"Hey rangers, our city was hit by one of the worst natural disasters of all time, and our stadium and city are inoperable; is it cool if we just switch home series?"

"We'd rather not put ourselves at a scheduling disadvantage, but here's a million dollars in relief"

Are Astros fans still mad about this? Good grief, let it go.

I know of several people down in Houston right now helping out. If I know of several, that tells me that there are a crap ton of these terrible Dallas people down there helping. The Rangers are also donating millions. Get over yourselves. You're acting like entitled snowflakes.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Will reciprocate just like y'all did if the shoe is ever on the other foot. Great example!

Your season was spiraling down well before Harvey. The problem is you want to blame everyone but your front office and your mediocre players. Say it with me YOU WERE NEVER THAT GOOD.

Yes, of the two cities the one famous for their 30,000 millionaire wannabe ****** bag citizens is the one not acting like a snowflake. The Astros asked to switch series, the rangers declined and are facing a PR ****storm over it, which is why they're falling over themselves to not look like a bunch of aloof ********s

Still waiting for the math on how the location of 3 professional baseball games to be played in late September helps or hurts a flood victim.

---

How does it help a five hundred ball club?

We blame our front office and injuries. We have to get healthy and get some momentum before the playoffs. We all know that. Mediocre players is a bit of a stretch.

So no answer, huh? I figured

It's a dick move, if you can't see that it just because Dallas is full of dicks who think they're in Manhattan

So you honestly believe the Rangers did the right thing? And that the GM was telling the truth when he said the main reason was the inconvenience to the season ticket holders? And you are correct that it will not financially impact the flood victims. I admit it. But sometimes symbolic good will means stuff. All I can say is that if the situation was reversed that the Astros would switch series if the circumstances were the same. Call me old fashioned.

I like derm in here. You should stick around.

I was asking for the math. I think getting worked up over the location of these games in 4 weeks is moronic regardless of what the direction was or where they are played. If it keeps you going, then maybe some perspective is needed. I'm not defending or condemning them. But I think this whole controversy is stupid.

You have literally no way of knowing that.

You are actually correct. I meant to type "I would hope that the Astros would switch...". Freudian slip I guess.

Still waiting to hear about this PR ****storm. Other than the one Astros fans are trying to conjure up because their whiny President Reid Ryan spouted half of the facts to the media

"I can't say they wouldn't " doesn't mean "would not" especially when you're talking a guy with zero authority or influence on the decision.

And I would be disappointed if the Astros acted that way. obviously, you think differently.

And why do Ranger fans remind me so much of sips?

Don't call them that. Mack offered to do absolutely anything when bonfire fell.

It's the truth, Austin nor Dallas likes to pretend it's in Texas.

And again, two situations that aren't remotely comparable but keep beating that drum
