I Missed It, Corey Seager’s More Important 2RHR Tied It, Adonis Garcia’s (solo) Won It–(6-5) Texas, Now (1-2) In World Series Openers

I will not deny the regret, as I missed a tremendous game (had to be scoring, had to be excitement as this “90 vs 84 wins teams Series” has been criticized, however, this with eery reminders of #’s 4 and 5 ’01 W.S. and the 2011 #6 classic, alluded to but not detailed here in recent posts regarding Texas ‘offs history, is “off the charts” and ergo again, regrets.

It (the game 4th inning on “miss”) coincides with the fact a Zombies Concert, to which I had truly inexpensive tickets, was cancelled–the haircut yielded a quip re them “They’re not there, they’re not there. “

I of course, hope the anonymous band member who is ill and apparently recovering, continues to do so. Yet for me in a life of them, misses– the concert and game, sure it can be worse but….).

Texas tied it on Corey Seager’s (see the joke that was the 2020 World Series, with all 6 games played at the neutral, corporate named Rangers’ ballpark) 2RHR (Sewald lost at and to “Sea,” “sinning” by walking Jones up 2 to start the 9th) and won it on Ad Garcia’s opposite field, solo B11.

Start with it is the incredible third straight ‘Zona road World Series game (they are (0-4) in W.S. road games), in which they lost, despite taking 2 run leads into B9.

Thrice, opposing players Tino Martinez (his slam after a questionable ball call prolonged his at bat was the key play in current Texas manager Bruce Bochy’s lone World Series loss (he/his teams are (3-1) and give him credit as he won last night w/out his precious wood which makes any manager at least initially better), a 4 game Yankees’ sweep in ’98) in #4/’01 W.S.– Scott Brosius the next night in #5 and now Seager 22 years later hit tying 2RHR’s in eventual wins for their teams, the Yankees in ’01 and the Rangers last night.

More eery and half of 22 is ELEVEN and in 2011, in a classic, under rated #6 played 12 years to the date earlier on Thursday night October 27, the Rangers twice were 1 out if not 1 strike from their first crown.

They did not get it as both David Freese and Lance Berkman, the latter I have not seen or heard mentioned in regard to that epic tilt, which though two thirds or more Freese, is shoddy reporting, delivered beyond clutch tying hits.

Freese’s home run won it B 11, he had 21 post-season rbis, getting 2 more in #7 and more from the eery file, “Ad’s” solo gave him 22, breaking Freese’s mark, doing so with a B 11 HR, this time for Texas, 12 years to the date later.

Who knows what will happen next, however it ought to be pointed out that Arizona won that 2001 World Series. Alas “Bell,” down in a gambling hotel room, when Kim surrendered both those Yankees’ tying home runs, had ‘Zona.

A Fox hope for the W.S. to be close and the fact they are good, gives ‘Zona hope, however, I might have missed a dramatic “Setting the Series tone” opener a la Gibson’s, which I also missed, in ’88.

Alas perspective: Look up regarding Donnie Moore, Bill Buckner and Kim. Add I discussed #5/’86 ALCS with a man/”G” adjusting to having a Prosthetic leg and frankly not up for this World Series due to the matchup, not anything else. I wonder if he, unlike me, saw the classic game 1?!

Byung-Hyun Kim, pictured above yielded those two B9 game tying 2RHR’s on 2 straight nights, however, Arizona won the next 2 and their lone crown (now 3 to 1 ‘u/dogs in this bid for a second vs a Texas franchise, seeking its first) in 2001.

Again, there is far worse (look at the world!) so there will be other games (likely I will not watch) and maybe some day I will see “The Zombies.”

In the present, enjoy them perform “She’s Not There” as last night neither they or/nor? I “was there” either.
