Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!
+1
I agree. Rangers played consistent in both series. I think it's cool to Texas and San Francisco are playing in the world series! I especially think it's cool that the Rangers not only won their first playoff series ever, but in that same year, they're playing in the World Series.
What amazed me about watching the Rangers is, they never look rattled. They are a bunch of confident players, that know they should be here.
Shold be a good series. I'm for the Rangers to win it all!Regards, Tony

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!
Although there were other teams I was cheering for initially, in retrospect, I couldn't have asked for a better matchup. Either a franchise (Rangers) will experience their first MLB World Championship, or a city (San Francisco) will (the Giants last Series victory came in 1954, when they were still based in New York). Either way, a group of fans gets an unprecedented (for them) reward.

Not even close. They dealt with injuries all year. They played in one of the worst divisions in baseball. Worth was almost traded. They did get a boost from Oswalt and seemed to be the hottest team heading into the playoffs, but they definitely werent anywhere near as good as they were in 2008.

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!
So their record of 97-65 with a major league high .599 win percentage doesn't count? Not to mention that when they fielded their reserves because of injuries and continued to win and battle on the field doesn't somehow make them better than anyone else? The Phillies this year where the best in baseball. The record speaks for itself.

WooHoo, the AL Atlanta Braves made the WS! Bobby Cox says you are welcome for the contributions of:
Jeff Francouer
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Elvis Andrus
How is that Mark Texieria trade treating you today, Ranger Fans?
I cursed that trade when Elvis left and obviously I was right.

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!
Fair, but through the course of the season and many people like to go by the record because let's face it that determines the best team up until the postseason. Postseason determines which teams can best prepare themselves for each series and up until this point both San Francisco and Texas are the best at that.
