All year, it was assumed that the Philadelphia Phillies were on a collision course for either the New York Yankees or the Boston Red Sox in the 2011 World Series. But, with the field narrowed to just four teams, all three of these contenders have been left to watch the action from the sidelines.
Boston flopped so badly down the stretch that they failed to reach the post-season at all while the Yankees and Phillies were edged out by the Detroit Tigers and St Louis Cardinals respectively. And so, we have Tigers-Texas Rangers and Cardinals-Milwaukee Brewers to look forward to, with the two winners advancing to the World Series.
Texas took Game 1 of their series 3-2 on Saturday night while St Louis and Milwaukee kick off on Sunday afternoon. We like the prospects of a Rangers-Brewers World Series but look forward to plenty more drama before we get there.
