The Rangers are One Win Away from their First Ever World Series Bling



*Game 6 postponed until Thursday due to crappy weather*

Colby Lewis will have a shot at history during Game 6 of the World Series Wednesday Thursday night, when he takes the hill against St. Louis Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia and his neatly-trimmed facial hair. Take note, Derek Holland.

Just won win away from their first World Series title ever, the Texas Rangers have one definitive plan: to more or less not pitch to Albert Pujols. Meanwhile, the wild card-winning Cardinals are back in familiar win-or-go-home territory in a tasty rematch from Game 2.

Mother Nature Makes Big Unit Wait

Fucking sweet.Some crappy weather left Nationals Park a sloppy mess Wednesday, with the game being called 3 1/2 hours after it's scheduled start. The make-up will be part of a double-header starting at 4:35pm ET this afternoon.

So, San Francisco Giants veteran Randy Johnson will be pitching on seven days rest when he looks for career victory #300 against youngster Jordan Zimmerman and the 13-36 Washington Nationals in the first of the twin bill.

Also? Check out Curt Schilling's take on The Big Unit's quest for his 300th win. Yeah, he still won't shut up.

Update: Johnson successfully attained victory #300 after spending five innings keeping the Nats to two hits on one unearned run. He threw 50 of his 78 pitches for strikes and faced just four batters above the minimum. Nice work.
