Time to get World Serious again.
A Pre-World Series Inquiry
1. What’s stronger? Your National League Cardinal roots – or your allegiance to the State of Texas vis-a-vis the Rangers?
2. Who would you be most happy to see picking up a World Series ring? Nolan Ryan? Or Lance Berkman?
3. Can you be a real Houston Astros fan and still pull for a team that makes its home in the Greater Dallas area?
4. Since the Astros are currently as far away from the World Series as Pluto is from the Sun, do you even care who wins this one?
5.Who wins this year and how many games does it go? Get your guesses in before Game One starts on Wednesday?
6. What are the odds that each team will post a Series ERA exceeding 6.00?
7. Who will hit the most individual player Series home runs?
8. Who will pick up the most individual player Series hits?
9. Who will collect the most individual player Series RBI?
10. Who will win the Series MVP Award?
I’m sticking with the big question (#5). I think this Series is going to be a real hit banger on the days that Carpenter doesn’t pitch. Because St. Louis has the home field advantage and the chance to possibly use Carpenter three times, I’m picking the Cardinals in seven games.
What do you guys think about the Series outcome – or any of the other questions raised here?

Advantage Cardinals, they have a manager named Tony.
(The Rangers can hit but they don’t have the manager or team to play baseball.)

I don’t care about the other questions! Cardinals in 6; always root for the National Leaguers!!!!
Go Cardinals! Lance deserves a World Series ring!

Gotta go with the Cardinals! After all, the Buffs were a St. Louis farm team — and a major talent pipeline — for many years.

Cardinals to win….there were NO Texas Rangers baseball cards
when I was first a buyer! And, Dallas had the Eagles while the
Cats roamed around Fort Worth. Plus, the Buffs usually pounded
my Missions by umpteen runs. Meanwhile, Wally Moon was
a Cardinal at that time. Too many good memories not to root
for St. Louis.

I’m a National League guy but the Rangers look too strong. I’m not sure that the Cardinal bullpen will hold up.

Cardinals have been on a roll, but I’m going with the Rangers and a big series from Hamilton as MVP.

Go Cards and Lance…to hell with the American League and Bud Selig
