The Series may end tonight with the Texas Rangers taking the game. But it has been a fun Series to watch. It’s been awhile since I could say that. If the Cardinals rally tonight and it goes seven, this will REALLY be a fun Series.

There are certainly the goof-ups. Tony Larussa making HUGE mistakes in bullpen calls is simply unprecedented. Is he ready to hang it up, or what?

That said, baseball NEEDS some changes. This column makes some great suggestions. I still don’t favor instant replay in the game, but at the beginning of this season, I said basically the same thing about the number of games. The schedule could be trimmed back to 154 or 148 games and the playoffs shortened. I’d still like a 7 game World Series, but 7 games in the League Championship Series is getting crazy.

The Series winner this year will be deserving. Far more than the typical Yankees/Red Sox juggernaut, these two teams were far more prepared for the run through the season and simply the best teams left on the field. I am pulling for the Cards because of the phenomenal way they pulled themselves up and stormed into the post season. But the Rangers are a GREAT story and irritating Democrats by having President Bush in the picture for a couple of games in Texas is always an added bonus. 😉
