The Cards are ascendant. They were 10 games or so behind the Phillies only a month ago, and beat my Braves in the last game of the season. They don't know that as a wildcard team they have no chance to win it all.

If nothing else, I have enjoyed a postseason without the insufferable Cranks.

God help the Rangers if they make the same mistake the Phillies and the Brewers made and underestimate the Cardinals. I don't think the Rangers are that dumb, and I'll stand by my thought that this Series won't be a short one, but underestimating these Cardinals is probably just what Tony La Russa is hoping Ron Washington (usually one of the smarter managers on the block) and company will do.

I'm happy that we will have an all Republican electoral vote state series. How long has it been since that happened? Well, maybe the eight years Reagan was in office since it was particularly tough to find any Democrat electoral voting states.

Texas deserves this win, but they are going to have to earn it. Is there a better hitter in October than Albert Pujols? (Alright, Freese is better so far this year, but it is one season and it ain't over yet!)
