I've been an Astros fan all my life ... the killer Bs were my childhood. But it was hard to talk trash from 2009-2014. Which is why I never did. I wouldnt be caught in the crossfires of a thread like this out of fear of looking stupid
Which is why I'm surprised to see so many rangers fans still on this thread talking s**t
I think I'd kill myself if my team was paying a boatload of cash to a rat face barely hovering over the Mendoza line, who has a brother who gives out handy's to teammates, and who only has said boatload of cash because he cold cocked Bautista.mathguy86 said:
Just to summarize the current state of the argument of "Who is better: Odor or Altuve?"
Altuve: .302/.360/.552, OPS+ 134, 28 HR, 40 BB, 77 SO
Odor: .204/.280/.432, OPS+ 78, , 27 HR, 47 BB, 165 SO, slower than Robbie Chirinos
The question isn't who's better. Its why are you paying Rat Face all that cash?
No we don't. We are years and potentially a change in GM away. And probably some luck. I don't support the new stadium build, but admit that it might give us a slightly better chance in the free agent market.aTm2004 said:You see, the difference is we knew we sucked and had to rebuild.

I was just hitting the talking points.AccidentProne said:
I'll just assume both of y'all go to games in April and May only. And then when the temps reach 100+ y'all stay at home. Actually you're both in Houston, and Farmer is an Astros fan who has an indoor stadium so not sure why one of your points is "baseball is meant to be played outdoors"
The only one you missed is that public spending on sports stadiums and subsidizing billionaires is stupid.Farmer1906 said:I was just hitting the talking points.AccidentProne said:

I like your new ballpark, minus the carpet.
Yes I'm in Houston. Actually, I took my son to his first Rangers game in August to properly start the brainwashing process.AccidentProne said:

I guess. He prefers playing outside and getting dirty over sitting in the AC watching an ipad.AccidentProne said:
Good. I'm sure he's going to really enjoy going to games in August in a climate-controlled environment in the middle of summer
Really? Since 1972, when the Rangers came into existence, each team had led in attendance 24 season. The 30 year window is convenient because it throws out the previous 11 year window where the Astros drew more every single season. I could just as easily say lets only look at the last 20 years. Since 2000 (when we moved into Enron/MMP), the Astros have led in attendance 12 times and will be 13 this season. The Rangers only 8, with your streak of 8 coinciding when your team was better. And that's total attendance in a stadium that seats 7000 more butts.South Platte said:
Again, as I noted above, Texas has outdrawn Houston in a majority of the past 30+ years.

Not an Aggie, but I'm OK if he wants to go there. But between Baylor and the Rangers, I'm well conditioned to press on . . .aTm2004 said:"Son, if you're going to be an Aggie fan, you need to get use to disappointment.

Good lord those are embarrassing numbers for the Rangers lineup. Any progress this year is overshadowed by our likely 6-13 record vs. Houston. And 5-14 vs. Oakland. If we could avoid those teams our record would be 63-55. If only . . .Farmer1906 said:
