CONGRATULATIONS to the Texas Rangers - on to the World Series!

Oh Vlad.....that was ugly.....

Has he played the field at all this year? Looked pretty rusty.

 

[Planogirl]

That was ugly.

I'm surprised to hear that any of the Yankee fans are still being nasty. Geesh, move on already. Of course, since the Yankees lost to the Rangers, I suppose that SF would have beaten the Yankees by even more? That makes no sense.

Has he played the field at all this year? Looked pretty rusty.

He's usually a DH (Designated Hitter, not dear husband ) so he usually never plays in the field.

Why is he out there? I'll bet Wash sits him tomorrow night - save him for the home games.

Of course, this A's fan is thrilled that the Giants are winning this first game. If the A's can't be playing post-season, I'll root for the other hometown team.

I hope Wash benches him tonight...In my opinion he was a key factor is a few of those runs scoring.

Well, they fought hard. Tomorrow's a new game.

They hit the ball and scored against awesome Giant pitchers, but the pitching fell apart and they made so many mistakes. Hopefully CJ will hold it together tonight and the bats come alive again. 7 runs scored last night against great Giant pitchers is nothing to be ashamed off, and 7 runs will usually win a baseball game, but not when you let the other team score 11!

But like you said, today is another day....GO RANGERS!!

When my team gets beat I usually want the team that beat me to do well, because it makes my team look better. But they are just bitter that the Evil Empire got spanked in the ALCS.

I would HOPE your DH doesn't play the field!!! Okay folks, I'll be here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress...

I'm kind of not believing this. I was living in Dallas when the Rangers started up. This is sort of in the same category as the Saints finally winning.

I'm a new Ranger fan (well, since 2004 when I married my husband). But DH has been a Ranger fan since he was a little boy and this is just a dream for him!

Yeah, that's what I meant. Even though they made a bunch of mistakes (and knew it) they didn't give in. Like DS said, the boys are going to fight until someone has four wins. If the Giants walk away with this, it will be because they earned it.

P.S. Whoop 'em tonight, CJ!!

Lol...I'm not responding on the Yankees thread, but apparently they think that Karma is the reason why the Rangers are losing tonight. Not sure how that works.

But I'm just happy for my Rangers to be at the World Series while all the Yankee fans are wishing their team was there!

I saw that. I kinda reminded them that 1 game doesn't make a series, after all, Yanks did win Game 1 of the ALCS, right?

Obviously, I don't have a horse in this race, but I hate that kind of thing. And honestly, most Yankee fans aren't like those posters. I do get rooting against the team that beat yours (I do it all the time, I was thrilled when the Giants beat the Phillies), but you have to move on when your team loses. But they are probably the fans that say "we won" and "they lost". I can't stand that.

I was scared to death of getting swept by the Yankees after that first loss. Thankfully the Rangers weren't!

I'm upset after last night's loss, but it's the best of 7, not one game! But whatever the outcome I will always love my Rangers!

I think what bugs me the most about the Yankees and their fans are things like, "Oh, Cliff Lee beat us??!! We must buy him!! We will offer him an insane amount of money because we must not have competition!" But the Rangers just signed a 3 BILLION dollar contract with Fox, so it looks like the Rangers may be doing the same soon!

Hopefully they got the jitters out of their system....

I'm not worried and have full confidence in our boys.

Go Rangers!!!!!!

Did you guys see Ross on the Jay Leno show last night? He interviewed both teams .... it was pretty funny! I think this is the link: http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show...ies/1256560?__source=tnt|home|featured|recent

Lol!!! I love Ron Washington...even though sometimes I question his madness!

 

[EveDallas]

Lol!!! I love Ron Washington...even though sometimes I question his madness!

I love watching Washington in the dugout during a game - the way he waves his arms and jumps around. He looks just like a fan watching

 

[MichelleVW]

We have seats right next to the dugout and got there really early one day in June.

Here are our seats where we can see into the dugout...

And here's Ron relaxing before a game. Yes, smoking is bad, but I thought it was a cool moment of him alone in the dugout before the action started!

Great pics! Wash is a great manager who really seems to care about the players (although I will say he needs to get Vlad the hell out of the outfield tonight).

 

[MichelleVW]

Man...what a pitching match this is tonight! The Giants pitcher is a beast!! Maybe the Yankees should buy him instead of Cliff Lee!!

I know! CJ's not doing bad either. Now if only our offense could get a couple runs on board....

If only Ian's ball had just gone a tiny bit further!! I think they are pulling CJ for the 8th...that is nuts...he is doing just fine!

I hope they pull a miracle out of the butts and win this, but I don't know....

Yeah, I'm getting discouraged. And Ian's ball totally should have been called a run.

I feel so bad for CJ...he's pitching an amazing game....but they just can't freaking score!
