For the first time in their history, the Texas Rangers are the World Series champions. They knocked off the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday night to break the hex that has seen them as MLB’s oldest franchise without a ring.
The Rangers turned Game 5 at Arizona’s Chase Field into an elimination game by crushing the D-backs in Game 4.
They are the only team to go 10-0 on the road in a postseason.
Veteran manager Bruce Bochy won his fourth World Series championship with the Rangers’ victory. Shortstop Corey Seager, an ex-Dodger who joined Texas as a free agent, is expected to be named the World Series Mvp.
Update: Seager was named the World Series Mvp. He was also the Mvp of the 2020 World Series when he was with the Dodgers. He becomes just the second player to win World Series Mvp awards for two different teams, joining Reggie Jackson...

The San Francisco Giants recently jumped on the nostalgia trolley, as players and staff recreated the “Full House” opening credits for a themed night at At&T Park. In a video that played on the Jumbotron for fans, shortstop Brandon Crawford joyously strummed a guitar while relief pitcher Javier Lopez tossed a frisbee around, taking on John Stamos and Jodie Swetin’s roles, respectively. Even manager Bruce Bochy got in on the local fun, though star catcher Buster Posey was conspicuously missing in action. “Full House” famously took place in the Golden Gate City, and the row home that serves as shots of the.

Minutes after Matt Cain completed his perfect game against the Houston Astros last night, his San Fransisco manager Bruce Bochy hugged him and told him, "this is stupid."
Stupid was exactly what Cain was last night in the perfecto.
I caught his sixth inning before I conked out into East Coast oblivion, but the way Cain was throwing, I went to sleep fully expecting to waken to news of a Matt Cain perfect game.

I'm glad I caught Cain's masterful sixth inning, closing it out against poor Brian Bixler. It was beautiful. It was stupid.
With two outs already in the bag, Cain starts Bixler out with a tight, unhittable curveball painted on the outside black, just below the knees. Called strike one.
Cain has already struck out Brian Bogusevic to lead off the inning. Chris Snyder...
