The 2011 World Series between the Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals gets underway tonight at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

The Rangers are a great team but I can’t see them getting past St. Louis. The Cardinals have been the best team in MLB since the end of August. So the Cardinals in six with Lance Berkman winning World Series MVP honors.

The lack of a designated hitter could hurt the Rangers in 4 of the 7 games played at the National League Park.

It's possible. However, the Rangers don't tend to rely on a single DH. You could say they don't have a "designated" DH. At various points during the course of the season Michael Young, Mike Napoli, Yorvit Torrealba, Josh Hamilton, David Murphy and Ian Kinsler have been the DH. I suspect we will see different DHs in Games 1 & 2.

I suppose it comes down to placing the best DH who will have the smallest impact in the field. More than likely it will be replacing the first baser with Michael Young.

If the Rangers can keep these games close to the last 3 or 4 innings they should win. I prefer great relievers and hitters to a great rotation.

Hitters Are Ruling This Year.

Baseball HALL OF FACT: "Great pitching ALWAYS wins against great hitting!"
(when my knuckle-ball worked..........we won.)

Hey Ken,
I'd rather be a knuckle ball than a knuckle head.
Toughest pitch to hit.

Isn't Aaron Goldstein the same guy who picked the Cubs to win the NL pennant at the beginning of the year? Loser

Good pitching will beat good hitting any time, and vice versa. ~Bob Veale, 1966

slewing ring is a kind of comprehensive load to bear large bearings, because of its appearance resembling plate, so it is also called "slewing bearing". http://www.1stbearing.com
