2016 was two years ago? Time to rethink that handle.
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:

Its not really complicated. I will try and use small words and speak slowly for you if that helps.Lucky #007 said:
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.

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.

Where are we?Lucky #007 said:
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.

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:

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.

The fact that you're still posting in this thread after your team finished fourth speaks volumes._lefraud_ said:
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.

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.
