Yes. 2016 was 2 seasons ago. 2017 is over for you. It's officially last season. So 2016 is 2 seasons ago. That's 2 years in baseball time. I know it's hard but it is what it is.Lucky #007 said:

Yeah..no.
I don't even blame Rangers fans for being critical of what constitutes as being "2 years ago." The more recent 2016 feels, the easier it is to relive the glory days
What's critical about it? If you're going to call the 2016 season two years ago then yesterday's games were a year ago? It was, at best, a poorly conveyed thought.
Didn't think Arlington could get much sadder. This thread proves me wrong.
Its not really complicated. I will try and use small words and speak slowly for you if that helps.Lucky #007 said:

Your (The Texas Rangers) season ended yesterday. It is now "the off season" between next season and what just finished, AKA last season. Its not "this season", even though it was a day ago in the same way September is last month even though it was 2 days ago.
Now, this is the key point, so follow me here. To say "this season" implies that you are still playing, and last I looked you aren't. We are, and so for the Astros "this season" is still ongoing. The Rangers, not so much.
So since "last season" was 2017, that makes 2016 two seasons ago.

I am a middle aged lesbian with two children. In Texas, the GOP would love to claim I am an unfit parent and take my children.
Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.

I've never heard anyone prior to you refer to the previous season as "two years ago" before the post season even starts. You're right. What you're trying to pass off as a common way of looking at it wasn't a difficult explanation to grasp. It's just a convoluted way to try and make it sound like it was farther back than it actually was.
But I digress, at the end of the day, tie breaks weren't discussed, you tried to use the draft as the tie break, were wrong about how the draft works and here we are.

Daddy is still playing baseball.
Arlington is talking about pipedream free agent signings during the offseason.
Rangers have the market absolutely cornered on 30 HR hitters with negative WAR.
How the hell do you end up with a Mike Napoli and Rougned Odor?

So weak. Ultimate butt-hurt from an Arlington fan who's only hope at baseball happiness is to ride the coattails of Astros opponents.Street_Cred_Norm said:

Best of luck with that, little guy.

How pathetic
You'd root for the taliban before you'd root for the Rangers. Hell, you asshats rooted for Canadians and the Crowned ****** of Baseball over the Rangers. Get outta here with that crap.

Only if the taliban played y'all at baseball. Other than that **** those goat ****ers.
Definitely rooting for the Astros as they are my second favorite team, but if there is a way to see them win and, at the same time, screw over most of the Astros posters here, I'm all for it.
I would typically root for a Texas team once my team is out, but that isn't the case with Houston based teams, because of their fans.
All these astro fans that come over to a ranger/astro trash talk thread when their team is in the ALCS speaks volume about the type of fan they are.

The first thing written in here in almost a week was by an Arlington fan cheering about the Yankees victory.
What kind of fan is that? Do enlighten us.

What's wrong with that?
You just said that it's trash talk thread and we're talking trash and rubbing it in your face that your team is out fishing and golfing while we're in the ALCS.
You just sound butthurt that we're the ones with the ammo now.
The fact that you're still posting in this thread after your team finished fourth speaks volumes._lefraud_ said:

Trash talking on a trash talking thread. What is TexAgs coming to?
Trash talking?!!?
In this case, that's you Arlington. You know... us being daddy and all.
