Koji gets (out of context alert) jacked again - he might come cheap as a FA.

Only if Texas eats his second year, his '12 option vested.

Orrr - TEX gives him up in trade...

Orrr - TEX gives him up in trade...

He still wont come cheap as a FA if Texas trades him back.

Edit-I think Koji will be fine next season, I think he just hit the wall with the length of the MLB season/postseason.

The Rangers are clearly the better team during this series. 11-4 lead now in the bottom of the 6th and threatening for more.

Congratulations Texas!

Nelson Cruz with the most homeruns in a playoff series (6). He also hit a ball 400 feet to the track in center last night. It looked like he pulled something earlier in the game, but then hit two bombs later.

If the Cardinals win, I'll be rooting for Texas in the World Series.
