    What a birthday! Just got home and about to head to bed so I'll keep it short tonight. Holland and Feliz dominated the Cards lineup. Bats do enough to get the job done. Rangers win 4-0, tie Series 2-2.

    Holding the flag on the field before the game, during the National Anthem, and while former President Bush threw out the first pitch, was absolutely incredible. I wore a small video phone camera around my neck the whole time, so I've got the whole thing on video and a ton of pics. I'm not messing with that right now, and have to work tomorrow and then will be headed to Game 5 after work so I may not have time to get that up until Tuesday. Absolutely a great and moving time. I think thenavarro was a bit of a softie and a couple tears rolled down my cheek during the Anthem. Just awesome, awesome, awesome.

    Good night!!!

    Very, very, very cool, Mike. Awesome night for you (not so much for me, though!) image

  • My wife is totally burnt on baseball now that our Tigers are out. Last night, I said, "Don't change that channel! I want to see Bush throw out the first pitch."

    She rolled her eyes (she fugging HATES Bush).

    We watched. I was grinning ear to ear. I said, "Come on Angie! He's cool! You telling me you wouldn't like to go out drinking with him?"

    "CLICK"....channel change to Glee on DVR. I proceeded to read stories to my daughter and fell asleep in her room.

    Side Note: Is there a thread on when Nolan Ryan's head is going to explode?

    I hope it goes 7 games now.

    Glad she's open minded enough not to let her feelings for a non-factor in the game keep you from watching a near-historic night.

    WOW! Just home from Game 5 with a big smile on my face. Headed to bed again, but wanted to update the thread with the win. One more to go to end 40 years of futility.

    GO RANGERS!!! IT'S TIME! GET IT DONE!

    Only an hour and a half or so until game time. Unfortunately for me, I've got the final rehearsal tonight for a play I'm in with my kids, so I'm going to miss the game. (can't use TV's, radios, or mobile phones or PDA's, so I'm shut off from communications during the rehearsal) If it happens to go to Game 7, I won't see that one either cause of the actual performance. Aaaarrggghhhhh. The most important games in Rangers history and I'm going to miss them. I've probably watched or listened to 145 of the 162 regular season games, attended every home playoff game, and now this, LOL.

    At least it will be a good lesson for my kids on honoring commitments.

    I'm going to DVR it, but don't know if I'll be able to resist the urge to check the radio or TV or internet or cell phone when I get out of rehearsal around 10:45 or so.

    Come on Rangers, get it done, and I'll dang sure enjoy the victory, even if I don't get to see it live!!!!

    Just got home, the Director came up before the production and told me to leave after my scenes were done as she knows this is important to me. Very cool. On the way home, I heard Beltre and Cruz go yard. Get to watch the rest. Come on guys!!!!

    You're lucky you haven't had to witness the awful defense so far in this game, on both teams. Lewis pitched lights out, but you can't tell by the score board. 7-4!! image

    yep, several "little league" type plays.

    Were the first six innings really played poorly? I'll have to watch them if we win. If we lose, I'll delete the recording before I ever press play, LOL

    OMG, one more freaking strike and Nellie plays a fly ball like a MF idiot! There are scores of fast little leaguers, American Legion players, and high school kids that would have made that catch. Oh well, I still love ya Nellie.
