jgale,
I know what you are getting, about it being nice that there won't be any teams from the East or West Coast in the World Series, but if Houston makes it there calling it a "Heartland" Series would be a stretch.
First off, though I am no fan of the term "Heartland", Houston is both literally and figuratively at least as far away from the "Heartland" as Atlanta. Second, Houston is more or less on the south coast of the US.
