Games 3 & 4: Slugfest and shutout

[muckefuck]

• Figures that the one game I had to miss because of a previous commitment would be the Cardinals' highest scoring by far. And judging by the box score, it was good a contest for at least half the innings with the Rangers fighting back up until the bottom of the 6 when they had no answer to Albert's three-run homer.
• Tonight's game was a good contest, too, up until the 6th. But I had intimations of doom ever since the Rangers broke the Redbirds' streak and got on the board first.
• Joe Buck needs to stop talking.
• I was very happy to see the rundown on Kinsley. These boys have to learn to respect the rocket.
• What else to say? I'm tempted to change channels and watch cartoons, but the the fat lady hasn't sung just yet.
