World Series Game 1 Thread: Rangers @ Cardinals, 5p

In a surprise move, tonight's World Series game has been replaced by Manager Home Run Derby. Ratings are expected to soar.

C.J. Wilson (0-2, 8.04) vs. Chris Carpenter (2-0, 3.71).

Here we are, at the beginning of the end of the line. Well, it's all right, since there are no Giants, Phillies, Yankees or Red Sox in sight. Sure, the Rangers appeared in the World Series last year, and the Cardinals won it in 2006, but we're talking two teams outside the top ten in Opening Day payroll. Me, I'm pulling for the team in red.

Will the Keeping Up With the Kardashians camera crew continue to follow Bruce Jenner as he manages the Cardinals in the World Series?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that push to get Vin for the World Series did not pan out.

Cards inning:
Furcal single.
John Jay sacrifice, Furcal to 2nd.
Pujols IBB.
Mothballs UJTD.

And that's why you don't sacrifice when you have Pujols hitting behind you.

Clearly I missed a captivating game, given the record turnout here tonight.

I'm really not interested in watching the Rangers roll over for another mediocre NL team playing over their heads.
