Fundamentals Rangers........

Damn, would have been nice to at least make it 6-3 or 6-4 there. I'm guessing CC is done now, no reason we can't get too there bullpen. Ahh granderson with a double damn.

Leadoff man gets on. was nice to see Kirkman get out of the 6th.

Nice wild pitch. Cmon score Andrus from 2nd..

 

Looks like C. C. is done for the game, and Kerry Wood comes on to pitch for the Yankees.

Top of the 7th. 6-2 Yankees.

Andrus at bat. He gets an infield hit. 1 on.

Young at bat.

Wild pitch to the backstop. Andrus over to second.

 

thats not what we needed.

Berkman strikes out, ending the 7th.

Got to leave.

 

Vlad comes through with a 2 out 2 rbi double to give us a 3-1 lead. What a clutch piece of hitting. He chased Phillipe Hughes from the game. I knew they left him in there too long.

 

Looks like the Rangers are heading to the world series.

 

Lewis is still dealing. Cmon get this last hitter.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Feliz coming into the game to finish the Yankees off.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Feliz K's the first batter.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

2 down.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

10 mph difference between his fastball and Colby Lewis'.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Yessssssssss! We're going to the world series!!!

 

This was huge for the Rangers because now they won't have to use Cliff Lee in a game 7.

 

Yeah he will be well rested for game 1, I think we will win game 1 because he's starting and I think he's pitching better than Halladay and Lincecum. Tomorrow is going to be a tight game in Philly.

 

Rngers win and on there way to the World Series. This goes to show you that if you build team chemistry and good farm system you don't have to go out and buy players to go to the Big Dance.
25 years of suffering is over for me now we're going to win it all.

 

Drink up, Roy!! Congrats to you and your Rangers!
