Anyone been able to pre-buy WS tickets with the insider code? I get into selecting the seats and it bugs out. I don't know if that means it's already all sold out on the pre-buy, it's only the poor seats anyways.

It's sold out.  My brother and I were both on there trying to buy tix on phone and computer.  All 4 games were 100% sold out within 5 minutes.

My kid was born and I looked up to see Adolis rounding the bases on the TV in the room.  That's a good night

Haven’t been this excited to pick up the Dallas Morning News in a long time. Add it to the collection. The last titles my teams have won.

Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

Montgomery is absolutely available for 35-45 pitches tonight.   He'd be throwing a 40 pitch bullpen today anyway.  

I mean, the big unit pitched a game 6 then came on in relief for game 7, right?  it's theoretically possible for Nate to get the final out tonight.

The one thing I don't get about the Maldonado issue is - can't he call pitches from the dugout?

Wow, Abreu really learned his lesson. Those 2 games to start next season is going to be big punishment. Lol such a joke.

I suspect it's because MLB thinks it unlikely that Abreu intentionally threw at Garcia.  But rescinding the suspension would undermine the on-field officials.  So this is the best alternative.

The should suspend Dusty Baker for not leaving the dugout in a timely fashion after he was ejected.  He purposefully stayed in the dugout and forced the umpires to spend time talking to him in an (ultimately successful) effort to ice LeClerc.

But realistically, suspending Baker for Game 7 would probably work to the Astros' benefit.  So it all probably works out.

And not to mention, this allowed time for Pressly to get warmed up and shut down our threat. In hindsight if Abreu was allowed to stay in, he was rattled and we break the game open. It did force the Astros to use Pressly for an extra inning but didn't matter much since he wasn't needed last night. I am assuming he will be called on for a few innings tonight. 

Pretty cool

That was the greatest pro baseball game I've seen in person, of course we don't get many opportunities being in Austin.

Just returned and still recovering. We almost stayed to watch Game 7 but I wanted to leave on that high note, plus work called.

This team, win or lose tonight, is resilient as fuck. Streaky for sure. And inconsistent in so many areas, but damn easy and fun to root for.

I'm confident. Javier is a bit of a nightmare. But their lineup is weak in many spots and I think for some reason they really are mentally fucked at home.

Mainly the Rangers looked focus as hell, but also loose, last night and will be again.

Random "Field of Dreams" chills type side note: We sat next to two other Rangers' fans last night and as Beasley passed us a few baseballs from the dugout, we were all tossing them to Astros kids around us. One of them was totally shocked and just beaming ear to ear afterwards for a full minute. Almost made me as happy as the game...almost.

So fuck the Astros now and forever, but yeah baseball is pretty damn great.

To think this is just the beginning of a legit run for the Rangers is extremely satisfying and exciting. Put it on the line tonight and we’ll see what happens. Fuck Houston.
