I thoroughly enjoyed the playoffs this year, even after my beloved Phillies choked. I think the Rangers showed they were "deserving" of a title. They beat the defending champions, for one thing. I don't see overrated teams like Atlanta and the Dodgers as being more "deserving". I do regret not seeing the surprising Orioles move on, and I wish the young Reds had made the playoffs.

The bottom line is, it's not who is better in April or June or July, but who plays best in September and October and November. Texas deserved to win, because they managed that minefield the best. I don't have a problem with that.
