The Rangers were younger and hungrier. You know, I'll go with hungrier, but I usually disagree about the age factor, I don't think it matters as much as they say. If anything, I think the guys in their 30's have more experience and more to contribute than those in their 20's. And really, until 35 or so, people can still maintain the same shape if they work on it like they should. Take a look at the Boston Celtics, for example from the NBA. Last year they almost won the champioship, but before the playoff started people said they wont even make it past the first round because they're too old. No one will make the same comment again now. They are clear favorites despite the age of certain players. The Yankees didn't look too good tho, except Sabathia at times, and the Rangers were great. Tho if the Cubs arent playing, then I'm usually rooting for the NL teams, I guess it's my silly desire to see the old baseball on top.

Wait a second.... the Texas Rangers won a pennant. I hear Twilight Zone music. Congratulations, gina. That's very good, SC. It's a good thing that you're congratulating me. Jeez, what a nailbiter. I wish all of us could watch this game with Blib and Kly!! Though I'm sure they wouldn't be crazy about the added tension. ![lol lol](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/lol.gif)

In retrospect, I think this Series will be exciting -- these are two teams who actually play, and play well. I think I'll be rooting for the Giants...

congratulations Blib, sorry klyd ![ohwell ohwell](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/smirk.gif) I always thought the Phillies would come back and win the series but I just don't care as long as the Yankees lose and I watch good games so I'm loving this postseason. I admit I was rooting for extra innings though ![tongue tongue](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/tongue.gif) that double play in the bottom of the eight put me to sleep but what are your thoughts on Bochy bringing up Lincecum in that inning? it surely backfired on him but I agreed at first. you could spend Lincecum whole career trying to get him in shape to maybe one day play a World Series, and that was it, they were 6 outs from their dream so bring on the franchise player.

I pick the Giants to win it 4-2.
Just had this crazy pizza bet with some friends: if the Giants lose, I (and the others who picked them) will be paying for the pizza. If they win 4-0, 4-1, or 4-3, I'll be paying for the toppings only. If they win it 4-2, I got myself 4 slices with toppings for free.

We're crazy that way ![grin grin](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/laugh.gif) They better win it 4-2 tho, I'm already deciding on my toppings...(onion and green olives for sure, gotta think about the rest)

Sorry Blib, the Giants are not far enough removed from Barry Bonds for me to root for them. You don't have to root for them but that's a funny reason. This team is opposite in every way possible from the Bonds era.
