Title: Rangers or Cardinals
Post by: Garydh on October 26, 2011, 08:32:41 am
Well so far it is an interesting series. I would like to see the Texas Rangers take it, as I understand they have never won a World Series.

But I like the Cardinals too. So I had to find a reason to choose one. Who do you think will win?

I'd like to see Texas win, as well.  I think it's imperative, though, for them to finish it in game six.  I never like the away team in a game seven.

MLB really needs to change the World Series format, though.  It's a bit ridiculous that the All Star Game determines home field.  One game determining this, which has a majority of players in it who don't even sniff the World Series, is just silly.  Home field should be determined by either best overall record of the two teams (like done in basketball and hockey), or they could even use which league had the most overall wins during interleague play for the season.  Both would be better than what is used now.  A wild card team should never have home field over a division winner, especially when the wild card team has fewer wins on the season.

I am from Texas and am definitely rooting for the Rangers. And I agree with you Oryon, the format definitely needs to change. I don't like that it depends on the all-star game either.

Wow!!  What a awesome series so far!! :o  Just finished watching game 6 and can't wait for the finale!  I will really be happy with either team winning. 8)

Game six goes down as a classic - a truly unbelievable game.  As much as I have wanted to see Texas win, I think they're now screwed.  It's going to be tough to recover after tonight's disaster (twice needing only one strike to win!).  Their bullpen I think is also shot.  The only thing going for them is they haven't lost back to back games in like two months.

Great game 6.  I would have liked to see Texas win, but like the Cards as well.  I lost a lot of interest when my team didn't make the playoffs.

I tend to agree with you. Well it is all over now. The Texans Blew it. Too Bad.  It was still fun to watch even though my team lost. But I liked the Cardinals too. So I guess they did 11-11, to bad it was not held on the 11th day.
