Good! Now, they need to concentrate on keeping Cliff Lee, even though he’s enamored with the stupid Yankees. Then, they need to pick up some decent arms for the bullpen. Oh, and ditch that idiot manager (ha ha, yeah I know it won’t happen). Then you’ll have a World Series victory party in Texas.

The Rangers didn't get to the WS by having an idiot manager. He taught them to play a game much different from the game they've been playing for years. I don't recall ever seeing the Rangers play this good on defense. When they did well in the 90s it was because they out-hit everyone. And we know how far into the playoffs they went then. This years' strategy got them past the Rays and yanks.

"We did a lot of firsts for this organization. We were the second-best team in the big leagues. We should be proud of that. We’re going to use this for motivation and come in next year and try to do better." - Cliff Lee

And yes ... they certainly do need some depth in the bullpen. No doubt about that. Perhaps having Nolan here will help.
