World Series Game 3 Thread: Cardinals @ Rangers, 8:05pm

PrintThe series is tied at 1-1. Here are some facts about tonight's game, which, since it's being played on a Saturday night, will presumably not be inconveniencing the Fox network's programming:
* Josh Hamilton is hurt and will continue batting 3rd.
* The combined career ERA of the starters in tonight's game is 9.13. (Kyle Lohse: 4.64; Matt Harrison: 4.49)
* Free agent-to-be Albert Pujols had a .906 OPS during the regular season, which was the lowest of his career. The highest OPS on the Orioles belonged to Mark Reynolds, who had an .806.
* The over/under on number of lone star flags seen before you hate the very concept of Texas on a metaphysical level is 9.5.
* Mike Napoli was traded for Vernon Wells. Napoli 2011 regular season slash line: .320/.414/.631. Wells slash line: .218/.248/.412. Guaranteed money still due to Wells: $63,000,000.
* The game is being played in Texas, meaning we probably should not have any intentional walks to Nick Punto inflicted upon us, but really, who knows what these managers will decide, because they are in the pressure cooker, the narrative lens of "Is Tony LaRussa a genius?" is turned to them, and the act of observing disturbs the observed.
* No member of the Boston Red Sox will be participating in this contest due to Robert Andino. That's not really germane to the game itself, but it still makes me a little happy.

The morning games should all be interesting.
After that it gets sort of lame though.

Yeah...
I’ll take the under on the # of flags seen before I wish for Rick Perry to start yammering about secession again.

I'm definitely pro-Texas secession.

Too bad Craig was hurt for a long portion of the season.
He was putting up some fantastic numbers early during the summer (I discovered him through my fantasy team). It will be interesting to see what he can do over the course of an entire season.

Well, Elvis
if you had’nt been across the plate and headed to 1st base before the catcher had even caught the ball the ump may have been able to see that that pitch was actually a ball.

That inning was weak.

Motherfucker
why is Jeets dopey fucking mug up on my tv screen? Fucking FOX will do whatever it takes to work in a Yanker or Sawx reference.

I regard FOX as...Zed
Yank or Sux references as The Gimp.
And we are Butch and Marsellus.

butch doesn't get fucked though. he does the fucking.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
True.
That was a bit poorly constructed on my part. I guess what I was getting at was the FOX brings out the Y & S references as a means to instill fear and loathing in us. Not as a means of fucking us.

Speaking of which...
I saw a clip of some dude at OWS who had climbed up a 70’ tall sculpture of some sort. It looked like he was rocking an orange Wieters t-shirt. If so, awesome.

I certainly wouldn't mind one bit...
if Texas were to lose tonight, by say, a score of 30-3.
I drink more brewsters than Punky
It would be funny, but...
I automatically root against any team that’s won a World Series since the Orioles last did.
I don't think there is an NL team that could cause me to root for the Rangers to win a WS.
Maybe the Marlins, ‘cause it would just be the height of absurdity and injustice if they were to win 3 WS. But that’s about it. Otherwise, fuck the Rangers; always.

HEY!
The Mets are fucking awesome. My first baseball game was a Mets game. My dad grew up in Queens watching the Mets. I love my Mets!

The Mets are nothing like the Yankees.
The only reason to dislike them is 1969.Other than that they are a total underdog type of team and they don’t have a douchey, spoiled fanbase. Also, Mike Piazza is awesome.

I don't have anything against the Mets
I don’t feel fondly for them, but I might root for them in the playoffs under the right circumstances.
Giraffes have absurdly strong necks.
I love the city.
Until I was about 13 I spent all my summers in and around Long Island and NYC. I have a shirt that reads: “I (Heart, with a Mets logo inside the heart) New York, but I hate the Yankees.”

Wow, classy indeed.
Although you would think people in Texas would be deterred from crime by now.

Man
Now I don’t want to root for Texas either. It was already hard enough.
Can I just hope for both teams to lose?

I'm sure 'ole Bud
could figure out a way to have it end in a tie.

It really was a lame throw.
Dude was in the 1st row, and his throw only made it to the warning track.
But, Bravo AJ! for use of the term slapdick.

Way to hold 'em, Rangers
At some level I sorta wish the douchey Cards had hit 30, for obvious reasons. Oh well, Albert gets two more chances at it.
We still suck, but on Sept. 29, 2011, we did a Very Cool Thing. Yeah, we did that.
