It was perhaps appropriate for such an emotional day that Jorge Posada dissolved into tears shortly after beginning to read a prepared statement Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. There is crying in baseball, it seems, and that’s OK, especially at a retirement press conference.
But there were also smiles and a stroll down the basepaths as Posada [...]
“It Ain’t Over ‘Til it’s Over” – Yogi Berra
This quote has never been more accurate and more worthy than this. The St. Louis Cardinals were in 2nd place 10.5 games in the end of August and came back to make the playoffs. If there were ever a perfect example to the phrase, “never give up” [...]
They actually came back three times but twice with the game on the line. This was the second best World series Game Six I’ve ever seen. The “Buckner game” is the only one that tops it. But then again, the Rangers blew it twice! Texas fans must be freaking out, with one strike away and [...]
The Cards most important proponent and post season savior, Chris Carpenter, pitched a great game but his offense was unresponsive. He hurled 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs on two solo homers. Apparently, it was good enough as the Rangers took a different pitching route to hold the Cards from any more real damage:
But if you [...]
MLB Recap:
ARLINGTON — In the annals of Rangers pitching, this will rank right up there with Kenny Rogers’ perfect game, Nolan Ryan’s two no-hitters and Cliff Lee’s brilliance in the first two rounds of last year’s playoffs.
This one, though, may exceed them all, considering it came in the World Series and kept the Rangers from [...]
Wow! That was a very interesting game and where the Cards proved once and for all, that they can play a slug match with anyone. Any opinion or doubt has been thrown out the window. The Rangers did play an amateur style of defense but were hitting the ball quite hard. The Cards were fortunate [...]
The Cards and the Rangers are playing to their expectations and making the 2011 World Series a memorable one so far. They are knotted at 1-1 and heading to Texas for games three, four and five. Although both games could have gone either way, we’re tied and now it becomes a 5 game series. Preview [...]
The one thing I love the most about Major League Baseball is its certainty. No team makes it to the World Series by luck, that’s for sure and that’s because of all the opportunities they “all” get, to make it to the big stage. They all go through a grueling 5 game and 7 game [...]
MLB.com Recap:
ARLINGTON — The Rangers still need to take three more in this American League Championship Series. As second baseman Ian Kinsler said, this one only gets them one win closer to their goal of returning to the World Series.
But it was still a big step, coming against the Tigers’ 24-game winner on a night [...]
The Show must go on and it will without the two top favorites, the Yanks and the Phillies. Arizona was eliminated in extra innings and the Brewers are in also.
Recap of three games:
Game 5: Cardinals 1 Phillies 0
PHILADELPHIA — No longer are the Cardinals just on a late run. Put away those “playing with house [...]
If I were a member of the New York Yankees, I would consider hibernation for the upcoming winter. I would not be caught walking the streets of New York. I would consider moving to the outskirts of Boston and live that emptiness of life along with the Red Sox fans. Why not? All the Yankees [...]
The 11-1 final score by no means reflects the closeness of Game 4. Granderson’s two clutch catches would have accounted for at least 4 more Detroit runs and would have changed the entire complexion of this game. The first catch was in the bottom of the first with the Tigers threatening (bases loaded-two outs) and [...]
Tonight’s matchup was as advertized but on the Tiger’s side. Verlander was great, except for the bad 1st inning and where the Yanks were able to score two precious runs. CC Sabathia was not pitching his A game and walked 6 batters. He was only good for 5.1 innings, as he gave up 7 hits, [...]
Max Scherzer was selected to pitch in game two and in turn, stop the Yankees from doing any more damage. The Tigers needed a solid game from him to have any chance of winning the series. Heading back to Detroit with a 1-1 tie and having Verlander on the mound would be the ideal scenario. [...]
Don’t you know Cano? Well, he will be a household name in the near future and around the world. Yankee fans know already and for a couple of years too. What about the man called “Super” Nova, was he calm and collective in his postseason debut? He pitched 6.1 innings, gave up 4 hits and [...]
