The World Series starts tonight and features the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. Game 1 is at AT&T Park on the shore of the San Francisco Bay. Cliff Lee will be on the hill tonight hurling against last year's Cy Young Award winner, Tim Lincecum. I think that not only pitching will affect the outcome of this series, but batting as well. Both teams have great batters like Josh Hamilton and Buster Posey. The catcher for the Rangers, Bengie Molina, caught for the Giants before the rise of Posey. I think he is the best scout for the Rangers during this series. He will know what situations they steal, what types of pitches the pitchers like to throw the most, and how to hit the different pitches. Nolan Ryan, who played for the Rangers most of his MLB career, has led this team stacked with young talent to the first postseason appearance in club history in his first year as the president/owner. I think it will be a close series with Texas coming out with the win. As they say, "Everything is big in Texas" including this series!
