Shades of the 2001 World Series in which Arizona outplayed New York in six of the seven games.

Completely true. One inning away from being down 3-0.

Re: Yanks are struggling at the plate
We don't have that same "karma' we had last year for whatever reason. I can't put my finger on it. Last year you just felt we were going to get this done, this year, even though we swept Minny, we just aren't as good as we were last year. I sense we're 'tight' and not having as much fun as we did last year. We won the WS and now we're back to being 'expected' to win...its hard to play baseball when you're expected to win. When you're the Rangers, no one really gives you a shot, so you can play relaxed and if you lose, no one is going to say, "you guys choked"
Hopefully Ron Washington can have a 'moment' where he does something idiotic and puts us back in the series.

97.45% of the remaing true basball fans left in the 50 states and Canada would prefer to see Nolan Ryan's scrappy Rangers in the WS then the "former" General Motors back.
I really, really, really don't get this addiction to a team that outspends everyone 2 to 1?
But then again, I have almost always rooted the little guy in all areas of life.

97.45%? I think you're understating it by at least 2.5%

If their bats are gonna get well, it will be against Hunter. That being said, I'm taking a little Texas tonight.

Re: Yanks are struggling at the plate
Some of us were fans BEFORE the Yanks became "GM".
Its pretty easy to root for the Rangers, i'll be rooting against them in the WS (if they get there) only because i don't want Cliff Lee to have a full belly next season. I want him hungry when he comes to us.
