Snooner I was also at the dome opener, before the game Mickey was hitting batting practice and hit the top of the dome, some said this could not be done. Man this dates us.

Were you the guy that spilled beer on my dad?

I don't remember where they came from but the name Zephyrs came from an old wooden rolller coaster at Lake Ponchartrain amusement park. I rode it many times when I was a kid.

Good history in here. Came from the Zehpyr train in Colorado but they actually mention the Roller Coaster you were talking about as well. Pretty cool history there. Lots of good players came through that team.

Thanks for the reminder. When the Zephyrs moved to New Orleans they didn't change the team's name as it was an appropriate name because of the roller coaster. I had forgotten the part about Denver and the train name.

Several years ago, my wife and I drove to a game at the new Busch Stadium and then drove on to Denver for a couple of games at Coors Field. Then we caught Amtrak's California Zephyr and rode it through the Rockies. The next day we caught a bus back to downtown Denver to get our car. It was a nice train trip up through the mountains and then along the Colorado River. We plan on doing it again during the winter.

Hamilton still hurting. Non-exsistant tonight. He's gonna have to heal up fast and Young is gonna have to decide to play if the Rangers are gonna win this.

Not sure about a couple of decisions Wash made. Great game though.

Tech alum to sing national anthem tonight.

This is the kind of thing I like reading about Tech. Focus on what is true, honorable and just; pure lovely and admirable; excellent and worthy of praise.

Louisiana Tech continuously makes me proud.

I've always wanted to do that.

Another great game tonight. Rangers win 2-1. Games this close are so much fun to watch.

Like I said October baseball is special. Nothing Like it. Heart just slowing down now. I think if Hamilton were healthy this would be a different series. He can just take over games. Now though, he is just looking for singles. But I tell you what I'll take that Sac Fly and never look back. Fun night.

Many think this is the type game that makes baseball boring to watch. This is the type game that makes baseball fun to watch. Top of the 9th Rangers comeback, then knowing that one swing of the bat could win it for the Cards! Good stuff!

These two games were really great post season games -

Timely hitting, GREAT fielding and stout pitching

Yeh, I thought that sac fly would have been a big fly if he were healthy. That was a hanging breaking ball, and he just doesnt have the bat whip right now to crush one.

Great game, though. Hanging on every at bat because you knew a solo HR or a timely hit could win this one. Everybody came in talking about a slugfest and the first two games have been brilliant pitching duels.

Hello Win column! 3 wins to go.

How 'bout that Ranger middle infield last night!
