IT'S TIME!
- Thread starter OUEngineer
- Start date
Kinsler went Jack to make it 2-0. Made bobble in field but CJ, of course, retired next 3.
FIREWORKS IN 5th:
Treanor - HBP again
Borbon fails at bunt, replaces MT on 1st
Andrus singles
Shield is pulled and is pissed.
Michael - check swing BALL on 2-strike pitch (everyone hot for TB - was close)
given another pitch - he POLES it over CF Fence. 5-0 Rangers.
New pitcher
Singles by Hamilton, Cruz, Kinsler 6-0
4 pitchers already this inning.

I refuse to even watch the game. Superstition. I remember being up a game and seemingly taking it to the Yankees the only other time I remember the beloved Rangers in the playoffs. I celebrated after a Juan Gonzales jack for a lead in game 2 then, if I remember correctly... Every damn thing went wrong and we lost that and the nex games in a row to be out.
Hopefully I won't have to be despondent again.

Wow, I feel like a 8-yr-old girl who found out she got Justin Beiber tickets. Holy ****, this is ALLSOME!
We're gonna sweep these fools!
**Breathe, breathe -- calm down.**
Okay, snap to reality. Still have work to do. I think Garza may win Game 3, but we take Game 4. What will the pitching matchup be for Game 4? Tommy vs. Wade Davis? Would they throw Price back out there on Sunday or hope against hope they force a Game 5 to use him then?
Hopefully, it won't matter as Cobra puts this **** on lockdown.

I'm with you, OUE. It appears that the Yankees will dispatch Minnehaha in three games, so it would be nice for the Rangers to do likewise with Tampa. That way everybody gets the same amount of "rest" (if it's possible to rest in the eager anticipation of the ALCS). With home field advantage, I like the chances against NY - may take all seven games to do it.

It's not time, yet. Sigh.
Bullpen totally screws the pooch. I'm nervous b/c we've used O'Day and Oliver in all 3 games. Feliz has been shaky as hell. Tommy isn't known for going deep in games, so this only makes the bullpen situation more dicey.
Wade Davis takes the mound for the Rays. He's solid, but this will be his first taste of post-season play. The same is true for Hunter, though.
Michael and Josh have come up pretty empty in this series. I know MY had the big 3-run homer, but he's looked lost at the plate, otherwise. If we can get the offense going, it'd be huge for Tommy and take some pressure off of him to not feel like he has to pitch perfectly.
We better win tomorrow or we'll be in a Game 5 @Tampa. They'd have to be favored to take the series, at that point, no?

OUE - good analysis - yeah, not time yet. The freakin' bullpen did let 'em down tonight. Especially Oliver IMHO. Rangers really need to win on Sunday and get this thing done... going to TB for game 5 has bad news written all over it.

Well, not to go all Nostradamus on y'all, but that played out about like I predicted. Damn.
Is anyone confident we can win this Game 5 in Tampa? Lee will either prove his real worth, or we become only the 2nd team to choke away a 2-0 lead in a divisional series.

it's not lee i'm worried about...it's this lineup trying to resemble the rangers circa 1998 (hr cuts instead of getting on)
anyone else wonder why rapada wasn't on the roster for this series? game 3 had his 2 or 3 lefty hitter appearance written all over it
we wasted 2 games here, esp game #3....even if we win tues it's advantage yanks.

Very disappointing not to close it out in The Ballpark. However, it now comes down to a one-game series in Tampa. I like the chances with Cliff on the mound.

I know there's a lot of disappointment but suffice to say I think the way things are set up favors the Rangers. If I were a Ranger fan I'd be a lot more concerned going back there on 24 hours rest but the Rangers have over 48 - and Tampa doesn't exactly have the greatest home field advantage either as the Rangers have already proven. Their momentum will be slowed in the off day.
