[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1949750, member: 748116"] An all-Texas AL Final is great for the Lone State State but not sure how popular that's going to be Nationally -- except perhaps to see The Trash Can Bangers go down and not get rewarded for their past bad behavior. Arizona is the surprise entry and they seem to be on a roll. They have yet to lose a game in the post-season. A nice reward for Phoenix-area fans who suffered through horrendous heat all Summer long. Something to do until the Coyotes get rolling. Rooting interest for most fans is a local and personal thing. You grow up getting hooked on a team and you stay with them even if you move far away. There is a percentage of baseball 'purist' fans that just enjoy the game itself whomever is playing. But they will always be a minority compared to levels of fan interest in their local teams. Many baseball fans around the Nation are not upset that the Trolley Dodgers wiped out again. Regardless of which sport is playing, when the LA team is on the road the opposition fans will start the chant...'Beat LA! Beat LA!'. Getting back to the really bad heat this Summer, both Texas and Arizona were roasting and blazing hot and this took a toll on a lot of people there. So let's give them all a nice reward with D-Backs vs. Rangers. And a cool October breeze under a clear starlit Southwestern Sky. [/QUOTE]
