Series to game 7

Posted on October 28, 2011 | Comments Off on Series to game 7

In the end, it came down to the Rangers oldest problem: their bullpen. They were scraping the bottom of their pitching barrel when the Cardinals pulled out the win in the 11th inning.

And even after putting in Derek Holland as a reliever and Josh “Hambone” Hamilton hitting his first home run in 82 at-bats to put them ahead by two in the 10th. So impressive that one. Pity it just wasn’t enough. But it could be the portent the Rangers need to win it all tonight. Wait and see.

UPDATE:  It wasn’t and they lost their second shot at the series in as many years, 6-2. But the odds are they’ll be back for another try in 2012.
