do you think that the Texas ranger will be in the world series?

They have as good a chance as anyone else... too early in the season to guess on this one.

Unfortunately yes.  Since they acquired Leyland as manager they should do well.  I have to give credit to Detroit's GM and owner cuz they are giving him almost the same free reign to acquire the players that will play for "him" and fit his "strategy" just like Kenny Williams and Jerry Reinsdorf gave Ozzie!!!   As a complete DIE HARD White Sox fan and truly an American League baseball fan, I said to fellow fans that this year I am more concerned about D-troit that Cleveland or Minn. \n\nGO SOX!!!!!!!!!1

I heard about it, I would love to see that. they're talking it over now with the teams and with the yankees stadium people. If it does happen, i'm gonna have to try and get tickets to see my Rangers kick the islanders' butts =P

Yep, but I think they'll win it all next year. What's the difference this year? Pitching and Jim Leyland.\nLook at their starting pitching: Rogers, Bonderman, Verlander, Robinson, and Maroth, who is injured.\nAdd to that Joel Zumaya (Hope I spelled his name right) who is on the rise and another waiting down on the farm--Humberto Sanchez and it's all good.\nMagglio's hitting and Pudge is coming alive. Shelton's breaking out of his slumb. Placido sets the table. Inge is gutsy and Granderson's having a great year.\nThere ya go.

They will win the world series.

It looks like they're straightening out the pitching and if that works out they could have a great year. I hate to see Damon go but there are some good center fielders available.  I'd say it's another playoff but no world series year.

You said it!\nAnd then they have "World" Series tournaments for Baseball....

They have a shot at the Wild Card, but it will not come so easily with the ChiSox and the Tribe in their division.\n\nI don't really think they'll make it, but I will not be surprised if they do because they have the pitching staff; it's just the offense they have that concerns me about them.

The Cubs are my sleeper team this year and I think they will get into the playoffs as a wild-card, but they won't win the World Series. Anyway, I want to see the Pittsburgh Pirates win the World Series, even though it is almost hopeless for me.

Wow, I would love for the REDS to win the series this year! But since I know better,I'd say they will be lucky to gain a wild card spot.

Not only can I not see them winning a World Series this decade, but I'm not sure I see a team continuing to exist in the Tampa market through the rest of the decade. They need more fan support to improve and survive and Tampa doesn't seem to be offering a whole lot of support right now.

I wouldn't go to Texas asking a question like that...\n"When you're in Texas look behind you, 'cause that's where the Ranger's gonna be!"

I take a different approach.\n\nMy opinion is that he will either retire or return to Boston. (it would only be for a couple of months at the most, like a summer home for the family in Boston - its not too hard on him or the family)\n\nHe will not go to the Rangers, he's done with the yankees (he has some nice memories, why ruin them), his actions at his last game this year in front of the Astros crowd told me at that moment, he was sure his days in the Stros uniform were over, and he said goodbye to the fans.\n\nThe only place he has unfinished business is with Boston (after the wa he left the team) He knows the club (with new ownership and Front office) and the fans want him there, he will probably were a Sox cap in the hall of fame, why not finish your career in one. Plus he can actually be above a .500 pitcher in Boston, can't with the Astros (carlos lee ain't going to solve that)\n\nThere are many rumours that he regreted signing with the astros, and wanted to be traded to boston at the deadline. I am sure he will at least consider playing for the Sox again.\n\nAnd he has a better chance of a postseason with Boston than Astros, Boston will have a better rotation and hitting than the Astros (they will need it too) If you are coming back, might as well try for another world series..\n\nThat being said, Retirement is at least a 50% chance as well, probably higher.

I hope it is.  It's been a long drought since 1984.  \n\nI guess I can't complain too much though.  Unlike many Cubs fans and - until recently Red Sox and White Sox fans - I CAN remember my favorite team winning the World Series.\n\nI think the Tigs will stay in contention.  They seem to be having some troubles with the Yankees, but they can't possibly continue the winning streak they were on for the whole year.  If they stay healthy and continue to play good baseball, I can see an interesting September - and, hopefully, October too.

Yes, for USA in the World Baseball Classic.  After that -- he hasn't decided, but my prediction is he will retire.  His manager recently said he is leaning that way. \n\n(He has many options, including returning to the Astros, but he'd have to wait until May 1 to do that.  My guess is that is the second most likely.)

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).
