The Texas Rangers have made it all the way to the World Series and it has been a lot of fun to watch them over the last few weeks. While we both rooted for the Rangers back in Texas, when we moved here we decided to adopt the Mariners as our favorite team. Until this year, neither of these two teams had made it to the World Series, they're not exactly the most successful franchises.

The Mariners just finished a 100-loss season, so it wasn't that much fun watching them this last summer. It is exciting to have a good baseball team to root for now, though, and to be able to watch the Rangers in the playoffs on national TV. I wish they could've been more successful when we lived there, but we'll be rooting for them this World Series.
