Yep.  With the exception of _________ admiring the double off of the top of the wall instead of running it out, the Rangers have had some great baserunning tonight.
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

As an aside... Footer had an entertaining '04 playoffs story on Twitter:

The camera shot of Nolan reminds me of a funny Hunsicker quote after the Astros won Game 5 in ATL in '04. Gerry, euphoric and on record says "When we were up by 7 late in the game I felt pretty good about things. Then I saw Gallo warming up in the 'pen and I said 'oh boy. This isn't over yet.'"

Cruz.  I hate that shit.

Guy's had a great series, at least.

That clip of Ron Washington watching the final out was great.

Sorta the opposite of the Bobby Knight quote about Dale Brown in '87 during NCAA tourney when LSU lead IU with about 5 minutes left on the clock, Knight was asked if he was at all worried at that time, trailing a hot LSU team, to which Knight said ..."I was worried about losing until I looked down the floor and saw Dale Brown."
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Ian Kinsler's little hoppity-hop, skip-to-my-lou celebration/admiration of the late inning homerun is going to haunt the kid for a while.  That was not cool.
