonny boy knocking in three:) That's baseball. Good season Yanks and Rangers. Zig (CZ) was right about the match ups. Should have had a RH starter in game 3 or 4 of the series in Texas. Lewis or Gallardo. Well my assessment? The Rangers were one ace short of taking this series. Yu back by mid season next year. Rangers have some decisions to make on Lewis and Gallardo. If not it could be another down April. They basically have three LH starters. Let's Go Mets:) "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
I hope not tomorrow as well. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Looks like Gary's Royals advance. Hope they sweep the BlueRoids. Let's Go Mets:) Tough task against Grenke. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Guessing no one told the Jays that it's not a good idea to sell beer in cans . The Yanks charge $8-10 for a soft plastic bottle of beer . Then they take the top off so it can't be used as a projectile . At that price no one is going to waste a drop anyway. Had it been Posada or McCann behind the plate when Bautista did the bat flip and pose before rounding the bases after his home run there would've been a brawl at home plate when he crossed it . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

What do they serve in your ballpark, sour grapes? Would love to see a Mets-Toronto series. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Your popcorn didn't help the Astros. :)

The Royals are going to disappoint you. "Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary. Belief in miracles, far from depending on an ignorance of the laws of nature, is only possible in so far as those laws are known.” C.S. Lewis, Miracles
Hope the Royals bury the Jays in 4 game sweep.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
You could say that about any one of the Games 3,4 or 5. This is so very appropriate... "We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose"!!!" (If that man was a Rangers fan he would be rolling in his grave right about now)... They should be glad I wasn't in that dugout I would have said things the management wouldn't have wanted to hear... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
I'm not going to bother I think anybody who has been on the other thread knows how I feel about "EVIS", he needs a new zipcode... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
If you play the matchups and they still beat you shake their hand say good game and then whisper in their ear, "Wait till next time"... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Would love to see a Mets-Toronto series. The Royals are going to disappoint you. Of course, KC always has (except when the Broncos are involved, then I am not disappointed). потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Way to go Meties! 3-2 win. I forgive you for all those heartbreaking years as a kid eating those lousy hot dogs at Shea stadium:) Not to mention all the years my dad yelled at the TV:) "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6

Something I've noticed the last couple of days is Josh seems to be getting his stroke together, if you remember correctly he was very streaky at times! And Price is going to be their only LHed starter in this series cause I don't think Buehrle is gonna be on the roster. So are you thinking what I'm thinking as to who could do a lot of damage against the Jays??

Well Zig you get to start the Evis thread:)

Zig (CZ) was right about the match ups. Should have had a RH starter in game 3 or 4 of the series in Texas. Lewis or Gallardo.
