One team tonight will pull to within one game of a World Series title as the Texas Rangers play their final home game of the season, hosting the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the World Series. On the mound we see a Game 1 rematch, with C.J. Wilson and Chris Carpenter toeing the rubber. Wilson is trying to avoid becoming the first pitcher ever to lose four games in the same postseason.
Before the game, Matt Kemp will be presented with the Hank Aaron Award as the top offensive performer in the National League in 2011. Jose Bautista will receive the American League Award.
The Rangers are 1-3 all-time in postseason game fives, and this is the first time they have ever been tied 2-2 in a best-of-seven series.
The Cardinals are 12-15 all-time in postseason game fives, including 6-9 in Game 5 of the World Series and 4-3 in Game 5 of the World Series on the road. St. Louis has been tied 2-2 in nine different World Series, and they have won seven of those series.

The argument that Braun deserves to be the MVP is that he took his team to the postseason. But now Kemp is at the World Series and Braun is at home.

That we had to make a separate “best player” award because of semantics is really hard to explain to a non fan.

Lovato, who turned 19 in August
Lovato recently tweeted that she would love to meet pop superstars Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj, saying, “I would love to meet these women. Such powerful artists, with incredible talent. Thanks for inspiring me!”
Then Rihanna, being the sweetie that she is, tweeted Demi back and said, “I can’t wait,” to which Demi responded, “ah me too!! .” Isn’t it cute to see these pop divas being excited about meeting each other (and hopefully collaborating!)?
Apparently 19 isn’t too young for him.

Demi Lovato is one of the more recent additions to the Disney Channel’s pop star/actress fleet. From what I’ve gleaned, she’s not much of a singer or an actress, but that rarely stops anyone these days.

Haren and Carpenter tied for most regular season starts, with 69.
Weaver was just behind, with 7,458 pitches (and 67 starts). Lots o’ miles on those odometers.

but a lot of that is because they failed to get injured and miss starts

Not necessarily
But as an aside it worked for Kenley Jansen. He had one brief DL trip, then missed a month, then was lights out and fresh to end the year while Craig Kimbrel was busy helping the Braves expedite their October vacation plans.

Not my point
He was making the minimum which FBIhop just said he wasn’t.
In 2008 Pierre, Jones, Dewitt, and Kent were worse, but none of them had over 120 games played.
In 2009, only Martin and Furcal were worse.
Loney has technically never been our worst hitter, but since 2007 he’s never been in the top half of our most productive hitters.

What is the markup on Dodger single game tickets compared to season tickets?
And how many ticketbrokers will just buy a bunch of season tickets at discount then sell them above the season face price?
40% on average I’d say. You’d be a sucker not to do that if you were a broker.

by regfairfield on Oct 24, 2011 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions
Reading the last thread, it seems like a great deal for ticketbrokers bc they are going to buy tickets regardless.
Not sure its going to keep the current season ticket buying fans though.
Brokers are going to buy tickets only if they believe they can make a profit on the secondary market. Given the prices I was seeing on StubHub last season, I think it is hard to say. The secondary market could still be very weak even if the season sales go up a little. Last year the Dodgers put out a lot of nicely priced promotional deals, if they do that again as well…..

They showed a replay of Yadier’s RBI single earlier, and McCarver used that play as instruction to always take a hard turn around first on a single to left field because there hasn’t been a left fielder throw behind a runner and nail him at first base in five years.
Then, McCarver said “five years” one or two more times. Weird.

by Eric Stephen on Oct 24, 2011 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Other than John Madden
who is part cultural icon, isn’t McCarver by far the farthest removed from the game he played/coached of any national color man for the final game/series of the major U.S. professional sports? When Joe Buck called the last Super Bowl, Troy Aikman was his analyst on Fox, CBS uses Phil Simms. Mark Jackson has done the last few NBA finals.
You have to be about 40 years old or more to have a recollection of McCarver actually playing the game. Perhaps an analyst younger viewers might have heard of / seen play might help the eroding ratings for baseball in the younger demographics.
Follow @DavidYoungTBLA
- The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Can someone please explain
What the hell Tim McCarver was talking about with Yadier Molina rounding first base
Always round first base aggressively on a single to left field, because the left fielder almost never throws back to first base (directly or indirectly).
Of course, if you stray too far off first, it’s not that hard for the shortstop to take the throw from LF and gun the dude at first base, so some common sense needs to be applied too.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 24, 2011 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions
THANK YOU
McCarver said something along the lines of “there’s never no reason not to take a wide turn around first base”, and all those negatives did a complete Mind F*ck after a long day at the office. In fact, I signed on to TBLA right after he said that just so I could solicit you guys for an answer!
Yeah it was odd phrasing on McCarver's part
Part of it is really just common sense, really. Sure you can take a wide turn at first, but if people start getting crazy about it, more and more runners would get erased. It’s sort of a natural equilibrium.

Vegas wising up?
Game #2
Rangers vs Cardinals (Colby Lewis vs Jaime Garcia)
Money Line: Texas -113
Ron Total: 8 Over -105
Result: Rangers won 2-1 on 9th inning blown save.
Game #6
Rangers vs Cardinals (Colby Lewis vs Jaime Garcia)
Money Line: Cardinals -117
Run Total: 7.5 O +100
So the same to pitchers and the same park but nearly a 6% difference between win probabilities from the Vegas odds. And the run total has dropped by half a run. This in only 6 days. A really strange thing to see.
Tony LaRussa’s explanation that his bullpen didn’t hear Motte but instead Rzcypjafeojafeski sounds pretty bogus.
If they couldn’t hear what he said, wouldn’t they, you know, double check? And there is no way that Motte sounds anything like Rzcypafdkjafdksi’s name.
Heard the interview. He wanted Motte and Rzezafrazza up. They heard Rzeznik and Lynn. He called back again to check on Motte and they told him Lynn was ready.
Apparently when he went out to the mound to take out Rzeziprocity, he summoned the righty, thinking it was Motte in the pen, not Lynn. Seems fishy to me. My guess — he kept saying Lynn, while thinking he said Motte because he was confused. When Lynn came in, he panicked.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
I hate Flacco
last week he was making incredibly clutch throws with an intense amount of pressure bearing down on him. Today? THIS.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
I doubt Flacco would start on many other NFL teams.
And by that…how many NFL teams would want to trade for Flacco to be their starter?
depends on the price though
I think there are a dozen teams he could go to and start for, but many of those teams have a youth movment and a “qb of the future”
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
If I was the coach he would start for
Jets
Bills
Dolphins
Bengals
Browns
Titans
Jacksonville
Oakland
KC
Denver
Washington
Minnesota
Carolina
SF
Seattle
AZ

NY Giants

for actual football games – not fantasy? yes in a minute
The guy is 26 years old, has had great success in the league. Started as a rookie and before we start saying it is because he plays for Baltimore, remember that team with Boller and how well it did
He is strong, smart, big league arm, goes through his progressions….what is there not to like?

with another hilarious column, this one about last night’s game.
Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gets another mention for his foreboding tweet after Game 3:
TLR playing chess. The other dugout playing checkers.But in Game 5, La Russa was the one playing checkers. Wait, no, he was the one playing a game of Life with missing pieces, so he had to use broken spaghetti noodles to represent the family. Wait, no. Washington was playing “Manage the Baseball Game,” whereas La Russa was playing a game of “Point to the Doll Where the Baseball Game Touched You.” It was quite possibly the most memorable managerial performance in recent postseason history.
