World Series preview

No its not the Yankees and Phillies.  Wednesday night the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers, will kick off the 2011 World Series at Busch Stadium in St' Louis.  Both these teams are in the Fall Classic after a rather unusual playoff run, complete with a lot of runs, strong bullpens, managing, and squirrels.  Texas has done it with pitching and just enough offense, extra inning and one run games in the ALCS (6 games).  St. Louis is a bit of a deeper team with no starter getting out of the fifth inning, in the NLCS they have gotten 24 1/3 innings out of their starters and 28 2/3 out of their bullpen.  Both teams will have star players to get out David Freese, Albert Pujols on St. Louis, and Adrian Beltre, Josh Hamiliton on TEX.  As far as this series goes Texas has played a lot of close games and St. Louis's starting pitching hasn't gone very far.  The Cardinal starters haven't been great but the Ranger guys haven't been much better.  This series just might come down to who can score more runs and have the better bullpens.  we might see a lot of one run games and a battle of the bullpens.
