Greatest World Series game ever??
 
If you're a baseball fan and didn't watch tonight's World Series game, you may have missed the greatest Series game ever. Although there were 5 errors committed early on, the rest of the game had too many twists and turns to mention. St. Louis became the only team in WS history to score in the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th inning of a game. Stan the Man was in attendance and looks great, but tide and time wait for no man; not even "The Man".

It was a great game. No question about it. Some of the luster was lost for me because I didn't care who won. I was not a fan rooting for their team, but rather a bsaeball fan just enjoying the game. Like Bobby Valentine said on the radio "It was the prettiest, ugliest game I ever saw."

Wow...what a game!

This game is what they mean by "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat".

Gonna be tough for tonight's game to match the excitement of game 6.

The only one that really matters is the last one anyway. They should just play one inning and quit wasting so much prime time TV space.

This was the part of the game that made it a classic.

Unforunate for me that I was watching the television and then the television watched me. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..........................

I wish I had stayed awake. :)

Ah, Baseball
 
This is why I love baseball. It's played all the way to the last out...however long it takes. They can't lay down on the ball to assure a win.

Several years ago, I came home from bowling and turned on the tv to catch the 9th inning of a game. I don't even remember who was playing; just that the game went another 9 innings...2 games in 1.

Would love to see the Rangers win, but it won't be a gimmee for either team. I just hope tonight is another exciter and not a blowout for one.:wave:

Really enjoyed the game. Lots of scoring!! I really wished that the Rangers could have gotten that last out in the 10th.

I think that game 7 will go to St Louis.

My team was knocked early but I will be watching and rooting for the American League team.

GO RANGERS!!!!

I too did not care much who won, although being from kansas city we usually root against st louie (kc is the easternmost western city in the u.s., st louie is the westernmost eastern city in the u.s.) but i found the game riviting. i thought tejas had it won three times only to see the cards come back from the edge of disaster. st. louie seems to be a team of destiny the way the whole season has gone, and if they win i will take some pride in a home-state victory. Either way, i will be glued to the tube for it all tonight!

I don't know if this has already been reported here but the Dallas Fox affiliate called the game "won" by the Texans with details to follow. OOOOPS! Sounds like a Dewey / Truman report.

I agree
 
I agree that it was certainly one of the most exciting games I have ever seen. So many mistakes and then clutch hitting and then more mistakes and more great hitting. Score almost matched the Jets/Flyer hockey game.

Probably see about 5 runs tonight but hope it is a well played exciting game with no one being a 'goat' but someone being a hero.

Napoli or Freese for MVP? What do you think?
