World Series. Rangers vs Cards

In spite of that beast named Albert Pujols, top-to-bottom, Texas likely has the superior baseball team.

Then again, remember the Rangers dispatched an underwhelming Tampa Bay club, then went on to eliminate the Detroit Tigers, who had seemingly been getting by with one great pitcher, one great hitter, and a lot of smoke and mirrors. While the phrase "plug and play" is normally associated with computer related accessories, Tigers' manager Jim Leyland, to his credit, did much the same thing with what he had all year, with great success --  but it was only a matter of time until their luck ran out and reality kicked in. 

Meanwhile, the Cards knocked off the consensus "best team" in the Phillies, then put the hammer down on the smack-talking resurgent Milwaukee Brewers, while giving up home field advantage to both.

Bottom line? When it comes high-pressure crunch time, and the lights go on for the biggest baseball stage of them all  -- do you really want to bet against Tony LaRussa?

Careful......
