The State of Texas does not have a ring but does have more World Series appearances in the last 20 years than your beloved Dodgers.

Nobody cares about the runner-up, but the Astros have been much more successful than the Rangers. As somebody who's favorite team lost three times in the World Series (before finally getting it done in '81,) I can definitely tell ya that I'd rather not be in it than lose in it. Not being in it for 20 years is not nearly as disappointing as seeing them lose it in '74, '77, n' 78.

Now that's just crazy. I simply can't say I prefer the 2009 Indians over the 1995 or 1997 teams.

Well, Cleveland's expectations are to be 2nd best, or less. It's comfortable for them.
