Comment by Tim Twiss on October 7, 2011 at 7:24am: Better yet...re-write an old one, as you have done....

"There's a baseball game in Texas

That I am going to see

It only has one loser

Oh Rangers you are Thee..."

Until you see the score

Your chance to win the pennant

Is walking out the door"

Comment by Al Smitley on October 7, 2011 at 7:59am: You may shout huzzahs for Jeter and Robinson Cano,

But the Motor City's Tigers to the Lone Star state will go!

Comment by Carl Anderton on October 7, 2011 at 8:54am: Thank you Detroit Tigers. My two favorite teams are the Royals, and...whoever is playing the Yankees.

Comment by Carl Anderton on October 16, 2011 at 8:46am: Alas, the Tigers are out. However, any season that has one vanquishing the Yankees is a stellar one.

Comment by Al Smitley on October 16, 2011 at 9:05am: I guess the Rangers are the better club. It is amazing that the Tigers were as successful as they have been. They don't have a bonafide 3rd baseman or 2nd baseman, no bonafide lead off or second batter to set the table for Cabrera and Company, and lack reliable middle/long relief. But as Carl said, vanquishing the Yankees was well-satisfying.....yet, I'm not certain how many Yankee banjoists we may be offending by expressing our views, here. If so, I'm sorry for that....but you have chances for championships every season while the rest of us await decades!

Comment by Paul Certo on October 16, 2011 at 2:59pm: It would have been nice to see the Tigers in the Series, but Texas is OK. I'm with Carl on 2nd favorite team, although I tend to place the Indians at the top.

If they want to wear blue uniforms, wear them. If they want to wear red, that's okay, too. But red helmets with blue uniforms? Bleck! Only a colorblind salesmen from Nike would think it's cool. Texas dumped red years ago, but revived it when the Angels commenced winning with it.

I'm pulling for Milwaukee, but things are not looking so good for the team formerly known as the Seattle Pilots. If the Cards make the series, I'm not likely to follow it. Thankfully there are other sports. And there's banjo, too.
