I'm sure you'll get to experience that soon.

Don't see the Rangers ownership doing it on purpose like the Astros so I'm not too worried about it.

Once again, Arlington lives in the past while Daddy has the best record in baseball.

---

When's the parade ????

---

I like this argument.

None of us have crowned ourselves WS champs.

Just simply stating facts...As of right now we're the best team in baseball. You care to argue about that stat?

---

I'm looking forward to the unveiling of the "We Have The Best Record In Baseball 3 Weeks Into May" banner. Sure it's a fact - but who the hell cares ?!?

---

I don't know...anyone following baseball in the third week of May??

Enjoy floundering .500ish baseball for he next 15 years then!

No one has ponied up that talking point yet. Don't worry, it's a long season ya'll will have about 30 more times to trot it out until the Astros win the west going away this year.

The really funny thing is, this place was a ghost town on the Ranger's side two weeks ago, but the very same people coming out of the wood work saying records in May don't matter only did so after ya'll went through a cute little winning streak...in May.

Also, wtf is this??? I know you gotta be just yanking my chain at this point

---

Maybe he meant stained it...like a shart?

Speaking of sharts, I had a pretty close call earlier today. I had what I thought was for sure an epic fart coming and then at the last second had that sudden panic feeling and raced to the ****ter

Gosh dang it. I'm 2 brushes short of peacocking with my wife right now? Does that make me a pheasant?

It doesn't matter. As I've been told all one run games are nothing but luck anyways.

This thread jumped the shark when the rangers fans legitimately claimed, in an epic history rewrite, that they were never in fact mad at Bautista for the bat flip...

I mean damn.

I try to get mad about the bat flip, but the rational side of me also knows I thought it would've been cool if it was the Rangers. There's some give and take there. That being said, folks across baseball still seem to agree that he's a dick (even before the bat flip), and seemed for the most part to enjoy Roogie clocking him. Dude doesn't seem to have alot of friends outside of Toronto.

Does that loser Dave Raymond post on Texags, or do ya'll just carbon copy his talking points?

Two weeks ago, three weeks ago, the Astros had won the division, they were already in the World Series and they were planning the parade. It was laughable the way people were reacting in Houston. And they were talking about burying the Rangers. 'Oh they're done. If we beat the Rangers in this series, in Houston, oh my God they're done. They'll be like, nine games out.' Well, yeah, OK, we were nine games out. Now we're what, five and a half (back)? And there's a long, long way to go, and, they just saw their ace and former Cy Young Award winner go on the disabled list for 10 days. And who knows if he comes off in 10 days.

Talk about over reacting. One fluky winning streak against the worst teams in baseball and all you have to show for it is being 6 games back of the Astros.

I also love how he throws out the completely baseless claim that Keuchel might be out for more then 10 days. It's almost like he's praying for that to happen.

What a chode.

I'm not sure how that's overreacting. The only thing speculative there is about Keuchel. Yall absolutely decided it was done and you've said as much here. You're still the odds on favorite to take the division but it is clearly not over by a long stretch. And I love how it's flukey any time the Rangers do anything good. There's really nothing flukey about it. We've got guys returning to form. Do I expect ten game streaks to be the norm? Nope, but if you thought how April went was the norm for this team you were kidding yourself.

Then it's flukey.

Exactly. He contradicted himself within a two sentence span.

Not really. Flukey would imply that there was no skill and it was just dumb luck and we should expect to go back to what was happening before.

That picture is amazing

Unlikely? Yup

Astros fans were creaming their pants over the Bautista bat flip way more than Rangers fans were ever upset about the bat flip.

We watched the entire series and saw how big of a d-bag Bautista is and the bat flip was just one more thing to add to his being an *******.

Everyone else in the league hates the guy. It's only Toronto and very strangely Astros fans who get a hard on when thinking about Bautista.
