Cardinals at Rangers, Cardinals lead 2-1.
Edwin Jackson vs. Derek Holland
That Albert Pujols is pretty good. He will look strange in pinstripes next year. I wonder who will switch positions, Pujols or Teixeira?
The Rangers are in a world of hurt, and yet a win today will change all that. Of course, they are one ninth-inning rally from trailing 3-0 in the series.
We're tied as we head south to Tejas.

Kyle Lohse vs. Matt Harrison
Rangers at Cardinals
Colby Lewis vs. Jaime Garcia
I think this matchup favors Garcia - if they're not careful, the media-favored Rangers could be in big trouble here.
Chris Carpenter vs C.J. Wilson
Edwin Jackson vs. Shaun Marcum
When the home team has to win Game 6 to force Game 7, that can provide a lot of drama. Of course, I really don't need to mention that to Twins fans. A Game 7 would feature Carpenter vs. Gallardo, so I think I'll be rooting for the Brewers in this one.

Randy Wolf vs. Kyle Lohse
An hour and a half late on my own day?! Dumb.
Edit: and then I didn't post it immediately and it just sat here. Damn it.
Tonight, the AL East takes on the NL Central plus Matt Kemp. Chase is a home run park, so just how long will this thing take? How long will it take for me to remember that these get annoying after a while? Will one of the very few dudes I like actually pull it off?
Anyway, for those following along, let's endure Berman together. For those who aren't, I'll put up the home run totals here, 'cause why not?
