"Almost poetically," in the words of TBS announcer Ernie Johnson, former Texas Ranger Alex Rodriguez came to bat for the New York Yankees with two outs in the 9th inning and his team trailing 6-1.
He struck out without a doubt, giving the North Texas Nine their first World Series appearance ever, starting Wednesday. Here's how some of it looked during the TBS presentation Friday night. Whether the Rangers face the Giants or the Phillies, Fox4 is delirious. Their network has the Series, and all other competing programming is pretty much beside the point.

A closing shout-out to my former employer. Great product placement during TBS' nationally televised post-game coverage.
