The largest division lead at the AS break was the 01 Mariners @ 19 games. If Daddy can hold serve at 16, we'd be #2 all time. Actually, we can drop 1 game on our lead and still be second all time.
How does it make you feel, Arlingtonians? Are you comforted that Oakland, LAA, & Seattle are in the same boat as you?
They went down in the history books as the team with the most regular season wins in all of baseball history. Even though they fell short of winning it all, I would say that qualifies as a good season. You just need to make the playoffs to have a shot at winning it all. Just ask the '06 Cards. Last I checked having a 16 game lead gives you a good shot at that.bigcat22 said:aggie1906 said:

I don't think anyone will deny Houston has a damn good team. But remind me, how did the 01 Mariners finish the season? And how many times have they made the playoffs since? But good thing they won the half-way through the season award, such a cool banner to fly at their park
Feels good to say it, doesn't it?bigcat22 said:
Houston has a damn good team.
So not only are we hands down the best team in the division that is lead by a very young and talented core, but we also have the best farm system so this dominance should continue for a very long time.irish pete ag06 said:
Just a reminder on how dark the future is for the Rangers and the rest of the AL West.
11) Houston Astros: Broad array of talent with outstanding depth. The Astros have a case as high as sixth. Overview. 2015 Rank: 10th; 2016 Rank 3rd.
16) Oakland Athletics: On the upswing over last two years although not as much as some clubs; much depends on how fatigued you are with Renato Nunez and Matt Olson; don't underestimate the pitching. Overview. 2015 Rank: 27th; 2016 Rank 18th
21) Texas Rangers: Good mix of C+ types but not as much impact/upside as typical for the Rangers; I imagine this is cyclical and will improve quickly. Overview. 2015 Rank: 5th; 2016 Rank 7th
23) Seattle Mariners: Good news is improvement from some hitting prospects after disastrous 2015. Max Povse and Robert Whalen over from Braves should make quick impact on mound. Overview. 2015 Rank: 17th; 2016 Rank 26th
28) Los Angeles Angels: This system needed a complete rebuild after years of neglect. There are signs of life, enough to move them out of the basement, Overview. 2015 Rank 28th; 2016 Rank 30th
And our oldest player is the one struggling the most (hitting...certainly not mentoring).aggie1906 said:So not only are we hands down the best team in the division that is lead by a very young and talented core, but we also have the best farm system so this dominance should continue for a very long time.irish pete ag06 said:

That's generally what happens when you're one of the worst teams in the league for nearly a decade. Congrats on sucking for so long.
Is Correa supposed to punch him now and are we all supposed to furiously change our facebook profile pics to the punch in a masturbatory frenzy?Lucky #007 said:
So do I have this right? Correa thinks Osuna took too long to throw him out? And he's mad about this?
Oh yeah... and don't forget extending him for nearly a decade and watching his production fall off a mt. everest sized cliff.Lucky #007 said:

If Jose Altuve had a brother named Jose Altuve who'd jacked off another dude in the locker room, yal wouldn't even talk about anything else.
Also, if Jose Altuve's brother, Jose Altuve, did that. He'd be way better at it then Rougned's brother, Rougned.
They sure are turning on him. He went from a hero that punched a dude to can't trade him quick enough.irish pete ag06 said:Oh yeah... and don't forget extending him for nearly a decade and watching his production fall off a mt. everest sized cliff.Lucky #007 said:
