It might have been the best ever. I know all about Nolan. But this is the World Series and Holland was special tonight.

The Cards were dominated by Randy Wolf in game 4 to make it 2-2 as well.

I watched tonight's game, the jinx is dead! (I hope)

Well, the bottom line is that this is the most successful Rangers team in club history. We have won one more game in the World Series than we did last season against the Giants in our first appearance. I plan on leaving tomorrow for vacation but when I return, I expect to be discussing where we're going to place this team in the ranks of professional Dallas sports teams that have won a championship(s).

Ahh...what a great dilemma to be in.

I gotta say. The Rangers have tied the series at 2-2, but they don't seem to be the more dominate team right now. Against Detroit and the Rays you could just see the Rangers were better. Right now, it they don't seem to be playing with confidence.

Man, I hope CJ can put it together tonight. The Rangers can beat Carpenter. CJ just has to do his part. If they win tonight, then the Rangers can take this in six. If they lose tonight or this has to go to a game seven, I don't like the Rangers chances.

Great outing by Holland last night. That was just a beautiful pitching job by Holland last night.

We need this win tonight. We get this win tonight and I do feel like we'll win the championship.

I would agree with this, but the thing is that can all change real quickly. Last night was a good step toward it, and one night of the bats coming out strong and the Rangers can be in firm control.

Pujols still scares the hell out of me every time he comes up though.

Looking good Rangers!!


I thought Zoe deserved another mention.

Think i saw a stat that no pitcher has ever lost 4 postseason starts in one postseason, C.J has to come back to his old self and give us an important win.

If we lose tonight then it's going to be TOUGH to get a win going back to STL with Garcia on the mound.

Damn tough. Last night was definitely a must win, but tonight is pretty close to it as well.

CJ is due to have a good game, and Carpenter is due to have a bad one. Now will that happen? Who knows.

Carpenter is not a great pitcher, he is good, and has been great since the Cards started their run. But he should not be able to beat the Rangers twice. JMO.

CJ is the only pitcher to ever lose the ASG, DS game, CS game, and WS game in the same season. Ouch.

This is possibly CJ's last game in a Ranger uniform, hopefully he can come out on top, and I believe in him, he hates to lose and he hates bad performances.

Tonight is also a must win. I don't think we can take two in St. Louis.

I'm so incredibly tired of the Pujols love. Yes he had one hell of a game. But the national media is barely even mentioning Derek Holland today, I really don't understand it.

I want to win so badly. And I won't even be able to watch the game, because I have class.

But here is my prediction anyway. Rangers win 6-4. Both pitchers go 6.

I agree the odds of winning 2 in St. Louis would be very long.

Agree 100%. Tonight is the series, if we win tonight I'd say we have pretty good odds at winning 1 of next two. If we lose tonight, I don't think we win another, but would not put anything past this team at this point, they just don't quit. Nolan says we win tonight and wrap it up Wednesday night.
