    well, if it's the rangers, it'll have to be 7.

    who came up with stupid "claw & antlers" ???

    not really too stupid, has sold a million caps & shirts.

    ranger fans @ home look out of place, all wearing red or blue & team wearing white, as they should.

    Re: World Series Prediction

    Well I had hoped that with the Rangers facing another Lefty last night in Bumgarner, that they would have fared better at the plate like they did in game 3, but Bumgarner pitched the game of his life. He got some help from really good defense by the rest of the team on a few, but for the most part he just completely shut down the lineup. He made Vlad look silly up there the whole night.

    The Rangers just aren't hitting as well as they did in the first 2 series. Hamilton, Vlad, Kinsler, and Nellie's averages are all way down in the .100's or low .200's. About the only one worth their salt right now at the plate is probably the least likely in Mitch Moreland.

    You have to have hope with Cliff taking the mound tonight, but if the Rangers don't grab a lead early, I worry about their ability to play from behind. The Giants are a really good team and playing really good baseball right now.

    I just don't like the Rangers chances of winning 3 straight at this point.

    Lee is very good, but Lincecum is also good.

    Re: World Series Prediction

    Giants pitching has been amazing all postseason. To shut the Phillies and rangers lineups down, you'd have to be.

    One of the best pitching performances by a staff of all time imo. Of course I'm only 30.

    Welp, Rangers just plain lost to the better team. Lincecum was amazing. Cliff was very good, but it doesn't really matter how good of an outing he has if he doesn't get any run support.

    Rangers had one helluva season. Who goes bankrupt and makes it to the World Series? Really?

    Re: World Series Prediction

    You know, up until last night, I chalked this up to the Rangers not being disciplined at the plate and not forcing the Giants pitchers to work.

    But you know what?

    That's what happens when you've got guys dealing. They force you to do things you don't want to do.

    Took me about 5 innings to realize that even if the Rangers had managed to extend this one more game to San Francisco, it would have only changed the venue for where the Giants would be doing their celebrating.

    Still wish Cliff would have walked Renteria though.

    Word is that is exactly what Molina wanted to do b/c Rowand hadn't done anything all night. I think Cliff's "I don't walk anybody" mentality got the better of his judgement there.

    Yeah.

    And from where Bengie was setup, it looked like Cliff was trying to get him out on a cutter that dove to the inside of the plate and down.

    And it didn't cut.

    That's the way baseball go.

    Re: World Series Prediction

    Cliff was a tremendous factor in the play-offs, but not so much in reg season or WS. (of course if he were there all of NEXT season, he would surely be
    a great asset)

    just wonder how far rangers are willing to go to keep him ???

    tuff to compete with yanks if they really want him.
