Yep, no offense to our resident Stros and Phils fans, but would love to see them both out It’s good to be hated. Just ask Alabama. Starting to know how it feels.

I think I'll be pulling for the Rangers in the WS no matter who the opponent from the NL is.

The expression 'Scot-free' originates from the Scandanavian word, 'Skat,' which means “tax” or “payment.” The word mutated into 'scot' as the name of redistributive taxation meant to provide relief to the poor during the 10th century.

And here I thought that he was referring to MichiganFan's team....the Scots.

Phils leave the bases loaded, but do take the 2-1 lead.

Just like that, it’s 3-2 Arizona. Stolen bases have been big in this year’s playoffs.

Congrats to the Dbacks. Sorry Toph. Who would have thunk D Backs and Rangers.

The Rangers were right there at the top of all offensive categories with the Braves and Dodgers in the regular season. They were the only ones able to carry that over into the post-season.

I guess I forgot or never knew about the 2011 WS. Rangers were TWICE within one strike of winning it all in Game 6 against the Cardinals.
I am pulling for the Rangers.

They could have easily lost hope, but shut down a really potent lineup in a crazy tough environment over those last 2 games.

Corbin Carrol is going to be a special player for many years to come in MLB. Already is, but his future is bright white.

How bout a tip of the cap to Bruce Bochy taking 3 different teams to the WS. First Manager in MLB history to do that.

In today's world of coaching/managing, those are long tenures

Not sure there would be a valid argument that he isn't the best manager in the sport. Regular season record not great, but he has been lights out in the playoff.
