Texas will have to perform better at home to have any chance against the Yankees. Still feeling that? Momentum has swung all Texas' way. Rangers 20, Yanks 8 through three games. The way the Rangers are currently playing, they're on a trip to Philadelphia or San Francisco after leaving NY. He did...122 pitches and 13 (yes 13!) K's in the game. Go Rangers!

dg_dave, I could be wrong, but is it the rangers who had won 1 postseason match in about 80 years?

And I've been a fan since '96...when I moved to Dallas! Also, Tampa's team has been the Rays since 2008...when they won the AL pennant. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Rays)

Great seeing the Rangers get to the Series.  Hope the Giants can put the Phils away tomorrow now.

A Lee and Lincecum World Series would be a nice thing to see. But then again, a Lee vs Halladay is just as nice Go Rangers! but first Go Giants!

Well done (and VERY well played) to the Rangers in beating my beloved Yankees. The better team definitely won the ALCS. Enjoy the World Series ... There's nothing like the first time

Who would you consider to be the biggest underdog in this series? Well, both WS teams have surprised, but the Giants are more. The Rangers have been building up for years, and you could sense something was coming, all though not as fast as it has. Buster Posey, Cody Ross, and Freddy Sanchez have been surprises, as well as the rotation behind Tim Lincecum. I don`t think the Giants can beat the Rangers, but it will be intresting.
Another surprise could be the AL and NL East. In March, all the way to September, World Series predictions were Yankees vs Phillies, Rays vs Phillies, the Braves or the Red Sox were contenders. All of them went in the DS or the CS, or in the Red Sox case, missed the postseason entirly.
The San Diego Padres were surprises. No one imagined them missing the playoffs on the last day. Other than Adrian Gonzalez, the team is a bunch of nobodies. Playing on the West Coast doesn`t help.
By the way, Rangers in 7.

One thing I find pretty interesting is that Molina (catcher for the Rangers) played for the Giants up until a July 1st trade. An article I read said that even if the Giants win the series, they would present Molina with a championship ring for being a contributor earlier in the season. So either way, Molina would get a ring (assuming he didn't refuse it).
The Giants are the underdog according to Vegas, and I would agree. I say Rangers in 6. In any case it should be a fun series to watch, and I'm with fredsixties, screw the networks. I'm sure FOX is pretty upset the Red Sox, Phillies or Yanks aren't in the series...which makes me even happier. haha

Wow. San Fran up 11-4. I'm assuming Cliff Lee started, in which case this scoreline is a real surprise
