ALCS: (3) Texas Rangers vs. (4) New York Yankees

• mhs95_06

  Then Gardner complains on one that is a no doubt strike!
• mhs95_06

  Garndner too fast for the deliberately played DP attempt.
• Non

  

  What is Nelson Cruz's contract status? I was trying to look it up.
  
  Free agent?
• Non

  

  
  
  
  
• mhs95_06

  Rangers bullpen has to get 6 outs without giving up more than one run of their own to save the Rangers win.
• mhs95_06

  When the bullpen came in a HR by the Yanks and the Rangers are still ahead, but now they didn't get an out yet and walked two making a HR now put the Yanks up. Pathetic!

  It's sad to see the rangers bullpen about to blow this game after a great performance by Wilson
• Non

  

  5-4 Rangers
  
  ARod 2-run single
  
  no outs
• Leonardo

  

  Rangers up 5-4 in the top of the eighth. There is no outs with runners on first and second for Robinson Cano.
  
  Clay Rapada is the fourth Texas pitcher of the inning.
• mhs95_06

  Young could have gotten in front of that A-Rod shot!
• Non

  

  bullet to center
  
  tie game
• Leonardo

  

  What a comeback by New York! Still have runners on first and third with no outs
• Non

  

  who else do they have in the bullpen?
  
  haha
  
  Ron Washington trying everybody
• Non

  

  just bring in the closer to try and get out of this
• mhs95_06

  Should Washington have taken Wilson out to start the inning to give the inept bullpen a 4 run lead to protect, or did he do right in trying to get more out of Wilson and failing to get an out and give the bullpen only a 2 run cushion?
• Non

  

  I think this is just on the players, the pitchers in the bullpen.
  
  The starter went as far as he could and they had a good lead.
  
  It's up to the bullpen to be good.
• Non

  

  Thames keeps it going
  
  6-5 Yankees
  
  still NO OUTS
• mhs95_06

  Looks like the Reds 8th inning bullpen woes of two years ago!
• Crimson streak

  

  What a choke job by the Texas bullpen
• Non

  

  not exactly household names, these guys out of the pen besides Oliver
• Leonardo

  

  Posada nearly just capped it off but Cruz catches it at the wall
• Non

  

  damage may be done anyway
  
  but this is really big
  
  Gardner can up the lead to at least two
  
  if he does that I think it's game over, one run still a chance
• Non

  

  6-5 Yankees
  
  disastrous top of the 8th for the Rangers
• mhs95_06

  On the 5th pitcher they finally get one who gets the outs, but he also gives up a broken bat single that drives in the lead run for the Yanks!
• Non

  

  the difference between one run and two is huge with Rivera looming
  
  that was still a good job by Holland to get Granderson and Gardner
