My daughter wanted to stay up and watch the game with me (and her fussy baby brother) but zonked out before the end of the 5th. I must have looked like a mime doing silent shouting in the 9th and in extra innings.

Congrats to St. Louis, I was rooting for them in the end (mostly because now there's a slightly better chance Texas gets disassembled).

Congrats to the Cards... this will definitely go down as the series that Texas gave away... to have the series all but wrapped up in game six twice and then an early lead in game seven and still loose it has to hurt.

I hadn't watched a game of the playoffs until Game 6 since I'm a Mets fan (I know) and once football starts I'm conditioned to forget that there's still a baseball season.  I didn't watch all of game 6 but as I was heading to bed I thought I'd check the boxscore.  It was bottom of the 8th, Rangers were winning 7-5 and Pujols was on 2nd.  I hit refresh a few times and the Cardinals were threatening so I switched on the television and watched the Cards not only comeback in the 8th, but the 9th too.  What an awesome game and finish.  Both teams deserve props for a great series, it's one I'll never forget.

Did anyone else think that Cruz should have caught Freese's triple in the 9th in game 6? I wouldn't say he was dogging it, but he surely wasn't going full tilt (maybe afraid of ramming into the wall?).

I never saw Cruz play before so I didn't have a point of reference but it didn't look like he gave it his best effort.

As for 86 Mets yeah, but was a bit depressing that Bill Buckner was our MVP for the series. '86 Mets should have been the start of a dynasty but they spun out of control similar to what it sounds like happened to the 2011 Red Sox.

There sure was a big difference in how Cruz (mis)played Freese's ball, and how Craig immediately sprinted back to the fence to rob a homer in game 7.

Some guys are in the lineup for their bat (Cruz).  Others for their defense.  The good/great ones can do both.

C'mon Theo! Revive them Cubbies!

I think the Cubs will find that Theo, as great as he did for the Red Sox, it ultimately replaceable by guys who think like him. That's why I'm no so mad about his departure. The Red Sox need to find a way to get rid of Larry Lucchino (who I blame for the Lackey and Crawford signings, and whose contract is up).

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
