1906 moron, yes, the Rangers will be in the playoffs.

F"N Book it.


Blew a 9-1 lead against Cleveland. Please elaborate the playoffs? Your team is as good as it's gonna get for the year.

It's so beautiful. Could Jon Daniels be my hero and be a BUYER at the deadline again?! I thought it was only a dream a few weeks ago.


All they need is 7 BP arms.

And it keeps getting better.

At this point they're regretting letting Dyson go.

This is like when the Astros played the Twins. Only in reverse.

Did Carlos Gomez at least get a hit or something? You guys can come pound your chests about that at least right?

Oh sorry guys. I just had to go look. 0 for 3 with 3 Ks. Sorry fellas. Not sure if there's anything that will bring them in here now.

But Gallo hit another bomb and he walked. He's making huge strides

Rangers need to go for it! Go grab Quintana and make a deep playoff run.

Holy crap. Cough up a 9-2 lead. You start 2 regulars below the Mendoza lineand have a third hovering over it. 17 Ks on the night and that's not really that much of aberration for this team.

But they are gonna be buyers and win a WC spot. You bet.

I know the Rangers fans are stat challenged and don't really understand a stat more complicated than wins and losses but here's one for them to think about.

Strikeouts. Rangers hitters make a lot and their pitchers don't. They have 685 Ks as hitters and their pitchers have generated 532. They are -153 in the K-Stat. The Astros have 526 Ks as hitters and the pitchers have generated 778. They are +252.

I'm pretty sure one of those is bad and one is good.

They do have the 4th highest run differential (likely third after tonight) in the AL. According to Astros fans in 2016, that makes them a playoff team.

We will welcome you with open arms. Sure you didn't live through the 51 one season, but it's okay.

BTW...I think y'all should be worried that Darvish doesn't want to pitch in front of that atrocity of a BP. Or at least wants to see how it improves before signing a contract there.

When the money comes calling, I don't think he is staying either way... But I have already heard Rangers fans penciling in Darvish AND Otani...

Do you really think it's clever to spout off random stats that Houston is superior to than Texas? It's doesn't take a damn genius to know Houston is going to be a better at almost every stat out there. It shows in the W/L column, the only stat that matters.

Sounds like you're admitting the 'stros are your daddy. Took you long enough.

Pretty sure not a single Rangers fan has disputed that the Astros are better than the Rangers so far this season. They're by far the best team in the league at this point. A lot can happen between now and October though, but congrats on the almost halfway through the season championship.

So what's the excuse now. So far it's been...

Just wait until Dyson is out of here
Just wait until Beltre gets back
Just wait until Gomez gets back
Just wait until Hamels gets back

Here we are with all the above having happened and still 13.5 GB

Hey Rangers fans, haven't been keeping up with Tyson Ross since he came back from injury. How's he been doing?


Not too shabby. 6 innings - 2 hits - 1 run against Cle.

Unless the record has been broken. Mark Reynolds has the record for consecutive plate appearances with a strike out. It's 9. Can Gomez claim the record?! This is must see TV!
