The Rangers clinch home-field in their ALDS and Boston is where they belong in October. A good baseball day yesterday.

Many times during the season I was ready to write off the Cards - even turning the TV off! But, what a September they had. Who would have thought........

'Course, I don't think they'll get past the Phillies......but ya never know!

Man, I'd love to see Pujols, Holliday, or Berkman just take Cliff Lee yard over and over again.

The Rangers are hot and are going to be a tough out in the post-season. My condolences to the Boston fans out there, that was a tough pill to swallow, but at least you still have the Pats.

GO RANGERS!!

I couldn't sleep last night and turned on the TV to the Yankees game just before the bases loaded balk that broke the dam, in the eighth inning.  (The Yankees scored six runs that inning.)  I was reminded of the Phillthies offense.  I'd like to see the Brew Crew v. the Rangers in the WS--two teams that have never won it.

Well, the Yankmees are out.  The D'Bags and Brew Crew are tied in the sixth, but that could change in a second.

What a nice thing to wake up to (on my birthday, even!)--the Cardinals advance!  Though, Ryan Howard goign down is never a good thing.  The only guy on the Phill(th)ies I would be feeling worse for, if he went down like that, would be Raul Ibanez.

I want to see the Brewers and the Rangers in the Series--with the Brew Crew winning the whole shebang.

It went off, much to Justin Verlander's chagrin.

The bias in the play-by-play calls from Joe Buck has been disgusting already. Fox should've relieved him for someone else.
