Guys, did you really expect we'd sweep this series, even after going up 2-0? It's very very hard to sweep any team in the regular season. That gets magnified in the post season. I would've loved to celebrate tonight, but I didn't really expect to. We are still in the driver's seat here guys. Toronto has to complete a 3 game sweep to win this thing. Good luck. Come back tomorrow and cheer for the clinching win.

Greed is a terrible thing! :)

Didn't Faulkner make the post season roster? But ya if no one else was literally available then ya I guess no choice. That's why I would have let Chi Chi pitch to almost the rest of the game and save our truly big guns.

Faulkner left off

Three balls smoked, three outs. Baseball is funny.

Yes at least Josh got hits and Prince hit one hard. We need them to do well to be a threat

Never expect a sweep, however if the Rangers had come out and taken it to the Blue Jays it wouldn't have surprised me. Better luck tomorrow. Gotta score more than 1 run

Only thing that puzzled me was not bringing in Cheech to start inning. 3 run bomb was huge mistake. Also why did they warm ip Price. Guess Price does not start tomorrow

RA dickhead always gives up a few runs with his kooky knuckler. If we don't get 3+ on the board tomorrow then this team is chokin.

Frank Thomas bias pretty annoying. Guess I can't be pleased at times. I know hearing the complaining re Harold Reynolds although true IMO gets old. Perhaps Tulo wakes up but please no more Big Hurt gloating

If the knuckleball is effective and spot on then it can shut down any offense. Choking is a bit of a stretch IMO.

I was taking today's game into consideration also. They seemed a bit jittery, nervous, and over anxious. The pressure got to them tonight and it should have been on Toronto, but now it's on the Rangers.

If Holland exits early do you go to Gallardo or hold him for possible game 5 if Hamels gets in trouble early.

The pressure is not on the Rangers now. That is absolutely ridiculous. Not one single national media "expert" on ESPN, CBS, Fox, or SI picked the Rangers to win this series, nor did Vegas. The Blue Jays still have to win 2 in a row. They are facing elimination on the road. All of the pressure is squarely on them still.

If Holland can go five +, turn it over to BP

Well maybe to our pitching they part I agree. But for the rest, it looks like we are underperform and not handling the quirkiness of pitching. We miss Beltre too. A 3 run homer should have never happened. I amy feel some pressure but feel better leading series. Our normal relief pitchers have been lights out. So what's up.
