At least for one day, Derek Holland is really good.
This is how I like a WS to go. One team wins, then the other, then back to the first team, then the 2nd, ...
Lets hope for a 7 game series with the final game being a one run victory for the Rangers (can't stand LaRussa).

If it does go 7, I wonder if Wash would have the cajones to start Holland on short rest over Harrison, who looked awful Saturday, even with the ugly gift-to-STL call from the first base umpire ...
Holland was an excellent 25th round pick for the Rangers in 2006.
My favourite headline of the day. Groin injuries are always a sensitive topic, and when it's Josh Hamilton who is suffering, the possibilities are frightening. So, as a headline-writer, you cannot leave room for ambiguity...
Holland had a very solid year, pitched especially well in the second half, and just turned 25. The future looks bright for him. It's interesting - if I recall correctly, Holland was one of the players Ricciardi tried to acquire for Doc. Holland, Andrus and maybe a prospect would have been a pretty nice return. Unfortunately, Ricciardi was apparently demanding a Smoak throughout the process.
According to Jamey Newberg today, Holland was never part of the Halladay discussions.. And in retrospect, the Smoak-plus deal for Lee was a steal for Tejas.
The only Pitcher that will not pitch in game 7 (now a best of 3), will be the Game 6 Starter. I wonder which Starter A.A. will acquire?
Really, really good that is! What a series! I really wish I would have been on here during the games but better late than never I guess. I watched the games at a local restaurant for the first time this year. It was fun having the crowd atmosphere around for the series but I still think I like staying home and watching with a few friends better. This is why I'm looking to upgrade my home entertainment system (tv, speakers, etc.) before opening day next year. Does anybody have any recommendations on what to get. Otherwise I'll just rely on the info the sales person has for me. Also, where do you all go to buy your electronics? Do you go to retail stores such as hhgregg or do you do online shopping?
