The Giants are up 2-0, after their home matches. have looked rather good, and not helped by some dodgy texas pitching. Anyone think Texas can come back from this? Except for dg_dave? smile

The majority of Texas fans have gone quiet, as expected. There are a few here and there, but they are not talking so big and tough anymore.

I'm still rooting for them, but am not in the happiest of moods.

We still beat the Yankees! (and that you cannot take away, ALV)

No, I cant. Well done on dethroning the mighty Yanks. But, that isn't the end of the rainbow.

Rangers win Game 3 4-2. I'd love to see a game 7 here

Mitch Moreland's 3 run "Jimmy Jack" helped.

"Jimmy Jack" is a term by Eric Nadel, the voice of the Rangers.

Well, Giants 4-0, thanks to a great perfomacne by Madison Bumgarner. 3-1 may be a bit much to come back from now

Yep, one heck of a game by Bumgarner. One more in Texas, but even if the Rangers win and taking into consideration the good job they've done on the road this post-season; 3 in a row might be a bit much to ask. Hopefully they still make a series out of it though.

Two months ago I would have been happy if the Rangers could even win the first play-off series. They have accomplished so many "firsts." Never before have they won one, and here they have won two series! Even if they don't win the World Series, they are "winners" in my book. Maybe they will yet get their act in gear and win a couple or three more games -- they are always full of surprises. Last night The Ballpark In Arlington accommodated their largest full house ever. (As for the Cowboys -- Yeck!) GO RANGERS!

Why do they play the game? To win championships. Not to almost win championships. There is no reason to sugarcoat it. Only one team can win. The rest are losers.

Well done to the San Francisco Giants...outpitched, outhit, and outran the Rangers. And to think: they earned their playoff spot on the last day of the season!

Congrats to the Giants...well played.

Yep, played quite the series. Pretty awesome to see Renteria win the MVP too.

This came from a Yahoo Sports article:

Quote:
The Yankees are used to flexing their financial muscle to land free agents of their choosing. Baseball’s top four salaries this year belong to players in pinstripes: Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Derek Jeter, and Mark Teixeira, whose combined $100.5 million exceeded the entire payrolls of all but eight major league teams.


This says that 22 of 30 teams spent less for their team than the Yankees did for only four players! I'm sad to see Lee go, but if he is happy playing in Philly, it wasn't my decision where he plays in 2011.
