Congrats Rangers fans! What a time for you guys. Enjoy every minute of it! Be advised, sometimes it will take a LONG time to receive championship gear when you order online. Better to make it to a store and get it if you can stand the long lines.TexasAggiesWin said:
Just ordered a Rangers WS Champions flag from Academy. Will hopefully get the opportunity this evening to get to a store to find a few pennants and other 'necessities'
Imagine trying to argue that the Texans are a better franchise than the Cowboys. Even with the Cowboys disappointments, the Texans haven't come close to any success. Just Houston things I guess.The Porkchop Express said:The Cowboys are moving to Houston?LeagueCityAg said:He's just sad that the worst sports franchise in the state is from Houston.FriscoKid said:bearkatag15 said:

I like the effort. It's cute that you want to flex your **** while we are literally celebrating. Good job.
Ugh
We thought every announcer was against us, especially during their love affair with Juan Soto (the eternal 19 year old).Grapesoda2525 said:
Question for Astro fans who have been to 7 ALCS and 4 World Series.
Did you guys ever have to listen to an announcer throughout your whole playoff journey who not only hated your team, but actually sighed when you got close to winning the championship?
**** John Smoltz and thanks for the merchandise advice.

Just remember as you're celebrating that you got onto/made fun of us Astros fans for a few things.
1. Bringing up our 2022 title in the 2023 trash talk thread
2. Buying and wearing our WS merchandise everywhere
3. Going to replica ring nights
Now that you guys will have replica ring night and merchandise I'm going to assume you won't be enjoying any of those? Since you made fun of us for it.
Also I look forward to y'all not bringing up the 2023 season once April starts since according to yall "its in the past, only sips bring up past titles"

I actually like this approach. Over the years, I believe a lot of us Astros fans have hated the media on both coasts. Very entitled. It was very enjoyable to beat Dodgers, Red Sox, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Phillies, etc. I have a lot of respect for baseball fans and their teams in general, but the media and MLB have made certain aspects less enjoyable.JWinTX said:
Fellow Texans, eff the libs in the East Coast and West Coast that think baseball belongs to them.
Our great state owns the MLB. Yes, its not trash talk between each other, but its effing trash talk to all the lesser states.
Nah, y'all have only won one legitimate title too.3B Paul 97 said:
Rangers fans should enjoy this one as there is no guarantee going forward. Many teams win one and drop back down to Earth. Only a few can sustain the dominance the Astros have displayed.

I'm just glad fan bases of other teams can't say we don't have a championship anymore. Not just aimed at Astro fans, but Yankee fans, Red Sox fans, and dodger fans too.tjack16 said:Out in Left Field said:tjack16 said:

Yall should be! I just hated this whole season when rangers fans would make fun of us for being just as excited about our 2022 title.
Now that you have one, you see why we were so excited
I suppose you're talking about looking brighter as of today compared to the Stros today, and not looking brighter than it did after the Stros won it all in 2017. We'll have to see if your bright future includes 6 straight more ALCSs and another championship.FunkyTownAg said:
This team is not going anywhere. What the stros have done over the past few years is pretty good but objectively speaking the Rangers future looks much brighter than the stros
Astros are still the big dog because of their extensive pedigree, but if we beat them in the playoffs again or get one more World Series I'd say it's even.fc2112 said:Nah, y'all have only won one legitimate title too.3B Paul 97 said:

AL central will probably be dog poop again. It will probably be lots more AL East vs. AL west then maybe another divisional fight in the ALCS.tjack16 said:Grapesoda2525 said:Astros are still the big dog because of their extensive pedigree, but if we beat them in the playoffs again or get one more World Series I'd say it's even.fc2112 said:Nah, y'all have only won one legitimate title too.3B Paul 97 said:

I think we see another Astros/Rangers playoff series next year. My guess is ALDS and the winner plays Baltimore for the pennant

I'm thinking y'all win the division and we are the wild card. So however it shakes out I do see another collision course.
I have Texas going 95-67 and the Astros 93-69.

The Rangers made big investments in Seager, Semien, & deGrom & signed Gray & Eovaldi to healthy deals. What about Jung, Carter, Lowe, Heim, Garcia, Leclerc, Sborz, Chapman, Dunning, Jankowski, & Garver, among others? None of those guys were bought for big $
