Ahhhh. I remember the days of teetering around .500 and dreaming of prospects to pan out. I much prefer winning divisions and playing in world series.

You really wanna bust out bad records as trash talk there bud?
quote:So, I get the move, it is a cheap add to give us depth but Gomez may, or may not, even play enough to impact the team. The way things have gone for Houston this year, I wouldn't be surprised to see Gomez finally break out of his slump in Texas. I am not saying it will happen, but can you imagine the anger with him getting called up for the Sept 2-4 series and being the player of the week?
You realize Bregman can also play SS, 2B and LF? Oh wait, Gomez will have you covered for LF.

Just refreshing someone's not so good memory.
quote:So can Profar. I'm not sure about Gallo, but my point is that Bregman is not better than what we already have.

You would think the Rangers and Astros would both have learned their lesson by now about letting players go to in division rivals. It never works out well. Ours always come back to bite us in the ass. Except for Feldman that is.
quote:That doesn't sound accurate. I believe this year would be the 2nd in 5 years. I think you have to go back at least 7 to get the 2 WS teams in.
Yes, the most injury plagued team in baseball history (it's a fact...you can look it up) did not have a good year.
Yes, the team I root for went to the World Series within the last five years. I'm not sure how you see that as a negative.
Are you disagreeing that the Rangers have been the dominant team in the AL West over the last 5-6 years? They are on pace for their fourth division crown in that span. Two of the three years they didn't win it, they were one game back and lost it on the last day of the season.

He said division, not league/pennant
quote:We have had our Justin Smoak, Chris Davis, Napoli, Nelson Cruz, etc. Although if Cruz wasn't gone, it could have been a replay of the 30 for 30 "Two Escobars".
I fully expect it.

It looks like you're making my argument for me.

Didn't he say "on pace for their fourth division crown in that span"?

3 division titles over 6 years. I don't know if Rangers fans just aren't familiar with their team or just not good at math. I am not sure which is worse. Hell, it may be not getting it after it was pointed out.

Ok internet legalists...you win. My team has been dominant for seven years and not six.
