PatriotReign37 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The Rangers could not put the Cards away. Twice STL was down to its last strike with 2 outs and they pulled it out. I thought that Texas would take the WS this year after losing it last year, but Im not so sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I would be shocked if the Rangers won tonight. That game had to take alot of them. Getting within a strike of winning the World Series and then losing it in extra innings; if the the Rangers win tonight I will be stunned. That game last night was a friggin classic and why alot of us still love baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVM Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Once they came back from two down a SECOND time, down to one strike...just didn't feel like the Cards could lose. Amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 What is it with game 6 and the World Series? So many classic games. That was one of the more exciting games I've watched. The Rangers did some strange sh*t but what a set up for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 No such thing as momentum in baseball. Rangers can win tonight, hope they don't though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I knew the Cardinals would win the World Series the second they made the playoffs, as did every other Cubs fan on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Congrats to the Cardinals.They did what they had to do, and it was not easy. The Rangers were twice 1 strike away last night, and it's gonna kill them for the rest of their lives. But MLB makes it too easy for wildcards to advance, and home field riding on the menaingless All Star game is bullsh*t. The widlcard should get only 1 home game in the opening round.

CrazyCarl40 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Red Sox win 90 games and it's a huge disappointment. Cards win 90 games and they are on top of the world. Congrats to the cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Beauty of the baseball playoffs. Total crapshoot. "Crapshoot" sounds random. And while every roll of the dice is, over the course of multiple rolls of the dice you do have expectations of outcomes. Even with each outcome being random given the finite combinations there is a definite expectation over a series of multiple rolls. It's math.There are 36 possible outcomes, 7 should come up 1/5th of the time, and moving up and down(6/8, 5/9, 4/10, 3/11, 2/12) the each such combination outcome is less likely. As a player of craps,the predictable probabilities on the outcomes in a series and on a specific roll are actually were you make or lose money. And I hated Joe Torre trying to excuse sucking from 2002 with that "crapshoot" nonsense. When you have a team thatw as as loaded as those clubs you have no business losing in the playoffs to lesser teams. If anything his advantages in talent should have made the outcome even more predictable in his favor, like winning perhaps one of the final 4 games of the 2004 ALCS.

Bugg will I believe your premise is true, baseball is different. It might be the one endearing thing about it. No other sport, will sit (possibly) the best player four out of five days. As great as (insert pitcher name), in the playoffs they pitch, any then hand off the ball to the 2, 3 or 4. Could you see the Steelers/Packers or Mavericks/heat sitting their best players because they just had played? The Yankees and Red Sox or whomever (i.e. big market) has talent, but that can be negated in baseball more than any other sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
