This Allen Craig looks a bit of hot stuff.

I was leaning towards the Rangers, but the Cards are way more fun. Berkman, Craig. Hit central.

Albert Pujols has been criticised for an anaemic performance in the first two games with one writer describing him has "no leader".

Well the "no leader" hit 5 for 6 today including 3 homes runs.

Albert Absolute Gangbusters.

I've never seen such a run fest that wasn't on the Wii.

Cards replace their pitcher despite conceding only one hit in five innings because of a wonky radar. Bullpen guy's first pitch goes for a three run homer.

Merde!

... comes out of Poo Holes. Sorry, couldn't resist the juvenile humour. Shirley he has copped a barrage of similar sledges over the years??

So 2 games to 1 for the Cards but the Rangers in front in this one?

Sh!t 16-7 in game 3. Sounds entertaining. Shocked

Missed the slaughter. Farking motel didn't have foxy. this one was looking interesting until la Russa lost it.

If Robert Walls had written that about Pujols he'd claim he hit 5 for 6 BECAUSE he had read the article and realised it was correct and used it to rectify his problem

Try this linky, Q. Plenty of video highlights, including Pujols' 5 hit/3 homer effort in game 3.

Just settling down in front of it now - in English, fortunately tonight - @ Texas isn't a great timezone, but I'm there for 'one team being one game away from being one game away from winning the....' or however they just very Americanly explained it.

by skully Tue 25 Oct 2011, 03:26

Wow, 2-2 at the top of the 7th. Both teams have had an innings ended with 2 on base. Great game and great series.

by skully Tue 25 Oct 2011, 04:16

Rangers make 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th for a 4-2 lead.

by JGK Tue 25 Oct 2011, 04:45

All over.

Cards need to win the last 2 at home now.

by skully Tue 25 Oct 2011, 23:38

Time for Pooholes to step up.

by Yorkie Jill Tue 25 Oct 2011, 23:44

They actually pronounce it like that Skully. 'Poohawls', maybe.

by skully Tue 25 Oct 2011, 23:46

If I was Albert I would've insisted that the media pronounce it Pa-jols (rhymes with cajoles). Cool

by Yorkie Jill Wed 26 Oct 2011, 00:12

I thought it would be a bit like Puyol. Emphasis more on the 'y/j' but no. Poo.

by Bradman Wed 26 Oct 2011, 02:36

La Russa just can't help himself when it comes to changing pitchers just as Napoli steps up.

by Yorkie Jill Fri 28 Oct 2011, 01:55

Rain delayed game 6. Murky weather by all accounts in SL.

by JGK Fri 28 Oct 2011, 02:32

Another tight one in progress. Texas have a slight lead and their pitcher is doing well.

by JGK Fri 28 Oct 2011, 03:30

It's turning into an errorathon as the pressure starts getting to the players. 3 Es to Cards and 2 to the Rangers so far.

Currently 4-4 at the bottom of the 6th although Cards have bases loaded with 1 out.

by JGK Fri 28 Oct 2011, 03:32

And another error as the runner on 3rd base gets picked off FFS.

by JGK Fri 28 Oct 2011, 03:35

Which was followed by a wild pitch to move the other base runners around anyway.

Some seriously sh1t baseball going on at the moment.

by JGK Fri 28 Oct 2011, 04:11

A couple of homers to Texas - this is just about all over.

by skully Fri 28 Oct 2011, 04:25

Cards have choked in this series. How many times in the series have they left runners on bases??
