World Series 2010 Giants vs Rangers ~ Who's gonna win?

[Mben]

The 2010 World Series will be the 106th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series. The best-of-seven playoff will be played between the American League champion Texas Rangers and the National League champion San Francisco Giants , and is set to begin on Wednesday, October 27. In their respective league championship series, the Rangers and Giants eliminated the 2009 World Series teams, the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies, to advance. The Rangers' advancement marks the first time that the franchise has appeared in the World Series in its 50-year history, dating back to the club's days as the Washington Senators. The Giants' victory over the Phillies gave them their fourth World Series appearance ever since relocating to San Francisco before the 1958 season; their most recent appearance was in the 2002 World Series, when they lost to the Anaheim Angels in seven games. The Giants will have home field advantage in the World Series, the first time the National League champion has had home field advantage since 2001, as the NL won the All-Star Game 31 on July 13. For the second consecutive year, Series games will have earlier start times in hopes of attracting younger viewers. First pitch will be at 7:57PM EDT for most games. Game 3 will start at 6:57PM EDT. Game 4 will start at 8:20PM EDT to accommodate Fox's football coverage.[2]

ECSPECIALLY? - How interesting! The real winner in this series is Bengie Molina - he gets a World Series ring no matter who wins 

 

[Mben]

That's true, PSP. Because of the time he played with the GIants this year and then going over to the Rangers will automatically award him a ring.

Okay....After days of being clueless at what PSP was trying to tell me with his post, I now realize I made a rather silly spelling error.  (Not before Mben had to point it out to me....)I spelled especially wrong. (ecspecially) Worse than that, I think I have always spelled it like that. The wrong way. (Gawd, I wonder if I say it that way too?)Thank you PSP and Mben for bringing this rather embarrassing mistake to my attention.  I will now write the word out 100 times spelled correctly. Thanks again....                                                                                             Pam

I apologize for this - to a degree "
"
I have this special skill - for some reason, misspelled words jump off the page like they are 10' tall hot pink neon. It's probably genetic - my mother had this skill as does my sister. "
"
It's a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I wish that I could ignore these things, but it's just not possible. You would think that it would come in handy at school, but in most cases it just pissed off the teachers when would point out their mistakes."

...but if you ever need anything proofread, I'm your guy "

  Nooooo, dont think of apologizing PSP.  I am so glad you brought it to my attention, otherwise who knows how long I would of been making that same mistake. hahahaI have read your posts here at NDF. They are always so well written, and that is a talent not everyone can say they have. Thanks again, Now, without further delay......Back to the World Series, and Who is gonna win.....                                                                                                        Pam
