ALCS Game Two

[ViperHorn]

Cancelled until Monday afternoon. Finally some rain.

 

[FWHORN]

I know DFW needed it and I dont begrudge the metroplex this much needed downpour but I have meetings all afternoon tomorrow and will get to see little if any of game two.

 

[ViperHorn]

The CI picked a hell of a time not to observe DST. There could always be an epidemic tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Dude]

The Dutch Oven worked his way out of a jam in the Top of the first and the Rangers continue to hit the ball well.

2-0 Rangers going to Top of the 2nd!

 

[Dude]

Top 2nd

Raburn walked
Peralta flied out to deep center
Avila grounded out to catcher, Raburn to second
Inge Walked
Jackson Walked loading the bases
Santiago grounded into fielder's choice

Holland playing with fire again


On to the bottom of the 2nd, Tigers 0, Rangers 2

 

[Dude]

Bottom 2nd

Cruz lead off double to deep right center (Rangers 3rd double of the game)
Murphy popped out to left center
Moreland struck out
Kinsler flied out to right

To the 3rd, still 2-0 Rangers

 

[Dude]

Top 3rd

D. Young flied out to right
- M. Cabrera doubled to deep right center
- V. Martinez hit by pitch
- R. Raburn homered to deep left, M. Cabrera and V. Martinez scored
- J. Peralta doubled to left
- A. Avila grounded out to second, J. Peralta to third

Crap, Tigers 3-2

 

[Dude]

3 up 3 down for Texas in the 3rd, Andrus, Hamilton and Young flied out

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Still a lot of baseball yet to go this afternoon. Ranger bats will come back.

HHD

 

[Dude]

Tigers go quietly in the 4th.

Jackson grounded out to third
Santiago struck out looking
Young lined out to center (he's 0-3)

Feldman doing his job so far

 

[Dude]

Rangers have gone cold, 3 up 3 down again

Beltre grounded out to third
Napoli struck out swinging
Cruz grounded out to third


Tigers 3
Rangers 2

Top 5th

 

[ViperHorn]

I just do not understand why Wash left Holland in after the first hit in the 3rd.

 

[sblazer]

i'm surprised napoli has swung right through 2 strikes already for strikeouts. like right downt he middle. no contact.

 

[Texanne]

Please don't call Holland "Dutch Oven." It make him sound like a hooker.

Call him the "Flying Dutchman" if calling him "Derek Holland" isn't good enough.

 

[Dude]

Or someone who pulls the covers over his partner's head....nevermind.

Trying to remember the Rangers last hit.

Murphy struck out looking
Moreland struck out swinging
Kinsler lined out to third


3 up 3 down again

 

[Dude]

Feldman is getting the job done. Only allowed one hit so far.

 

[Dude]

Well crap, had an opportunity there and did not take advantage.

E. Andrus walked
J. Hamilton singled to shallow left, E. Andrus to second
M. Young flied out to right, E. Andrus to third
A. Beltre struck out swinging
M. Napoli grounded out to shortstop


Running out of outs and the Tiger bullpen can be tough

 

[Horn69]

here's the problem today...

Hook'em!!!

 

[Dude]

BAM!

Cruz with the HR, tie game.

 

[Horn69]

Leyland f'ed up, Leyland f'ed up, Leyland f'ed...

Hook'em!!!

 

[Dude]

both managers left the starter in 1 too many innings.

 

[Mesohorny]

should have pinch hit Chavez for Moreland

 

[ViperHorn]

Nobody wants to win this game. However at least FWHorn should have been able to see most of the game.

 

[trekoclv5]

WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ViperHorn]

WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[trekoclv5]

Following on line at work all afternoon.

About died during ninth inning when Texas couldnt score with bases loaded and no outs.

Rangers have 2-0 lead and can take a stranglehold on the series tomorrow with Colby on the mound.

 

[sblazer]

an hour later and my heart is about back to beating normally.... so many things i want to ***** about with this game... but can't now with that ending! holy shitballs!

 

[Hook 'Em Danno]

Spent the afternoon with my youngest and came home in time to catch the 10th and 11th innings (glad I didn't have to endure the bottom of the 9th). Glad to see Nellie breakout of his slump in time for the ALCS. Still a long way from being over, but it's awesome going to Detroit up 2-0.
