I have to admit, that the ballgame last night was one of the most enjoyable games I have ever watched.

Probably #2 right after the Thome 500 HR game live in person. I had tears in my eyes that day.

It was. My wife, who is not a sports fan at all (but her parents live in St. Louis) was cheering and yelling at the tv. It was hilarious. Her - pmb Oct 28, 09:09
I feel so bad for my roommate. Big Rangers fan, had to be *at* work at 5:30am this morning. - Krusty Oct 28, 08:51
it might be the best game ever for me. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 28, 08:43 44
- As I said earlier, I didn't watch much of the game. How did it compare to Wainwright buckling Beltran in Game 7? Cause that was pretty awesome. Also - Jim Oct 28, 08:52 12
  - Are you going to watch or sit in the closet with sound muffling earphones on -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 08:58 6
    - Honestly...I'm not sure what's on our calendar for tonight. Sounds dumb... - Jim Oct 28, 09:04 5
      - it was good to see Berkman finally batting behind Albert yesterday. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:05 4
        
        If he can do it again tonight...he might finally get that MVP you've been talking about for years. - Jim Oct 28, 09:06 3
        
        quietly, he has put together an awesome career stat line.... - groiny Oct 28, 09:09 1
        
        If he played in the AL, he'd probably have one already. - Jim Oct 28, 09:11
        
        It is hard not to like that big oaf. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:07
  - you *have* to watch tonight. - TFox Oct 28, 08:57
  - I said below, I would probably start someone else, and bring Carp out of the pen. - groiny Oct 28, 08:55 2
    - That's what I'm thinking. I just told a buddy that Tony should plan this out like an All Star game. - Jim Oct 28, 08:57 1
      - Is the Texas pitcher the guy that *lost* the All Star game, and therefore home field advantage? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:59
  - Wait... huh!?! -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:54
- I love that feeling. I'm really happy for you. - Mel Profit Oct 28, 08:45 13
  - I'm gonna have to get some five-hour energy or something to drink before the game. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 28, 08:47 12
    - There's something about a baseball playoff run that's exhausting. - Mel Profit Oct 28, 08:58 1

    - It kind of sucks for the teams and managers, but I'm so glad Game 7 is tonight. - TFox Oct 28, 08:48 9
      - Better for the Rangers that they don't have an off day to think about that loss too much. - Krusty Oct 28, 08:55 8

        Golic was talking about that this morning...baseball is different than a sport like football. - Jim Oct 28, 08:58 6

        yeah, you only have to win one game. it would be harder to deal if you were down 3-0. - groiny Oct 28, 09:02 4

        Holliday has sucked, Napoli will be fine, and Cruz will sting a bit, but his defense sucks. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:04 2
        
        I'm thrilled that Holliday won't be playing. I like Allen Craig's bat a lot more right now. And the knock on Craig was his defense, but...um... - Jim Oct 28, 09:05 1
        
        I have been saying that for the last 4 years. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:06
- If it had been game 7, it would be for anyone on the planet. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:44 8

    - it should be high scoring, as both teams pens are depleted - groiny Oct 28, 08:50 2
      - I would not be surprised to see every pitcher used tonight - amoxy Oct 28, 08:57

    - I'd think so. But would love to be proven wrong. - znufrii Oct 28, 08:50
  - the fact that TWICE they were down to the last strike is awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:46 2
    - completely. I forget sometimes how awesome sports are to watch live. I caught up and was like - clockwork jones Oct 28, 08:48 1
      - I really don't like baseball, but at it's peak it is as good as anything out there. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:22
- (though admittedly the first five innings were pretty horrible baseball) -- nm - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 28, 08:43 7
  - yes, but the last 6 were phenominal. - groiny Oct 28, 08:44 6
    - Was the Cardinals scoring in the last, what, 5 innings a record? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:45 5
      - Only team ever to score in the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th innings in one game -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 08:46 1
        
        Awesomesauce. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:52
      - yes, I believe they showed that graphic last night. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:45 2
        
        Ah, cool. I was only half watching, on the computer and doing Reach Daily Challenges. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:51 1
        
        yeah, I was doing Black Ops, but had it on gamecast. - groiny Oct 28, 08:53
This has been a good year for baseball. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:43
it's true. I was so pleased to have been watching. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 08:41 3
- *thud* - groiny Oct 28, 08:42 2
  - awwww. someone remind me that if I ever feel particularly crappy about myself, all I need to do is talk to the groin about baseball. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 08:47 1
    - you could have stopped after groin..... - groiny Oct 28, 08:48
