The Rangers will not hold a rally following their loss to the Cardinals in the 2011 World Series. Texas held a rally last October following the team's first World Series appearance, which ended in a loss to the Giants. Rangers spokesman John Blake said on Saturday that the team decided before the series began that no party should be held if they lost this year. Blake said the team's expectations were higher, "and if we didn't win, we didn't think it merited it."
