Astros have now DOUBLED the amount of division titles than the rangers have

Astros - 14
Rangers - 7

---

I'm somewhat surprised at the 7. I would have guessed around 5.

this dropped off my watchlist because it was dead for so long

Nice team and season, Astros fans

Yep pretty impressive. Won't say congrats, and I hope they lose quickly, but that was a damn good turnaround. Much respect.

whoever trolled them over there got them all riled up bunch thin skinned small d*** Ranger fans. LMAO

Whoever made a sock to troll them on their thread is a tool.

You want to gloat here in the trash talking thread? Gloat. I'm not going to do that. It's kind of like kicking the fat kid in the bathroom in school. The first time you do it, it's fun. But doing it 8 years in a row it loses its entertainment value. It's just kicking the fat kid in school because you can and you know there is nothing they can do to stop you.

Now I must admit, getting a free shot in on the fat kid's chuggies every now and then does hold a small measure of satisfaction.

nah see how they really think they did fine

Typical small dicked houston loser. The anchor fanbase of aggie sports. Always so obsessed with other teams, other programs, etc. Broken.

The Rangers need to perform better for them to be a rival. The stros have been on another level. In reality the stros own the AL West. One game in eight years is really all the ranger fan has.

Baseball trash talk…. Whatever. SMH. Anyway. Go Astros!!!

First, as Aggies, we should be the first to acknowledge that bringing up history is a silly proposition. Yes, if it's all you got fine. But nobody today gives a **** about whether the Yankees were once dominant. What have you done for me lately!? Same thing with the Horns. Shut up t-sips.

I have rooted for the Astros for 50+ years. I am proud of my Astros and this team was a tough one to follow for most of the season. I'm just glad the window hasn't closed entirely.

Arlington fans like to yap about the Astros and their fans, but most can't face the music here.

Saw one whining about the Astros in an Entertainment board thread about the Michigan assistant coach the other day. Free rent FTW.

That Danny dude is a lunatic...he's convinced Houston fans are the reason Aggie football hasn't been competitive, it's insane.

yep him and Cmiller hiding behind a computer they are legit insane.

This guy sounds like a king size bag.

t's honestly pretty damn funny - the fanbase that seeks so much validation from other fanbases wins a title in a fashion that forever makes other fanbases not give them full credit for it.

It's a scarlet letter that they'll forever wear, and barring any actual run of titles, people will always remember them in that matter.

It's why they are so desperate to frame division titles and ALCS appearances as a "dynasty".h

---

holy **** these people are certifiable insane do Ranger fans realize their franchise is irrelevant literally no one cares about the WS you won it will be forgotten like a fart in the wind.

Enjoy the playoffs oh wait.

---

Next year won't be any better for them either. Destin to be a 3rd place team unless the A's keep the same momentum from this year and drop them to 4th. They got excited after one anomaly of a year, but they are back where they belong, being cellar dwellers since 2016.

I'd rather lose quickly in the playoffs than not make it at all

Ya think?!?!

i laughed... and will keep this for a future response!

This Oakland A's thing sucks.

Any thoughts on possibly seeing AJ Hinch in the WC? They are currently in a 30-11 stretch. I honestly can't name a single Tiger, but I do know that MLB needs more guys like Mickey Tettleton in the league. Make chaw great again.

Detroit is the one team I don't want the Astros to see in the first round of the postseason. The Twins are done IMO so hopefully the Tigers are the 5 Seed and the Royals are the 6 Seed.

Hinch will win the AL Manager of the Year Award with KC's Matt Quatraro and the Astros Joe Espada being the runner ups.

Stephen Vogt should probably win it.

Don't disagree, the A's have played good ball since the All-Star Break.

D'oh

I think the Rangers will bounce back and then some. I see a better year on the horizon for them. That said, as an Astros fan, I have to say that this division may be primed to otherwise get pretty weak. Seattle just can't seem to figure it out.

Not a huge obscure MLB trivia guy, but just wondering how many teams playing their last game in a venue prior to relocating to a whole new city win that last game by beating the defending World Champion?
