dude Astros fans were not obsessed with the rangers when we were in the NL, maybe the couple that you knew that live around you in DFW cause they are stuck around it all the time, but I guarantee you 90%+ of Houston fans didn't care less. Like I said a lot of us even rooted for y'all to beat the cardinals… (which was when we were in the NL numb nuts)


I actually was rooting for the rangers to win in 2011 over the cardinals as well. Since we were NL it didn't affect us much.

I might pull the opposite of what that Phillies fan did and buy tickets to give out to Astros fans for this game. Make this feel like a home game might help us out a bit

Just checked it out... Didn't realize how much ticket prices would drop seeing that it is a Friday and potentially the last "home" game for Rangers with series tied.

Can grab 2 solid seats lower deck outfield for less than $150 total.

And they gave Astros fans crap about cheap/open seats for a 3 PM start time

Lower section behind Astros dugout less than $300 for 2 seats. I mean it's pretty tempting but I wouldn't get there until 2nd inning is starting.

I get what they were going for, but my OCD prevents me from buying something where Houston is on the western half of the state. They should have split it North / South (or NW / SE).


As someone actually from west Texas, they could have split east Texas north and south and left the rest of us out of it. We don't give a **** what y'all city slickers care about.

That's some serious revisionist history if you were around this board then. Most Astros gave the excuse that they were just rooting for Berkman to get a ring.

I think we can all agree this might be the worst umpire to ever work an ALCS

Blue is absolutely horrible but to befair, Bregman should have never come up to bat because Maldonado watched strike three.

Rangers just as soft as their fans.

Zero chance that was intentional. Look at the situation.

Brain dead rangers fans think our best reliever is going to put a 2nd dude on base down 2 in the alcs. It's almost like they just started watching baseball this season.

funny to go between the Rangers and astro thread and see how 2 groups of people can see so many things different. Of course, the astro fans are wrong.

I think he threw high and tight to send a message. But didn't intend to hit him. Either way it was stupid to do it even if it wasn't an intentional HBP.

If he did intend to hit him in a 2 run game in the ALCS… I'd be shocked.

Also Garcia pushed two umpires. How is he still in the game?

I don't think it was intentional but maybe that's what they want us to think.

Why put a base runner on after the first hitter got on? Makes no sense.

Also, I would rather face Abreu than Pressley.

The Astros have been here MANY times and know what to do to come back and win a series. Lack of experience in the post season is why the rangers will crash and burn from here on out.

I heard Garcia is getting sponsorship offers from Tampax and Summer's Eve. Any truth to that?

20 minutes after the game and your pinch runner is still standing off the bag.

I doubt it was intentional, you don't do that crap in playoff games, and you certainly don't do it in the 8th inning of a close game. You get that "revenge" next season in a blowout.

Garcia needs more experience here. He didn't keep his cool, and he needed to. Pissed off or not, whether he thinks it was intentional or not, he has to know he can't blow up like that. His closer had pitched and was waiting for the top of the 9th, something he doesn't do often, and Garcia's response caused a 10 minute delay. Even worse, he put his hands on one ump and pushed another one. He'll be lucky to escape with just a fine and no suspension.

Maldy said it perfectly when they asked him how he kept his cool. It's a close game, I can't do something to get ejected, keep it calm and move on.
