What is wrong with a good natured nudge at a rival? That is all I've ever posted on this thread. Certainly a whole lot more mild than the **** AgsWin posted today.

Check, I've even posted on your thread this season, not once was it disparaging and I liked your postseason chances then quite a few Ranger fans before they got on this rather impressive run.

The Rangers should not have been in this position in this year. Making a Vegas bet for them to make the playoffs would have been a nice payday. Betting on them to make the ALCS would have been an even bigger payday. Making it to the WS is almost unthinkable.

Astro fans should be given space to cope in whatever way helps them with their pain. I'm a fan of leaving them alone and not talking smack with how our team has done vs theirs.

What about the past seven post seasons and the dynasty? They are almost the Yankees.

Its a bad day to be an Astros fan
I'm not sure if people genuinely believe someone is going to say, "Wow, if some people say I'm a moron for not believing this, it clearly must be true."

It's not much a persuasive argument. It really just sounds like a bunch of miniature dachshunds barking because the first one one barked when it thought it heard something.

never a bad day to be an Astro friend. Maybe all you new rangers fans this year won't understand, but we ride and die with our team. It's been up and down all year, no need to get upset now!

Fair. It is a better day to be a broom stick than an Astros fan.

Have to give credit where credit is due. Rangers bats still haven't exploded like they can, but getting timely hitting and great pitching.

It's close, but not quite over, so don't have your players start beating each other off (again) just yet.

This is rich considering most your fanbase started following baseball in 2017. Numbers don't lie.

That happens with pretty much any sports team that wins a title. The amount of rangers fans will dramatically increase if y'all win it this year. Just like all of a sudden there are a lot more chiefs and warriors fans in America.

Astros have hope. After the sweep, Rangers enjoy cope.

While true, numbers still don't lie. The rangers attendance numbers have been in the top half of the league over the last decade. That's with 100 loss seasons. Meanwhile, the Astros attendance numbers were Oakland-esque before 2017.

Fair point.

All I know is I was there from 2010-2014 and the bad years. What others do or don't do as fans doesn't bother me. If they want to hop on the bandwagon after a title, go for it. The more the merrier

The Rangers had an attendance spike in 2021 because of new stadium. It dropped to 18th in 2022.

Still, nowhere near the lows of Astros attendance during the rebuild.

Might want to look in the mirror. Yall brag about all time record fairly regularly.

Hell, I made a comment yesterday about it and how yall likely would mock Texas as it's something they'd do. Guess I was right.

You're right. They don't.

Yall weren't top half in 18, 19, 22, & 23. 20 was covid and 21 was greatly affected by covid.

Not true, while poor, it was no where as bad as the A's (nor Tampa's, nor Miami's) current attendance woes and at its worse mirrored Oakland's attendance during those dark years. In other words the Astros drew about the same number of fans during their 100+ loss seasons as the A's were drawing when winning and competing for division titles. And lets not forget the forced move to the AL which pissed off many long time fans and a truly effed up TV situation during that time. Also attendance began to rebound before the 2017 season.

Careful, Arlington. This series might be a microcosm of the season. As ya'll know all too well, we are much better on the road.

We all know how that ended up.

this thread would be more fun if the Astros would actually put up a fight. They have been completely outplayed thus far. Such a frustrating year to be an Astros fan. Hats off to the Rangers thus far. Hopefully the Astros can win some games in Dallas and at least bring the series back to Houston.

Particularly odd with a 2-0 lead in the series. I understand the idea of not tempting the malicious and capricious baseball gods but then avoid the thread all together instead of posting BS.
