In Spite Of My Negativity Over The World Series...

If the Rangers start playing like the Rangers we saw in the ALCS right now in Game 3, and keep going, we could be seeing a rather miraculous comeback, and some World Series-level baseball. Texas currently has all three of their home games remaining, and they have the advantage of playing American League ball while there. IMO, they need to sweep their home games to have a shot, and here's what has to happen:

 

1) Colby Lewis must hold onto his ALCS form.

2) The bullpen must get a hold of themselves.

3) Cliff Lee must recover and become THE UNBEATABLE ONE again.

4) The Rangers need to solve Matt Cain in Game 6.

 

That last one is the hardest, obviously, but even so, if they win these next three, they will have Colby Lewis back for game 7, which means that #1 may be most important.

 

On the other hand, that doesn't assure a Rangers' WS title. If Jonathan Sanchez doesn't do what he did in the final game of the NLCS, and matches Colby Lewis, the Giants will have the advantage, because the Rangers don't have anyone who can match up to Matt Cain anymore, with C.J. Wilson out.

 

The Giants took the advantage last night, but they still have to watch out for the Rangers as the World Series visits Arlington for the first time.

The Guy Who Came Back

I just found this blog, good layout I've always looked up to you.

 

Well ayways back on topic. The giants are definitely going to win the last game 9-0 Giants I mean cone on the Rangers stink.

 

Also if you'd like you can add that my team is the Phillies on that content block. ;)

I honestly don't know who will win. I have to confess -- I haven't been too interested in watching baseball (gasp!) recently. :shrugs: I just stopped following it after the Phillies lost during the postseason. I might try to catch the latter part of the World Series, though.

 

Have you ever considered becoming a sports columnist? I mean, I know you probably won't get a job for a big company like ESPN (especially now, at only sixteen years old), but have you ever thought of it as a sort of 'dream job'? Your style of sportswriting is engaging, and I don't think you should squander such a talent. ;)

 

Speaking of which, if I ever become a Premier Member, I might try my hand at sportswriting -- except from the viewpoint of a Phillies fan.

As a matter of fact, I have. I think I'd enjoy writing for a newspaper or a website, and besides, if you're a baseball writer, you get to vote for putting people into the Hall of Fame and for the MLB awards.

 

But something else I'd really like to do is be a radio announcer for a ball club. That would be the bomb. :D
