Now the bats are humming to go along with the AL West's best pitching staff.
Poor freaking Arlington.

It must be opening month, Houston's World Series prior to a steady fade toward October.

That town talks a bunch of crap to only have two championships* of any kind ever. They are the kings of months that start with A. In April the Astros will win it all and in August the Texans will dominate.
*Rockets championships that happened to coincide with Jordan playing baseball. Could be 4 if we wanted to count the Dynamo.

You are aware that Rangers fans had no expectations until about 2010, right?Schrute Farms said:
Oh, to be a Houston fan. Where one playoff appearance in 12 yrs and a decade winning percentage of 29% against the Rangers equal progress. It must be nice to have such expectations.

2010, five years after Houston's lone stretch of relevancy. It was during Houston's greatest six years of baseball that they only won one more division championship than the "no expectations" Rangers. Congrats.
Aside from playing in the Astrodome and a few blips in the 80's, that's it. The relevant legacy of the Houston Astros:nhayden said:
You're not good at baseball history if you consider that run the lone relevancy of the Houston Astros.

Nice moving of the goal posts. Prior to the wild card era making the post season at all made a team very relevant in baseball. Both the 80 and 86 teams were significantly more relevant than any team the Rangers would field until 2010.
I know that really, really pisses Arlingtonians off. I'm sorry.
