Well, I never. I was at work on swing shift and didn't get to see game 6 tonight, but I heard about what happened. I knew the Rangers were one strike away from winning the World Series in two different innings before coughing it up twice. I knew they lost it on a lead-off walk-off homer in the 11th. On the way home I was listening to the radio and there was some serious criticism of Ron Washington for not putting his best gloves in the outfield for the ninth inning. He replaced Nelson Cruz later in the game anyway, so why not in the 9th?
Okay, I was able to piece together that Cruz had a hand (or maybe just the opposite) in the Rangers' crushing defeat, but I didn't know what that was. After I got home I was able to watch some highlights. Disbelief.
Nelson Cruz should have caught that ball on the warning track to win the World Series. But he didn't. He reminded me of Jose Canseco out there, the worst outfielder I've ever seen.
