Yup. You just can't recover from a Game 6 like that can you.

The Rangers did take an early lead in the 1st... but that was wiped away instantly in the bottom of the 1st...and then the dominoes just fell.

Cardinals win today 6-2... giving them the World Series crown.

Congrats to them for sure.

It's here. Probably the best outcome a fan of a team not in the world series could hope for... A game 7. Everything on the line with this ONE game.

Texas Rangers have Matt Harrison @ St. Louis Cardinals have Chris Carpenter

5:05PM on FOX. Series is tied 3-3. FINAL GAME.

As for the pregame picks... everything could rest on this one as well. Let's amp it up and go out with a bang.

Remember... AT MOST 7...

Game 7 tomorrow. See you then! Great game nonetheless! Cardinals win in 11 innings. 10 - 9. Lets take a look back at this epic game. 5 errors. Lead changes featured in practically every inning. Runs scored in all innings but the 3rd (And yes, we went 11 innings). 28 total hits. 19 total runs.

Cardinals put on the brink TWICE. And that brink being their FINAL STRIKE? Cardinals also out of position players to bat? Look at those substitutions on the STL side. Scoring the game must've been a pain. Speechless I say. Only thing I can say? So glad I'm not a fan of either team. Celebrate for baseball. Because this was a win for everyone!

... Well, mostly everyone. Let's do this again tomorrow. We crown a winner in the deciding Game 7.

Well... it could all end today. If the Rangers take today's game... they will be crowned as champions. But the Cardinals are back home... will they stretch it out to a Game 7? I sure hope so. Texas Rangers [Colby Lewis] @ St. Louis Cardinals [Jaime Garcia] 5:05PM on FOX • Texas Leads 3-2... Pregame picks are ready AFTER THE JUMP. Hopefully today's not the last day...

Game 5 of the World Series is here. Someone will leave Texas being just one game away from reaching the promised land. Who will that be?

- Cardinals (Chris Carpenter) @ Rangers (C.J. Wilson) - 5:05PM on FOX. Series tied 2-2.

A rematch from game 1... Carpenter won that battle... what will happen this time?

The Cardinals were silenced for all but two hits.

Can't say anything less than "Holland was stellar".
He was pulled with just 2 outs left for the CGSO... but I suppose it worked out well. (If you don't mind the slight heart-attackish end to the game)

Josh Hamilton's double in the first was all the Rangers needed really, but Napoli shined in the 6th with a 3-Run Home Run to emphasize the victory.

The final score was 4-0... and the series is all tied up at 2. We'll be seeing a game 6 in St. Louis for sure now. The question is... who will be leading going into Missouri??

Game 4 is today... giving the Cardinals an opportunity to push the Rangers to the brink...

Cardinals ( Edwin Jackson ) @ Rangers ( Derek Holland ) - 5.05PM on FOX. Cardinals lead 2-1.

Pregame picks... are your standard RHP for today.

In a very big different style than the first two games of the series...

The Cardinals just UNLOADED on the Rangers today 16-7. They  now have a 2-1 lead!

Discuss the game here!

Yes... a little late, but there's still plenty of time before the World Series Game 3 begins!
Who is playing today you ask? Well, here is the perfect place to find out.

St. Louis Cardinals (Kyle Lohse) @ Texas Rangers (Matt Harrison) - 5:05PM on FOX. Series is tied 1-1.

Today's pregame picks is another experiment!
Not too confident about it... but lets give it a shot...

It was a pretty tense night... but the Rangers pull thru.

The Rangers manage to score 2 in the 9th after hitting Deja Vu with Craig getting a run off of Ogando...2-1 was the final score.

The series is tied at 1 a piece... off to Texas!

Game 2 of the WORLD SERIES is today!

1. Will the Cardinals take both games at home before flying off to Texas?
2. Will the Rangers even up the series instead?
3. What we do know is... there will be pregame picks.

But first... the probables:
- Ranger's Colby Lewis @ Cardinals's Jaime Garcia. 5:05PM at Busch Stadium... only on FOX

Pregame Picks! Let's take a look:
- Total HRs 2.5 ... Over ? Under? Exactly 2.5?
- More Hits: Kinsler + Young ? Pujols + Holliday ? Tie? Or Will they all be hitless?
- Margin of Victory? Odd? Even? Or exactly 3?
- Who will win today?

The Final stage is set.

The Cardinals take out the Brewers 12-6 and will now face the Rangers in the World Series.

With the Rangers already securing their spot in the World Series...the Cardinals look to do the same.

But the Brewers will do their best to force a Game 7!

[NLCS GAME 6] Cardinals (Edwin Jackson) @ Brewers (Shaun Marcum) ... 5.05PM on TBS ... STL leads 3-2

Pregame Picks today may involve some math.
Hope that doesn't scare you off!

(In case it's not obvious, 'x' is for multiply... '/' is for divide)

Well, that's one way to make a statement going into the World Series...

The Rangers manage to pull a 9 spot in the 3rd inning to emphatically stamp their tickets to the last stage of the MLB Playoffs... the final score was 15-5.

Texas is one win away from stamping their tickets to the World Series. Detroit is going to try their best to force a game 7... what will happen?

- Tigers (Max Scherzer) @ Rangers (Derek Holland) - 5:05PM on FOX ... TEX leads 3-2

Pregame picks for today are the following:
- Will TEX advance today?
- Who will have Errors?
- Who will have a HR?

One thing for sure, is we're guaranteed some more games in the next few days. Good good! Justin Verlander pitched a whopping 133 pitches and lead his team (and the pregame picks) to victory 7-5 over the Rangers. That series is now 3-2 with TEX leading. Meanwhile the Brewers were able to cash in 4 unanswered runs after falling behind by 2... and was able to tie up the series at 2 a piece against the Cards. Moar baseball!

What a set of games today!

The Diamondbacks managed to tie up the game in the 9th with a safety squeeze?!
But fall short to the Brewers who got a walk-off single in the 10th giving a 3-2 final.

In the other game... all the Cardinals needed was a double followed by a triple in the first two ABs... and CGSO by Carpenter to let them advance over the Phillies 1-0.

Great Game 5s indeed.
