Allsports article on the St. Louis Cardinals come back to beat the Texas Rangers and win the Fall Classic. Why did the Rangers choke in a tough loss to swallow
So the Baseball sports news and sports on the web is over for the next little while and Texas ended up coughing up another hair ball in the World Series. There were a few things that played against the Rangers in the Fall Classic but the bottom line is, when you have your heel on the opponents throat, you have to finish them off and Texas just could not get the job done. Maybe allsports jinxed them by predicting they would win. Lord knows I was brutal in the prediction department this year with the worst record I have ever had but that’s why the games are played. You could also say that the Cardinals were destined to win the Championship with the way they finished the season and the way they performed right through the playoffs. Allsports thought they may have it together when they put the Phillies out. I think I stated in that first playoff post that the Cardinals would need some divine intervention to get past Philadelphia. They did and seemed to have something looking out for them all the way through the playoffs. The Rangers sure would not argue, having the Cardinals down to their final strike on two occasions in game six and letting them up off the carpet.
So what happened to the Rangers that put them behind the eight ball. In hindsight here are some of the things that worked against them.
