For the Win!

I never thought I would write about this topic, but I am making an exception tonight. Baseball is one of my least favorite sports. To me, watching a professional baseball game is just a tad more interesting than watching paint dry. But the events of tonight have forced me to post a baseball blog. I justify it by reminding myself that this is a historic event, and I should document it.

I haven’t watched a single game. I can’t really say that it matters to me, so I don’t want to be hypocritical and act like it does. However, I am happy for the team and the fans who have waited 50 years to see them win the AL championship. I’m also happy that Dallas actually has a winning team again. The Cowboys are a huge disappointment this year, but I digress.

Yes, the Rangers are going to the Word Series for the first time in franchise history! The team is one of only three that have never played in the World Series and the oldest franchise that has never appeared. It’s about time, and fans are ecstatic.

The Rangers will face either the San Francisco Giants or Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series. Those two teams are still battling it out. The Giants are up 3-2 in the series, so it’s still up for grabs.

Regardless of which team the Rangers will face in the World Series one thing is certain, fans in Texas will be celebrating tonight. Congratulations, Rangers! You deserve it.

Now if only the Cowboys could follow suit…nah, what I am thinking?
