<p>I don't see this series going to a full 7 games. I think the Giants will take it in no more than 5 games. SF 4 games to Texas 1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gotta support my left coast friends. Besides, having ran by the AT&T ball park in this year's San Francisco marathon I can connect with it moreso than Texas whose stadium I have never ran by.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And finally but not least, since the Atlanta Braves are in the NL, I am duty bound to support the NL Champions.</p>

<p>Oh, geez, after the torture the Giants have put me through this season, I'm sure not going to enhance that feeling with a prediction</p>

<p>I just hope they're considered the underdogs - they seem to perform a lot better that way</p>

<p>NONONO!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's all about who's red hot at the right time in the postseason, and after steamrolling the American League East, I think that gives the nod to Texas. Cliff Lee's been lights out and Hamilton has been tearing the cover off the ball along with a helpful supporting cast. They do not have home field advantage, but they've showed the ability to win in The Toilet and the shithole that is the Trop - venues which cater much more to the home team- so I think it's something they will be able to overcome, barring any sudden collapses.</p>

<p>Yankees....like always.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let's see when was the last time the San Francisco Giants won?....hmmm....never</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Giants won in 1954...beat a much much superior Cleveland Indian team. (Think Willie Mays catch)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When did the Texas Rangers last win?....hmmm...never</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course they used to be the Washington Senators who won in 1924 BUT those Washington Senators moved to Minnesota to become the Twins</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Washington Senators who became the Texas Rangers have never won the World Series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Therefore....Texas in Five....the American League almost always wins because they have a lot better players.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>...or not.</p>
