If last night's game took place with Yankees or Sox rallying, it would lauded as greatest game ever--and that includes bonehead plays. It's just part of the annoying media slant which has ESPN acting as a regional sports network. Love Mariano though--anyone who attacks him (know why because no reason to inject him/NYY in this talk) can snort some coke with Monty Brewster and the rest of Hackensack Bulls. Or with Ron Washington.

OK, I'll give in to the Board police who have decided that bringing up Mariano in this thread was inappropriate. The Texas Rangers blew THREE saves in one game -- more than Mariano in his entire WS year career! -- and were unable to close out their first ever WS title as a result. Am I the only one who thought of the most successful closer of all time? Who also happens to be far and away the most dominating and successful closer in WS and Post Season history? Seemed pretty obvious to me. I bet Nolan Ryan would have been delighted to have Rivera on his team last night.

And the Cardinals probably wished they had Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig on their team when they went five games (minus game 3) without hitting. Or Stan Musial. That's just about as relevant as Texas wishing for Rivera. Someone can't take a hint. ;D

Beyond the bad positioning and the question of whetherhe should have been in the game at all, if Cruz' first two steps are not in on that ball, it is in his hip pocket and thre's a parade in Arlington. Just a terrible. Read on a very catchable ball.

Papelbon signs with Phestoons. Here's hoping he's truly shot.
