World Series Game 6: Albert Pujols' last game before he has to face Aroldis Chapman (Open thread)

TLR's defensive alignments are also controversial.

Assuming he doesn't sign with an AL team that doesn't match up with the Reds in inter-league play. Should Lewis be thinking IBB all the way tonight?

Honestly:  this has been an exciting series. A little suspense, but now it's time for a chilly game six (Low of 36 degrees in St. Louis).

TEX @ STL

8:05pm, Busch Stadium

I am conflicted.

I can not root for the cards to win tonight.
But I would truly like them to lose in the 13th inning of game 7 on a throwing error.

It wasn't in the boxed set.

Also, there wasn’t a single episode where the dialogue during the music video segments was ever related to the dialogue from the episodes. It was just miscellaneous, hilarious portions of footage they inserted into each episode that never had footage pertinent to that episode’s plot.

So your implying that despite Cingrani’s 0.00 ERA in the bigs that year through 200 innings, is gunna give up an inside the parker to Berkman because Alonso misplayed it? Sounds reasonable.
