1 Down…

The Texas Rangers are in the World Series, and they have won a World Series game now.

San Francisco Giants 2, Texas Rangers 4.

The Rangers in all honesty got their butts handed to them in games one and two of the World Series back in San Francisco. They got thoroughly beaten up and down the field in, no denying that. Even after that shellacking, I still had confidence in this team. Yes, they were down 0-2 in the series, but they were coming back to Arlington to play 3, and I fully expect them make this into a series now that they have some momentum and are playing in the friendly confines of Rangers Ballpark.

When Mitch Moreland had that INCREDIBLE at bat that ended in a 3-run blast to right field, I knew we were winning this game. Although through the 8th and 9th innings I admit (ask my mom and Amy) I had a hard time breathing, but when Neftali Feliz blew that 98 mph fastball passed Juan Uribe to end the game, I took a huge breath. The game was over. We won. I was happy.

Colby freakin Lewis. What a job. Good for you. 7 2/3 innings, 2 earned runs, 5 hits. Not shabby.

Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman posted on twitter during the game, “Josh Hamilton is as close as we are going to see to Mickey Mantle.”

Like I said, the Giants kicked the Rangers around in San Fran. Now its the Rangers turn to return the favor. The next 2 games, I expect to be fun.

Giants are a good team, and deserve to be here. So do the Rangers.

So, here we are… Enjoying the first World Series win in Rangers history, but knowing their is still work to be done.

This is just one. It takes four to win a championship.

It’s time.
