Game 4 ALCS

There is nothing sweeter in baseball than your baseball team playing in a quiet Yankee Stadium. Texas Rangers fans have been treated to this wonder for two nights in a row. Is it to much to ask for thirds?
Game 4 did not start out well. Tommy Hunter looked shaky from the start. When Cano hit that fan-aided home run I got a sinking feeling, not helped by Berkman's screamer that was just foul. But this team doesn't give up. With the bases loaded in the fourth and one out, in came Derek Holland. A hot grounder hit to the hole between short and third is flagged by Elvis Andrus. A run scores but he threw out the runner trying to advance to third. The inning ended and out came the Rangers bats. A three run homer by Bengie Molina gives Texas the lead and there was no looking back. Homers by Hamilton (2) and Cruz were icing on the cake.
Game 5 is at 3 today. Do you think work productivity in the Dallas-Fort Worth area might see a mild decrease around that time?
It is funny how expectations change. A week ago it was enough to get to the ALCS. Saturday one home win was enough. Monday it was winning one game at Yankee Stadium. Tuesday it was taking two out of three. Not to be greedy but now it would be awesome to finish it on Wednesday.
