Probably to:

-account for rain delays

  • not have the two games overlap or at least as little as possible while maintaining high viewership

-Limiting the cancellation of episodes airing during prime time. Last night all these people were pissed because Xfactor didn’t air due to the rain delay.[/quote]

I guess, but a lot of people on the west coast don’t get to watch it. I guess I could have watched the beginning but I was at the beach. Another reason they should have it on TBS so I don’t have to listen to Joe Buck.

With you guys on joe, guys favorite website is TMZ what celeb gossip fag. Smoltz is the man for analysis.

I think they have one early and one late game so you can watch both without having to flip channels barring rain delays.

Coke walking Beltre in the 9th was the best thing he did, he was on the ball all day

CJ Wilson shits the bed…again.

Here’s hoping the Yankees or Red Sox sign him next year. LOLZ[/quote]

As a rangers fan, I would rather them not sign C.J. than overpay for him. And I don’t say that because he hasnt done well in the playoffs Ive thought that all year. Putting Feliz in the starting rotation along with the maturation of holland, ogando, and harrison can more than make up for his loss and save a shit ton of money.

I hope the Red Sox sign C.J. just to see how his straight edge ways clash with Lackey, Lester, and Becket’s Beer and wings n things in the clubhouse attitude

^Apparently the new rumour is that the Rangers will make a run at Sabathia if he opts out.

this LCS has had some ATROCIOUS defense, almost to the point it’s getting hard to watch.

DET played amazing defense for Fister, but booted the ball around for Verlander’s start. Brewers left Gallarado out to dry last night, and it’s looking like it’s continuing tonight.

This NLCS has some bad pitching. It seems like the opposite of last year.

^fuck, I can’t watch. Just like I couldn’t last night.

This may end up being the worst pitched World Series in history.

One reason I really wanted to see Detroit make the WS - Verlander and to a lesser extent Benoit and Valverde.

This looks like Texas’s year. I can’t see them blowing another WS.

Ya I thought Texas had it last year too. Might be the worst pitched WS as far as starters, but the bullpen war will be fun to watch. Im worried about how well the cards righties Pujols, Holliday, Freese, and switchy Berkman match up with texas three left handed starters. Feldman we be getting a lot of work.

^An interesting storyline for this series will be the bullpen specialists effectiveness on both sides being able to shutdown the other teams big hitters.

If Dotel and Rzepczynski can continue to be successful like they were against the Brewers, this could be a closer series than most expect.

I typically don’t root for AL teams, but I want the Rangers to win since they have a few ex Padres.

C’MON NOW RANGERS LETS GO

Washington got out coached by LaRussa in the first game.

lol!

I like the Rangers, they were in it last year and they should freaking win this year.

The Cardinals should not even be in the world series, I’m sorry. If they win, it’s be like the same as when the White Sox won in 2005.

I thought so

If someone told me Lewis would only give up one run in 6 2/3 I would be pretty damn confident in a Rangers win. No way did I think Garcia would hold the Rangers to three hits and make them look foolish in the process.

edit: fucking Craig lol

You would think Washington and Ogando learned their lesson from last night, but he pitched a fastball on the outside of the plate which Craig took the other way again.

This game is over. Cardinals will win the series in 5. Rangers will become the new Braves.

Washington is terrible at managing games. Guy just constantly makes poor decisions.

Rangers take the game right here.
