I've always liked the Rangers, so I'm glad that they are moving on I just hope they can beat the Yankees. In fact, I guess I'm hoping they win the whole thing now. The Giants are just so boring and always have been--at least post Willie Mays. And I've already expressed my feelings about the Yankees and Phillies.
And, by the way, Cliff Lee is cool and all and watching a lefty throw a big curve on TV is always fun, but there is no freaking way he doesn't have some foreign substance on his hat. It's clear as day that it's on the bill and back of his hat.
He's not the only one doing this and it's been going on pretty blatantly for a few years now in baseball and only a guy or two has ever been "caught." So, what gives? I think unless the umps see something absolutely obvious like a guy spitting directly on the ball or something, it is generally up to the other team to notify the umps that they want something checked out. So, why don't they? Because their pitchers are probably using illegal stuff of their own, so calling the other team out would only put their own guys in jeopardy.
Major League Baseball cheaters. Won't you ever learn?
