2011 World Series: Texas Rangers v. St. Louis Cardinals

[TheMatrix31]

Gonna be tough for STL's iffy pitching to handle the Texas offense, but who knows what'll happen. I'm happy with this matchup. Should be fun.

Two incredibly hot teams. Should be a great series. If I have to go with someone, I'll take Texas in 6. Nelson Cruz series MVP.

Texas wins the World Series in 5. Mike Napoli will win the WS MVP, just to twist the knife a little more in Mike Scioscia. Texas has the better bullpen, and although they don't have a hitter like Pujols, they have an extremely deep lineup.

cards have had as their mantra for much of the second half of the season that to have a happy flight home they want to come home with a series win or a win the day of the flight.

Here's an awesome story about Lance Berkman from the offseason

Lance Berkman criticized the Texas Rangers on a Houston radio station Thursday as he discussed why he opted to sign with the St Louis Cardinals this offseason.
Berkman, who turns 35 just before spring training begins, said on the John & Lance show on 1560 AM in Houston that he felt the Rangers would have "an average team" in 2011 and had some pitchers that "pitched better than their talent level" in 2010. He also questioned the contract the club gave free agent third baseman Adrian Beltre.

I felt like if they didn't re-sign Cliff Lee that they were going to be an average team and I feel that's probably what's going to end up happening," Berkman said Thursday. "It's all about your pitching. I feel like last year was one of those special years where you kind of catch lightning in a bottle and they got hot and they had some guys that I felt like were pitching better than their talent level and consequently they had a great year."
