Why the Rangers will win the World Series Wed Oct 19 10:33:06 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers may have been overwhelmed by the moment when they lost last year's World Series in five games to the San Francisco Giants. That shouldn't be the case this year, as the Rangers not only enter their second straight Fall Classic with some experience, but on paper they are just better than the St. Louis Cardinals. Texas has a better lineup, aside from St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter, it has a better rotation and as good as the Cardinals' bullpen has been here in O

But, here they are back in the World Series for the third time in the last eight seasons, as they kick off the 107th Fall Classic this evening against the Texas Rangers at Busch Stadium. Much like their improbable run to the 2006 title, nobody gave the Cardinals a chance this postseason, considering they had been 10 1/2 games out of a playoff spot as late as August 25 and were already without their top pitch

Freese finished with three hits for St. Louis, which chased Brewers starter Shaun Marcum after one inning and forced Marcum's replacement, Chris Narveson, out of the game after 1 2/3 frames. The Cardinals sneaked into the playoffs as the wild card but are now headed to contend for the 11th World Series title in team history. They will face the AL-champion Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the Fall Classic on Wednesday.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - In two years the Texas Rangers went from never appearing in a World Series to winning back-to-back pennants, as a nine- run third inning Saturday launched them past the Detroit Tigers, 15-5, in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. Michael Young bookended the pivotal third -- the most productive inning in Texas' limited playoff history -- with a pair of two-run doubles, then added a solo homer in the seventh for good measure. Nelson Cruz fittingly c

nches this way or that, and who knows? Miguel Cabrera's RBI double deflected off third base to spark a rally in the sixth inning, and Delmon Young hit a three-run homer to cap the four-run burst that propelled the Tigers to a 7-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday. With Nelson Cruz showing no signs of slowing down, even against Detroit ace Justin Verlander, the Tigers needed all the runs they could get. Cruz hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, his fifth blast of the series, to cut the

(Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers hope to punch their ticket to the World Series for the second straight season when they try to put the Detroit Tigers away in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series at Comerica Park. However, if they are going to reach the Fall Classic once again they will have to do so against the pitcher who has been the best in baseball this season in right-hander Justin Verlander. Verlander put forth one of the best years ever by a Tigers starter, as he won th
