This could be it tonight. Personally I'm hoping for a game seven, simply because I like my World Series to be described in one word: epic. Seven games helps with that.

Is it just me, or has this series been kind of epic? We're not talking '91 epic or anything, but still, fun to watch.
Tonight feels like a must-win for the Rangers. If they lose tonight they have to win twice in St. Louis, and I get the feeling that Cardinals fans would sooner gas Busch Stadium and burn it to the ground than let that happen. But then again, what do I know.
Carpenter threw six innings and won Game 1 for the Cards, and in fact might have gone further but his spot came up during a rally in the bottom of the sixth. His Game 5 three-hit shutout to knock the Phillies out of the playoffs might still be, for me, the single-game performance of this post-season, with apologies to Albert Pujols in game 3 of the Series.
Carpenter has won a game in every series for the Cards; Wilson has lost one in every series for the Rangers, including Game 1 to Carpenter. He has a 7+ ERA in the post-season. He's made it through the sixth inning once in those four starts. He's not pitching too well at the moment - this after posting a 1.21 ERA in September for Texas. Curious.
Lineups: TBA.

Part of me wants the Rangers to win the series, because they were there last year and it'd be tough to go two years in a row and not win it at least once. But part of me wouldn't mind seeing the Cardinals win either, especially if this does end up being Pujols' last season in St. Louis. It's always good to go out on a high. But I'm not picking one team or the other. I picked the Tigers and Brewers in the Championship Series. How did that turn out?
But I gotta root for the Rangers tonight, because all I want are good games and a good series. A series that starts out 2-0 gets dicey real quick like.
The guys on the MLB Network are expecting a better game from Garcia this time, since it's cold out. LEGS! STUFF! SINK! FRESH!
Colby cheese. Throw 'em the Colby cheese.

We missed the ALCS game, but here's our chance to nerd out about pitchers batting. Oh, and laugh at Kyle Lohse should he fail in epic fashion tonight. Enjoy the game!

This is the part where I apologize because I thought the games started at 3:30 instead of 3:00. Oops.

Friday Playoff Game Thread: Let's Get This Started
I love October baseball. I do. I'm a Twins fan, but I'm a Twins fan at least in part because I love baseball. Incredible pitching performances, clutch hits, game-saving double plays, life and death with every pitch...it just doesn't get any better.
So if you're listening at work or just chilling at home today, feel free to hang out here and chat about the best that the 2011 baseball season had to offer. Here's what's on tap for today's games.
Game 1, 4:07pm CDT
Tampa Bay Rays (91-71) at Texas Rangers (96-66)
Matt Moore has one career start for the Rays. Good for that guy. He's going up against the soon-to-be-coveted C.J. Wilson. I like the Rays for this series, in five games, and Moore would be a great story if he came out and led them to a game one victory...but today I'm picking the Rangers to take game one.
Game 2, 7:37pm CDT
Detroit Tigers (95-67) at New York Yankees (97-65)
This pitching matchup coul be huge. Justin Verlander, who is the best pitching in the American League and dude it's not even close, against C.C. Sabathia, who I'm pretty sure is the fattest pitcher in the American League. In this series I like the Tigers in four, and I'm definitely taking the Tigers in game one.
Enjoy the games everyone.
