Now that the Rangers are done with the Yankees and preparing to mop up the World Series with the Giants, I think another celebratory smoke is in order today...maybe something like a 5 year old SLR Maduro or something.

Certainly I wish the Rangers well in the World Series, but I don't think it's going to be quite the cakewalk it was in the ALCS. SF has some incredible pitching - starters, relievers, closer (in spite of his Grecian formula beard...).

Should be a great, close Series.
I know I sounded overconfident and arrogant but seriously, this is the first World Series we've EVER been to in the Rangers 30+ years as a team so a win would be incredible. It's like everybody says, let Texas have this one, the Yankees will just buy another one next year....

The Yankees have what?....like 27 World Series wins under their belt?....let us little guys have one for once! lol
I just hope we don't pull the famed Dallas Cowboys Choke Maneuver® against San Francisco...lulz
I hardly think you can call the Rangers "little guys" playing in a ballpark worth God knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars, etc. Yes, their payroll is maybe a third of the Yankees ($56million plus 5 players whose salaries are not known), but they're paying Jorge Cantu $6million to platoon at first base - in the division series he played one game - so I don't think you can act like they're poor.

The Giants similarly have the money to be able to use Aaron Rowand as a pinchhitter and Edgar Renteria to platoon at shortstop, for a combined cost of $23.6million, or roughly 60% of the Pittsburgh Pirates total payroll.

Kudos to the Rangers for making it to the World Series, but there have been teams with much more dominant offensive forces (e.g., the 1988 A's and the 1960 Yankees) who have seen how scrappy teams with good pitching can be impossible to beat. The path ahead to the championship is no cake-walk.
