Never forget
Daniels was such a ****...also it had nothing to do with fans but they didn't want a bunch of road games at the end of the season to potentially ruin their run to the playoffs that year (spoiler alert: they didn't make it).

That was the main reason along with they are a bunch of f***ing ass holes. I still see dip*hit rangerette fans trying to spin it as they weren't the bad guys. Yes you were, one of the worst national disasters to ever hit the city and you were worried about too many road games down the stretch. F***. YOU.


At the end of Aug they were 14 games behind us and 4 games out of the WC needing to jump 4 teams with 2 other 0.5 games behind them. They were being delusional at their chances.

Ryan Pressly does "as you wish"...Ryan Westley

I also would have accepted Ryan Pressly fights Rodents of Unusual Size...Ryan Westley.


Well we are playing some today.

I would be shocked if it isn't open given the weather both today and tomorrow

A perfect day outside, if it isn't open tonight why even have a retractable roof?

Not surprising given they didn't use him as a defensive replacement/base runner during the ALDS. Blanco was on fire for the space cowboys in August/September.

I don't hate the move. Jake wasn't going to start over Chas or Dubon. We lose a late game pinch runner (who never impressed me on the base path) and add a bullpen arm.

We all want the Astros to win, however if things don't go our way I won't be too upset, we have won a lot of games and have our 2 recent WS wins plus all the ALCS wins …. A 3rd title would be really nice but I kind of feel like a Bama fan these days .. we win a few and still kick ass .. nothing to worry about if we don't win this year, people respect the Astros for who we are .. we don't have to prove that to anyone ..
wtf kinda mentality is this ***** GTFO


You do realize I said this just to piss off the Rangers fans that keep coming over here to read our post

9/25

His ERA in Sept is north of 6. 5 starts yet sub 20 IP.

He was elite in SL to close out the season.

He's probably just the emergency long relief (see 18 inning game Garcia) and mop up duty (see game 4 '22 WS).

I still don't get Kessinger. If he's the emergency C just put Salazar on.

But in the end I guess it doesn't matter. Neither are going to bat.

And Blanco is just insurance for insurance sake. He's got more upside than Seth but also more downside.

I think his main role is back up INF. If for some reason Dubon isn't available (already out of the game or Chas is out and we need Doobie in CF) then Kessinger can cover every spot in the INF.

Given how little length the rangers can get from scherzer and gray, I imagine they will make heavy use of long relief to try and hide the bullpen weaknesses

I'm Myers over Singleton.
We need more speed on our bench considering the piano carriers we have in the lineup

Potentially that's a tandem start between them. But it's a pure crap shoot tossing them out there.

Most of my pro-Ranger trash talk thread posts are the same purpose.

Reminds me of when the Heat put their super team together and Jeff Van Gundy started gushing about "They might nevewr lose a game, and at least 6 titles"

If SIngleton is batting we're either up or down by 10 runs or it's the 73rd inning.

I'm with you. Some just can't let it go based on last page.


*Astros win the World Series in 5 games*

"Well without Dusty and Maldy it would have been 4 games" - people on here probably

Eh, let's not count our chickens before they hatch. If we win the WS with Maldy, nobody will care at that point obviously.

But in this scenario?

"Astros get Swept in ALCS in a grueling match between the Rangers, losing by only 1 run in each game while Maldy goes 0 fer 20, leaving 15 people on base"

We have a big handicap with Maldy in the lineup. It is what it is. Unfortunately our manager didn't allow the new guy to play and get ROTY, or become an MVP type player in the playoffs because of it.

Or we PH for Maldy while Diaz is the DH then Singleton hits for the pitcher. There might be a match up where we like Singleton better than our other options.
