Some great Ranger base runnin’ in the top of nine.

TX ties the series

Tonight was a nail-biter.

[dfwgator]

LaRussa blew it tonight....

I think we’re destined for a classic series.

[dfwgator]

Elvis was in the building tonight!

Great defense, a huge hit, and alert base running in the 9th.

[who knows what evil?]

Despite Washington’s best efforts; Rangers still squeak it out. Hell of a series; shame no one is watching.

[AGreatPer]

Cards gave that one away. Had it won.

[dfwgator]

We’re going the distance.

shame no one is watching

Game 1 had an increasing viewership from 14 to 16 million, according to tvbythenumbers:

[Game 1's] broadcast opened with a 7.0/12 (11.3 million) from 8:00-8:30 PM ET, and grew steadily throughout the night: 8.8/14, 14.4 million from 9:00-9:30 PM ET; 9.6/15, 15.5 million from 10:00-10:30 PM; and peaked at 9.9/17 with 16.0 million viewers from 11:00-11:30 PM ET.

That wasn't the best numbers, nor the worst.

I hope America was watching tonight...that was some intense ball. Andrus to Kinsler in the 5th..? That was amazing.

[West Texas Chuck]

Base running won that game tonight. Say what you want about Wash you people, but he is a better than decent manager.

Saturday here in Texas baby. We come home tied 1-1 and I am ready for some homers. This 3-2 and 2-1 stuff is giving me ulcers.

I like the sound of Texas Rangers next to 2011 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

It could happen.

[who knows what evil?]

Texas had one of the worst records in one-run games in all of Major League baseball...Washington just isn’t that good; he’s come close to getting canned twice. They could have won 102-106 games, even with all the injuries.

[dfwgator]

For sheer drama, nothing comes close to playoff baseball. This was old school baseball, great pitching, great defense, the Rangers put on a clinic in the ninth on how to play “small ball.”

[dfwgator]

Yes Wash’s in-game managing leaves a lot to be desired, but he’s certainly created a good clubhouse atmosphere.....not a lot of managers could have dealt with the whole Michael Young imbroglio at the beginning of the season as well as Wash did; that had the potential to tear the clubhouse apart if it was botched.

[EyeGuy]

Oh wonderful.

A lib devoid of the ability to deploy logic and factual support, just puerile name calling.

[RayChuang88]

Just before the World Series started, I had the feeling that it was going to turn into Home Run Derby, especially since the Cardinals and Rangers started to hit a lot of home runs during both League Championship Series.

But it appears that it will turn into pitchers' duels, with even the slightest fielding error being critical in the game.

[TomGuy]

Game 2 viewership averaged 14.28 million for Thursday evening.

The Big Bang Theory had 14.93 million.

I divorce you.

I divorce you.

I divorce you.

What if they win it? Don’t talk facts to me, I’m emotional.

That’s it, I divorce you ;)

[who knows what evil?]

I used to attend the Senators games at RFK back in the 60’s...I’ve suffered long enough. :-)

[who knows what evil?]

Audience built to nearly 20 million toward the end of the game, based on FOX press release at same site...anyone in ‘New York’ or ‘Boston’ or ‘Philadelphia’ who are in a snit because THEY aren’t playing are missing some real nail-biters.

When is the Wookie going to come and yell at everyone for drinking beer and eating hot dogs?
