There Is No Joy In Mudville


The St. Louis Cardinals are the 2011 World Series Champions. Congrats to them, the better team won. It was painful to watch my little red shoed Rangers come oh so close (1 strike) to their first Championship and then watch it all slip away. That's what we do as Ranger fans, we are keenly aware of what losing feels like and how to deal with it. But the fall from the top of the ladder hurts a little more than from the bottom.

But seriously, 1 lousy strike?!?!  The baseball Gods are cruel.

The Rangers didn't lose the series tonight, they lost it in Game 6 when they couldn't put that final nail in the coffin even when given multiple chances. It just wasn't in the cards. But man, what a ride they gave us thru the post season.

Beaten, battered and worn down they put it all on the line and came up 1 strike short. Game 7 was merely a formality.
