Don't know what's funnier. You goaltending the Rangers fan who got caught with his pants down or the two others that decided to give you blue stars for goaltending. Either way it's nice to see you stick up for each other.Ag2012 said:

It's Dyson, but he lost so many games for you he officially changed his name to Dylon. Then he went into the witness protection program.agent-maroon said:WTF is a "Dylon"?irish pete ag06 said:AccidentProne said:

You shouldn't post when you're agitated. You make stupid mistakes at a rate noticeably higher than normal.

Astros fans are so cute. Hope they enjoy their first AL West title. Maybe next year they'll act like they've been there before.

Carlos Correa was 7 years old when the Astros won their last division title...
But silly Ranger fan did not post such but went about saying how giddy we all are to win our first AL West title, a division the 'Stros have been apart of a whole five seasons. Also the fact that our best players are young, this title should be the first of several.gigem1223 said:jkag89 said:Ranger fans that ignore the fact that that the Astros have won a number of division titles before being forced to move to the AL in 2013 are either naval gazers or have no concept of baseball history.gigem1223 said:

Building a strong farm system through the draft is being on welfare? Once the young talent reaches the big then you start signing higher end FAs and trading for MVPs. Now we're set up to make the playoffs 5-6 times over a 7-8 year stretch.free_mhayden said:irish pete ag06 said:Like winning the lottery and saying I worked hard for this!Lucky #007 said:

Better than taking handouts and being on welfare for 4 years then saying I worked hard for this!
56-106
55-107
51-111
70-92
One of the worst four year stretches in the history of Major League Baseball. Worked hard indeed.
How do you win a title? Gotta be in the postseason. Baseball is baseball. We may win 4 titles, we may never make the WS.free_mhayden said:
All teams try to build a strong farm system through the draft.
Not all teams tank to historical levels for 4 straight years just to do so.
Punting for 4 straight seasons just to make the playoffs wouldn't be worth it to most fan bases. If you win a title, then that's another story.
But as it stands, you're 26-27 since the All-Star Break.
The goal isn't "just to make the playoffs" like you keep repeating. I am not sure the point you're trying to make. At this time we have made the playoffs once and will make it again this year. We might win a title this year, we might not. We will likely make the playoffs again as the roster will only get better next year. We might win a title next year, we might not. Assuming no major injuries or drop offs we 2019 might look a lot like 2018. We might win a title in 2019, we might not. No one can predict the future, bud.free_mhayden said:
Absolutely agree. I don't think the 26-27 since the ASB is any indication that your franchise is in big trouble.
But that's the thing about cancelling your baseball team for 4 years -- I'd damn sure want to see something more come out of it than a handful of ALDS appearances and an ALCS or two.
No other team in baseball has had to tank that badly just to make the playoffs.
You accomplished "making the playoffs" like you were just writing off. You did it in a way that was very improbable and not repeatable. Your head is in the sand if you think otherwise.free_mhayden said:
Agreed... which is why I think it's amusing that your fanbase talks about how "lucky" the Rangers have been to win and how they shouldn't feel like they accomplished anything (eg. winning the lottery).
Your franchise purposely sank to depths that practically no other franchise has ever had to do just to become competitive. I'd hold off puffing your collective chests until you actually do something of note... As of now in the 2-post-tank years you've missed the playoffs and been ousted in the LDS.
Better get to work before you have to tank again.

I'd rather have success due to out-performing what the statistics say than have success(? -- still TBD) by purposely tanking for 4 seasons.
By losing you mean playing around .500 which is basically what Arlington has done all year.agent-maroon said:
Losing your way to "success" is still losing. Especially if you're losing intentionally.
What I can't figure out is why the Astros are tanking the 2nd half of the season. Losing must be a hard habit to break.
Dude they're not points, they're goalsagent-maroon said:
Fair point. Guess those 11 point spankings by the Oakland bottom feeders skewed the view a bit
