I hope Ranger fans enjoy the postseason, not as much as Astros fans but I do hope it is a fun ride for them.

Baseball is way too long of a season for me to jump into trash talk. Next day's starting pitcher will humble you quickly. It's a brutally long and sometimes unforgiving season.
I enjoy baseball rivalries but the games are so based on single, 1:1 matchups between pitcher and batter with some random results at times. I like following my team (Houston) and enjoy when the Yankees lose because they get so much run in the media etc.
Both of my sons play collegiate baseball and I know the ups and downs. It's October so have a fun ride!

Anyone know what channel the Astros Wild Card game is on I can't seem to locate it.

This.
CLASSLESS Dallas morning news
Their own newspaper wrote the exact same thing, but McTaggart is an irresponsible journalist for suggesting the rangers partied when they should’ve been focused on 162. It’s always #OrangeTeamBad and now apparently it’s extended to beat writers.https://t.co/62LUS8HhKE pic.twitter.com/BffSklmx3K

Lol it's funny how this is a thing.
It was a premature celebration and they're gonna be mocked for it.

I was assured the Astros would be at home watching the Rangers in the playoffs and it turns out that's what happened.

Far be it from me to tell someone how to enjoy a rivalry, but IMO playing your rival on the biggest stage possible is the most fun experience as a fan. And if that never happens then it's not really a rivalry, is it?

The bright side is no ALCS games on a Saturday.
Astros and Rangers both better take care of business. An ALCS matchup would be epic.
Even with all the **** talking -- I genuinely hope our Aggie Rangers fans get to enjoy this trip to the postseason,

Speaking of diarrhea, I was just reading some of the early morning comments on the Rangers thread. Haha, mostly kidding, even though you called us "trash" in your own post.
What is your prediction for this WC series? I think the Rangers can do some damage at the plate, but they better do it early. I suspect you need at least 7 innings from you starters. That's an obvious recipe for most teams to win a game, but it seems the only path for Texas in my opinion. Jump ahead early and hang the hell on.

It'd be awesome. To think we were both in driver's seat in our respective divisional rounds in 2015 and both ultimately blew it.
I can't find the perfect adjective to describe the Houston Astros fanbase, but it's unfavorable. I'm not going to get into a back and forth on this. My college and pro teams have had a ton of successful recently and I've never felt the need to spew hate toward other fans. I've usually been pretty thankful for the good times after suffering through some lean years.Marvin said:South Platte said:Yeah, diarrhea for an entire week sounds like tons of fun.Harry Dunne said:100%.

I'm not going to predict Rays-Rangers. We're barely fielding a healthy starting rotation as this point, and Eovalid isn't close to 100%. I'll say that strange things happen in baseball.

You don't spew hate of your own? Ok, gotcha.
Good luck this afternoon.
Hmmm, take advantage of early opportunities, build a lead, and have the starter go at least seven.
Somebody smart, incredibly handsome, and downright likable laid out that happy path earlier today…

Good thing, you certainly did not want to extend the six game postseason losing streak coming into the game. More so since the Twins have an early lead and might end their 18 game streak.CrawlingNo5 said:

Once again be careful it's the hope that kills you.
Astros players are sitting on their couches today watching the postseason, just like you guys predicted
While it is always nice to get the first one under your belt, it is more important to get the last W of the postseason.CrawlingNo5 said:

The Rangers can already smell the liquor coming from the clubhouse
Come on, that was a good win. Rangers hit the ball hard and took advantage of mistakes. Montgomery was fantastic. That was a good win, and likely their recipe for success throughout the playoffs.
We'll see if Tampa cleans it up tomorrow. They were awful.
