Game 5: Slow death

• Seriously, if it goes to seven games, I will not be able to restrain myself from diving into my television set and stuffing something into Joe Buck's gullet. If I hadn't watched half an inning on mute, that moment would've come last night.
• To be fair, I can't entirely blame Buck for that unless it was his idea to interview Derek Holland IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING GAME. WTF, FOX? Could you not find any more appropriate moment interview the winning pitcher for Game 4 then WHILE MY TEAM IS AT BAT?
• Again, to be fair, there wouldn't have been enough time to interview anyone during most of the Rangers' at bats. But, still, you'd think once St Louis had a couple of guys in scoring position, someone should've had the sense to say, "Perhaps we should be showing something besides a semibearded adolescent doing shitty Harry Caray imitations."
• Which brings us the heartbreak of last night's game: the Cardinals offence. By all rights, I should've been treated to the kind of slugfest I missed out on Saturday. Inning after inning, the Cardinals created opportunities--how many times did they get walked onto base, intentionally or otherwise?--and yet could not get more than two runners home.
• When I feel my confidence waning, however, I remind myself that the Cards are in the same position they were for the last two months of the season. Clearly having their backs up against the wall brings out the best in them.
• I really wanted to hate Beltre after that beautiful leaping throw to get Punto out, but I just couldn't. And Napoli after his go-ahead double, but instead I found myself aching to join in the chant of "NAP-O-LEE! NAP-O-LEE!" (Seriously, it felt like a scene out of From Dusk till Dawn.) Why does evil have to be so damn good-looking?
• Speaking of Napoli, someone needs to make a macro of those slaps in the face he got before the game so I can steal it.
