Found October 30, 2011 on Detroit4lyfe: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dirk Nowitzki,  Josh Hamilton,  Neftali Feliz,  Tim Mccarver
TEAMS: Texas Rangers,  Dallas Mavericks,  St. Louis Cardinals

Some think that they resort to a life of crime, while others believe that they simply waste away, simply longing to be read by someone... anyone.This is one of those posts, and this is its story. Note: everything in italics is new, but the rest was written during the drama of Thursday's Game 6 and has not been altered since. At least the Tigers can say that they were beaten by the best team in baseball. The Texas Rangers followed Dirk Nowitzki's "one suit" advice (only figuratively, as far as we know) and took out the St. Louis Cardinals in a 10-inning Game 6 to win the 2011 World Series. In a World Series marked by comebacks, timely hitting and untimely bullpen moves, the Rangers blew a 2-run 9th inning lead only to take the lead in the 10th on Josh Hamilton...

Texas Rangers won't get fan rally

Via AP on Fox  |  October 29, 2011
There's no celebration this year for the Texas Rangers. Last year, a fan rally followed the Texas Rangers' first appearance in a World Series. This time, having lost the Fall Classic for the second straight year, there won't be one.

The Painful Act of Moving Forward

Via NBC Dallas- Fort Worth  |  October 31, 2011
One strike. That's how close the Rangers were to their first World Series title. And they got there twice. It was hard to think of anything but that one strike as Game Seven rolled to its conclusion on Friday night. Even when the Rangers jumped out to a 2-0 lead, it felt like they were battling more than just the Cardinals on the field. The hangover from Game Six never really...

Current Rangers = 90s Braves?

Via NBC Dallas- Fort Worth  |  October 31, 2011
The Texas Rangers could be on the brink of something special. Yes, they are still working on their long streak of never winning a World Series championship, but they have been to two straight and just lost a 7-game series to the St. Louis Cardinals. And the way this team is constructed, there could be more trips to the World Series in their near future. It's true, the World Series...
