It was a disappointing end for those of us cheering for the Rangers.
After watching Texas walk in two runs, it was post-apocalyptic for me.
But I thought it was a great series none-the-less.

Punk'd! Freed prisoner told Mets won all
After being freed following a nearly five-month stint in an Egyptian jail during that country's uprising,
Queens native Ilan Grapel received interesting news: The New York Mets won the World Series during
his isolation.
The misinformation was a joke played by Rep. Gary Ackerman, according to the New York Post.
In a news conference in Tel Aviv following his release, the newspaper reports, Grapel said: "There's so
many people to thank, and after being cut off for the past five months ..."
At that point, the Post reports, Ackerman chimed in: "We told him the Mets won the World Series."
Grapel, a 27-year-old U.S.-Israeli citizen, was freed Thursday in a prisoner swap between Israel and Egypt.
