He made tacit admission of the cheating. I'm going to mark that as progress

Jeez, they even bleed all over the Cowboys season thread

Just got home. I'm spent emotionally. I haven't read the thread but, there were so many little mistakes made it just irks me. The walls to poor hitters, fielding error that prolonged inning. Adolis bring a hot head and not just taking his base thus making leclerq sit on bench longer, not tagging from second on a ball hit to the track, twice not scoring a runner from third with less than two outs.

I tell myself we're ahead of schedule but, what if the rangers don't get back here again? What if they're the rays and get dumped in wild card round? You never know if this is the one chance. 2010 we thought that window would be open for quite some time and it basically slammed shut after 2011/12. It just makes me sad.

No team has ever made it this far with a bullpen this bad. I'd rest easy on that front. The offense isn't going anywhere.

I feel the same. Just want the Rangers to have their day once. Just once. That's all I ask. Don't even care about the Cowboys, Mavs, Stars. I've seen them all win a title. This franchise could produce a semester course on sports heartbreak.

Focus on a win Sunday, that is the goal now. Rangers can still win this

Yep, it makes no difference that this wasn't supposed be the year. We're here and you never know if we make it back for a long time. Every time it slips away, it's worse.

On a side note, just tuned into the NLCS game. The TBS coverage is superior to the FS1 garbage. The commentators, the camera angles, no ump cam or A-Rod.

I grew up with baseball. I was at the first ever Rangers game, in my mother's womb. Lettered in baseball a few blocks away at Arlington Lamar. My fondest memory as a player was struggling to hit for my entire life, then working on drills every day for an entire summer, and finally being able to hit HS pitching. I've run a sub-6 mile after 50, won racquetball tournaments, and finally got a sub-4 marathon this year, but nothing was as hard as learning how to hit a baseball, and nothing felt better than starting to see those line drives happen. I know how hard it is to do, and I'm amazed how big leaguers do it. This game is a lifelong marvel, and talking trash to people who neither understand it or respect it just doesn't make sense. People think they're Jose Bautista or Adolis Garcia or Bryce Harper. They're not. If they grew up with the game, and maybe knew what it felt like to accomplish something personally, even at a low level, maybe they'd be different. I just don't see the appeal.

I was a STH for the Dallas Stars. 1st season was 1997-98 when they lost the Western Conf Finals.

I had the privilege of going to G1 and G2. Had tickets to G5 & G7, but was out of the country. Got to see the 1st two OTs and the broadcast never returned for me to see the end.

Never once... did I ever think to trash talk the Sabres... nor the RedWings. I was too busy celbrating the Stanley Cup!

I really hope we get to celebrate a Rangers World Series victory.

Posted this in the AL West thread. What are y'all's thoughts? I thought the HBP was intentional at first but I don't think I could be convinced of that now that I've had time to cool off and think about it.

I don't think it was intentional. I do think they were trying to brush him back. That situation is not one in which you hit the guy that pimped a homerun his last AB. But, in Garcia's defense, the heat of the moment got the best of him and it's not like it didn't happen before. Abreu looked like he was as having control issues and we were about to start rocking him.

The benches being cleared changed the whole game. LeClerc went cold, the Astros were like a hornets nest that got disturbed, and the Rangers were deer in the headlights.

Explain to me like I'm 5 why on a deep fly ball to left center, Josh Smith doesn't tag and get to third. Let's say he takes off and the throw from the outfield gets past the third baseman (goes in the dugout, etc) tie ball game. It's possible he gets gunned but not likely.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the failure to tag was a brain fart on Smith, maybe chalk it up to him not seeing the field in who knows how long. But definitely a huge eff up.

There was no reason not to advance on that. If for whatever reason the fielder flubbed it he still scores if he tags up.

I'm still so upset at Garcia.

Acted like a 3rd grader. Take your base and we're in great shape.

Instead nothing good happened. LeClerq got cold.
Pressly got more time to get ready.

So dumb.

Should Baker be suspended for Game 6, for refusing to exit the dugout when tossed? I think, under normal circumstances, it would draw a suspension. Probably not in an ALCS.

Good question, in normal circumstances, there is no debate. However, in normal circumstances Adolis would be suspended for a few games as well for making contact with an umpire.

Who in the hell knows?

Alright peace out till Sunday fellas (but probably sometime early tomorrow morning)

Just got home…so anyone who tells me we aren't cursed is a damn liar.

I guess this has become the trash talking thread.

Staph has abandoned the site.

Yep. I'd like to have a civil discussion about the Rangers.

You'll have to wait until the Asstros fans are done validating themselves.

---

Starting to wonder if it's these guys holding the ags back from breaking through the ceiling. I can't imagine how they'd act

Not sure the world could handle it

Yes, they are the people we are ashamed of

Would probably like nothing better than if Jimbo started cheating to win.

These people have literally abandoned morals for a sports team lmao.

I will never understand the mentality of winning a game and going over to the other team's message board. But I know several Aggies that do it after an A&M football win. The last thing I give a damn about after my team wins is what the other fans are saying to each other. I really don't give a *****

But this is coming from someone that has never clicked on the Astros thread before. Even accidentally.

You're not a real man unless you live vicariously through a group of grown men you've never met so hard that you taunt other people that had no impact on the outcome of an event.

Or something.

A "homer ump". In the MLB.

You guys are ****ing ******s. And I say plural since eight of morons starred the post.

You have your own thread. Get your weird asses over there.
