2011 Blue Jays/MLB Thread

Anyone watching this game?  It's awesome.

Rangers were up 7-5.  Cards tied it.  In extras now, Rangers went up 9-7 on a Hamilton HR.  Cards were down to their last out and Berkman singled in the tying run.

Going into the 11th now: 9-9.

Cards walk-off in the 11th with a HR.

Wow.

Freese coming through in the clutch for the Cards tonight. Tying RBIs in the 9th, walk off HR in the 11th. Huge emotional lift for the Red Birds and a huge letdown for the Rangers.
 
That was an entertaining game. Sloppy as all get out. Like, guys doing things I couldn't have gotten away with in little league kind of sloppy. but entertaining all the same.
 
1 strike away from winning the World Series TWICE and Texas doesn't get it done. Cruz is going to lie awake all night thinking about that fly ball. Pure agony for the Rangers and their fans, but great game to watch for everyone else.
 
What a comeback for the Cardinals!!  And what an entertaining baseball game that was!

Did anyone notice the "Blue Jay.com" advertising on the rotational ad sign behind home plate, for all the world to see?  That was nice!

That's a digital ad that each broadcaster can display differently to their target audience.  Nobody in the US saw Blue Jays advertising there.
 
That was likely the most entertaining baseball game I have ever watched.  Just incredible.  To be 1 strike away from a championship not once, but twice.  Seeing the emotion Nolan Ryan and his group were going through was pretty intense.  On pins and needles ready to explode in celebration to pure heartbreak.  If that were the Jays, I don't know how I would have reacted. 

Now, is there any way St. Louis doesn't win tonight?  They have all the momentum in the world while Texas is crushed, and they just seem like a team who destiny may be dictating should win it.

Thanks for clarifying.  Didn't know about the digital advertising for each broadcaster.  I wonder how many people in general know this.

I've actually noticed it from time to time on hockey highlites - the ads appear on the glass behind the net.

Edit: Looked it up - http://www.sportvision.com/pvi-sports.html

If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say that none of the athletes are real either - it's all computer generated! ;D

Folks watching the Fox broadcast are seeing a heavy rotation of ads for Fox programming. That's why Sportsnet is using the MLB International feed rather than the Fox feed for the WS.
 
Good to see a former Blur Jay (Chris Carpenter) win a World Series with St.Louis.  (Too bad Roy Halladay hasn't had his chance yet).

The Rangers' pitching completely broke down, so to speak, with ball control trouble.  Those walks just about put the game away for good, giving the Cardinals all the impetus they needed to seal the win.

Call the Cardinals the wild card comeback team of 2011!

Well done!

Note:  MVP David Freese's 21 RBIs shatter a MLB record.
