What a game folks. Great pitching on both sides until the sixth inning, but after all said the Texas Rangers wanted it more. Cliff Lee was dominating all game long as he struck out batter after batter with great curve balls and with just overall tenacity on the mound in Tampa Bay’s dome.
When two good teams play each other, its hard to win three games in a row, even against bad teams. This series had the visiting club winning all games, so much for home field advantage. Personally I think that if Tampa doesn’t have the support of its fans throughout the season, why should they even be upset about the outcome. I’m sure somewhere in the land of alligators and oranges someone is saying ” I told you so.” I am so happy the Rangers of the American League have a chance to get to the dance, but they’ll have to get by the security guards called The New York Yankees. Very tough task, but not impossible.
The ALCS starts up Friday Night on TBS, who will carry the series, while the National League starts up on Saturday Night on FOX. Texas has home field advantage, if you call it that, as do the Philadelphia Phillies.
Day off tonight from baseball, I think I’ll listen to some Johnny Cash, what about you?
