. . .the Rangers will give the Cards all they can handle and then some.They'll give each other all they can handle, unless somebody makes a very egregious mistake. You're talking about two teams with balance among the bats, very flexible and solid bullpens, who know what they're doing out there, and managed by men who actually can think on their feet and see the game about four or five batters and maybe two innings ahead. I say again---I don't expect this World Series to be a short Series by any means. Not with these two teams.
And you're right, it's no coincidence that those teams are managed by two of the best in the business, in La Russa and Washington.
