Now that he is gone and the blocks in the second set. Lubbock. Rangers are back in the Fall Clas- sic, I feel like this team is more spe- cial than the 2010 team. I loved the 2010 team. I still do, actually. They will always hold a special place in my sports-loving heart. But this team—wow. The 2011 team has thrived due to the sign- ings of Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli, neither of which would have been possible had the Rang- ers kept Cliff Lee. The bullpen has been fantastic this season. Adams, Gonzalez, Feldman and Ogando have pitched brilliantly as of late. The Rangers would not have had enough money to keep Lee and then get all that bullpen help, not to mention the powerful bats of Beltre and Napoli. The Red Sox were the favorites to win the AL at the beginning of this year, but they did not even make the playoffs. The Rangers were considered just average, and yet the AL pennant waves in Ar- lington for the second consecutive year. It could be my extreme bias, and honestly much of it probably is, but something tells me this team is poised for another ginger ale cel- ebration that blows all others out of the water in the coming days. But forget my bias and my ex- treme desire to see that happen; these Rangers are better than the 2010 Rangers. Plain and simple. Even without Cliff Lee. Hopefully, they go out there and prove that to the rest of the world. Even if they don’t do that, and the Cardinals win the World Series, this team will be forever re- membered as the one that got the job done in the most unlikely of ways. Prediction: Rangers in 6. Prayer: Rangers in 5. How sweet would it be to win it all in Arling- ton? This is going to be fun. I hope you enjoy these 2011 Rangers just as much as I have.
