I can make one accurate prediction tonight, Texas will see no World Series win

May have to rewrite my title.... Texas very well could win it all.... I hope not.

I think they are obviously a good team but they don't have experience in the playoffs which is where the bullpens are so much better, especially NY and Philly. Haven't seen much of San Fran this season to judge but I expect a few 1-0 games in that series.

I think I can safely say this, even IF the Yankees somehow lose(and after tonight,that is a very big if), there is no way on earth Texas is going to beat the Giants or Phillies unless they can keep all their starters in for all the games they pitch.
C.J. Wilson had this game in the bag, and the bullpen proceeded to demolish it in one inning.
This isn't September anymore, Washington can't go to 10 plus pitchers in this series and as tonight showed, that means he and Texas are in big trouble IMO.

It was one game, and is by no means indicative of what would happen in other games.

SF's lineup is practically AAA. I doubt they'd be favored over Texas, should it happen.

The Giant's lineup is better than you think and besides, that pitching staff could be lethal.

Somehow, Ron Washington got high enough to lose a playoff game when had 5-0 lead and never even bring in his best relievers.

What ever happened to the thread starting rules??

[Poeman]

If we weren't down 7-2 tonight...We could have messed up their bullpen. But coming back from 5 runs dont happen every day

very true

[Ninja0980]

Indeed it doesn't..... we can't play every game by playing catch up.
IMO,what I said earlier still stands. Texas bullpen will be their Achilles's heel.

meh. national league sure looks good playing other national league teams.

San Francisco is going to the World Series and would
proceed to eat Texas for breakfast, should they beat us.
