Montgomery getting it done.

Yeah . Alittle shaky but that's to be expected on just a couple days of rest.

 

[Halladay]

Now I know why Dusty is winless in game 7's. Does he retire after this season or does Crane have the balls to move on from him?

What are your complaints with him tonight?

Please retire. I know I've said before that I was satisfied with most of his playoff decisions overall but this game chucks all of that out the window.. just retire please. The BP and pitching got you your ring last year. Ride off into the twilight please.

 

[Ratbath]

Abreu plunks Garver. We are laughing

 

[Halladay]

Abreu hits Garver.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Just leaving France in. That's the big one...

That being said the shitty performance by Javier and France aren't on him though leaving France in is.

The offense isn't on him either . This is just frustrating lol.

Thought maybe Brown could have gone 1 more inning. Maybe should have pinch hit Maldonado in his last ab. France was in too long but not sure if they had anyone warming because they didn't think he would struggle.

 

[JWK]

I'm praying for Tucker's body at this point

Yeah he should've PH Maldonado..


That said there is plenty of blame to go around

Tucker ,Pena, and Brantley disappearing
Home woes
Stranding RISP
Inconsistent SP the whole year.

The list goes on.

 

[Halladay]

Game is over.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Omg this is like G6 of the 2021 WS all over again... lol. Thanks for showing up for the fans again.

Well congrats to any Rangers fans on here. Good luck to any Rangers, Diamondbacks, or Phillies fans rest of the way. It sucks being up 3-2 and choking but I guess I can't complain because they won last year and can't expect to win every year. At least my favorite Japanese team is in the finals so I can look forward to that. Swords, see you next year (or if Astros makes a signing or a trade, I'll see you in that thread).

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

@Halladay I'm jumping on the Phillies bandwagon.. Assuming you get past the Dbacks your mission is to take out Texas. If they win the WS we'll never hear the f***ing end of it.

 

[Ratbath]

It’s still the sixth. Y’all shut up

The only reason that I'm even slightly miffed isn't because we lost it's not winning a single home game...again..

The only team to ever do that and we're about to do it twice.

You might only be on it for 24 hours . We will see. I dont actually know any Ranger fans in real life.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Would like to add Will Smith streak continues. 3 straight trips to the World Series. Can he go 3 for 3???

Godspeed and wipe this from your head. At the end of the day we have 2 rings to look back on and this teams window is still firmly open . We'll be fine.

Ran into a couple a few years back but they talked as if Juan Gonzalez and Pudge were still on the team... Think they were drunk as hell. Nice gents though... I'm sure I'll see a few more when the WS starts. This is South Florida after all . The place where you can go your whole life without seeing fans from a certain team only for a bunch to magically materialize when said teams are in the finals or won it.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Would be hilarious to get back into this game courtesy of a Chapman meltdown.

Here is the culprit.



I blame you Ted Cruz!

 

[Ratbath]

Not as funny as abreu playing through a suspension for hitting a guy and then hitting another guy

 

[Terry Yake]

garcia again lmao

 

[Halladay]

Rofl Garcia. Good job Maldonado.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Shit happens... And I doubt it was intentional. Plus did anyone honestly expect him to sit during the playoffs? Players usually serve it the next season. I think the last time a player was going to serve one during the playoffs was Chase Utley and he won on appeal.

 

[Terry Yake]

dbacks-rangers would be the most boring WS in quite some time. hopefully the phillies pull it off in game 7 just for the entertainment factor
