It is the top of the 7th and Texas leads 4-0. Interesting. The kid is still on the mound for Texas. Boggs went in and gave up a home run..

I am for the Cards (National is my league), but I have to say I enjoy seeing "Wash's" animation during the games. He seems like a good guy and good manager- afterall, this is the Ranger's second WS in 2 seasons. I do like Nolan Ryan too. he pitched what, 7 no hitters in his career (most of any pitcher???)? And he was in his early 40's when he pitched his last. Some kind of pitcher! Have to give him that... even though he and George "W" are such good pals. LOL, actually, the love of baseball is probably the only thing I have ever liked about George W Buch.

Go Rangers.

Holland is young. He's certainly stepped up to the plate and displayed his metal tonight. Very strong under so much pressure.

I love Ron Washington. Brilliant manager.

I can't stand G. Bush. What connection does he still have with the Rangers other than being friends with Nolan Ryan? They need to throw his worthless ass out of the stadium.

Holland picked a good time to pitch the game of his life. Very impressive.

Love watching Washington do the "Wash" - reminds me of an overexcited lil kid with his bouncing and stuff.

Gonna be a tuff series. Still thinking the Cardinals can pull thru this - tho it helps to spread the runs out.

I know, and he seems to be at all the Ranger big games. I don't think he still has any ownership in the club.

This is really an exciting World Series. Every game a completely different story!

Awesome! That home team crowd is adding to the excitement. This means we get to see another game. I expected a come-back fight from the Rangers, but NOT like that.

WHO wants this more??? to be continued.

gosh, this is great.

I'm loving this Series! So glad that Holland got out there with his stuff. Yup, the home team crowd is quite awake!

I think the Cards will be back with some punch, however. Both of these teams are determined and both giving baseball fans a great show!

This is the stuff the history of the game brings home to me. How many WS have brought some cheer and time away from worry about the economic mess we are in for just everyday people! I love seeing fans enjoying themselves at a ball game. Reminds me of the stories my parents used to tell about their "couting & sparking" during the Depression years at a few ball games. Some happy moments in the midst of a very scary time.

Holland STUNNED me. I was worried when they announced he was pitching. I thought he gave his all. When Ron came out to get him off the mound it seemed to me like he was asking to stay in. Felice, who I generally like, even though he is a bit wild, scared me. But he did okay.

And yes Napoli did awesome!! Great hit. I swear when the Camera panned to Jackson I could hear him say (in his head) "Thank Zues that was not my pitch". or something equally fun.

Looking forward to tonite!!
