I just took a cab from my hotel to the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Coming home.

The cab driver explained to me how Texans feel about the Rangers. He told me this Series was good experience for the young team. The Rangers were happy to be there, he said, didn’t really expect to win. Will be better next season if they keep Cliff Lee.

And I thought the Giants sure had a different attitude. They weren’t merely happy to be there. They were desperate to win. And they won. They understand chances like this may never come again. Just ask Willie McCovey.
