I honestly don't see CJ coming back - barring some miraculous complete/perfect game with 15 K's and 0 W's, the Rangers aren't going to spend the money he wants on someone who can't pitch in the playoffs. I'd give him maybe $50m for 3 years but his $100m aspirations are far fetched.
I logged onto my email and the sports top story was NAPOLI's big hit gives Rangers 3-2 lead! That is awesome. Even though CJ didnt pitch perfect like Holland, he did an ok job getting out of bases loaded more than once and only allowing 2 runs. Which I think is thanks to him. Cardinals really missed out on alot of chances. Thanks to Napoli also they got out of that jam at the end with that amazing double play. That was a really good game. I hope game 6 is just as awesome with the same result as game 5.
In CJ's defense, allowing less than 3 runs per game(provided he pitches 7 innings) is a quality start... I have yet to see Hamilton make a difference. Truly both organizations are awesome, and both managers are great. Texas really does deserve this though. its there all the rangers have to do is go out and get it!

Hamilton has a decent "excuse" though with his busted groin and sports hernia - I mean the guy is playing lights out in the outfield and has a few RBI's this WS. He's not his MVP-esq self, but he's better than his backups IMO.
CJ gave up 2 runs, both hugely influenced by Errors, but he also pitched himself into a ton of trouble and constantly had to bail himself out or rely on great fielding by his D to bail him out (Murphy's diving catch, Andrus throw across body to a a leg-splitting Moreland, etc)
Horrible decision by Wash leaving Lewis in to bat with bases loaded. Lewis hasn't pitched well enough, especially with Holland in the bullpen. I think that it's going to come back and bite us in the *** big time.
