Definitely up there. I really wanted to watch it but between being away and tracking the storm, i was not able to find it on the tv in the hotel. I should have looked harder!

Late thing I saw was in the 7th inning, when the Rangers were so highly confident with their 3 run lead. I was wondering last night why I didn't see any news articles about them winning. Then this morning, they showed the Cardinals winning the game to tie the series.

Tied games seem to be the norm this year, with do or die games being the game changer.

I stayed up and watched it to the end. Probably the most exciting game I ever saw. Called beautifully by Buck and McCarver as well. An all-time classic. And if it were the Yankees instead of Texas we'd never see a replay on the Yes network because only Yankee victories qualify as classics.

That game was unreal. 1 strike away from winning the World Series TWICE. I don't think they can come back from that now. Saint Louis will probably take Game 7.

It's going to be hard for Texas to recover from this, but who knows? This has been a crazy World Series, maybe we'll get one more dramatic twist. If I'm Ron Washington, I try to sell them on this perspective...if someone said to you in February that you could skip spring training, the regular season and the playoffs and just have one game for the world championship, we would take it. To hell with what happened last night...if we win this game, it will be a footnote. Leave it all out there tonight.

It has been done before. The Reds lost Game 6 of the 1975 World Series on Carlton Fisk's home run in the 12th inning, after they had led 6-3 in the bottom of the 8th. An unlikely player (Bernie Carbo) hit a 3-run homer to tie it. I think the Reds also fell behind in Game 7, but came back in the late innings to win it.

Game is reminiscent of the phenomenal game 6 between the Red Sox and Reds in 1975 and the Reds came back and won that in Game 7 at Fenway. That series was unbelievable.

Reminds me of the last game vs the Rays. How they came back from losing to winning.

Everytime Texas takes a lead the Cards tie it in their half of the inning. It's got to be very frustrating for a Rangers fan.

Cardinals are WS champs for 11th time. Texas just couldn't overcome last nights game and looked pretty lifeless all night. The Cards also did it without their ace Adam Wainwright.

In the end, they deserved it. The resilency they displayed was simply incredible. That said, the Rangers will take this one to their graves unless they bounce back to win in the next year or two.
