get em ready

AL rules

What a waste of a night!

...and out come the Rangers fans again, y'all have been supiciously absent since the 8th inning.

No we haven't, I've jumped on y'alls bandwagon for the ride in the Series, and I'm pissed off right now.

Matt,

You're also the exception I'm afraid. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed though.

So ColleyvilleAg are you sying the Rangers would win a Pennant if they were only in the NL? Yea right.

I give all the credit in the world to the ChiSox, I underestimated them coming into this post season. They made a believer out of me by what they did to the BoSox and Angels. That being said I will not give up on the 'Stros until this thing is officially over.

GO 'Stros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like we will all have to wait until next year. I don't see a BoSoxesque comeback in this series.

since i do believe the rangers are a better team than the astros and their performance was a byproduct of a much tougher league (fyi last 7 world series games: 7-0 american league)
i think the rangers would have a legit shot at getting to the series sure. I think without a doubt they would have made the playoffs, the NL is a joke, the stros beat out who....the phillies and the ex-expos???? haha... gimme a break...

now that you face a real team you see what happens...

haha wow. try actually making the playoffs before you talk trash dumb@ss.

i hate the stros, but i do admire their overachieving efforts.

anyway, its still a big thing to go from 15 games under .500, to wildcard, to in the series.

fighting texasd aggie.....


by that logic the padres could talk smack to the a's......talk about a dumb@$$......

just because u make the playoffs or in this case the WS doesnt make u the best team.....

actually it was more directed towards teams that talk trash about teams that are in the world series, when they couldnt even come close, and have never come close in their entire history. imagine if the cowboys were in the playoffs and they choked one game and texans fans made fun of them. it would be just as idiotic.

Oh my god. Just stop...

if the cowboys got crushed in the super bowl (like the stros are about to get swept) and in the same year the texans went 7-9 or 8-8 (haha fat chance anytime soon) but bc of a tough conference forced their record down a couple games to .500 or worse and they didnt make it....then i would fully expect smack from the entire AFC conference...

thats just how sports work..just because you made it a couple rounds further doesnt make you a better team...the entire NL is terrible and has been for quite a while

bullard....18-3

the astros must have been saying.....

Ranger fans would you please stop this kid while hes ahead. This is some classic stuff here.

The rangers are actually a better team, but didnt sniff the divison title. They didnt sniff the wild card. They didnt make it to an AlDS series much less win it. They didnt make it to the ALCS series much less win it. They didnt get into the world series but yet they are STILL a better team then the astros. Do you understand exactly what you are saying here?

bullard


please provide evidence as to how the NL is not terrible


the a's...who didnt even make the playoffs this year in the AL would have swept the stros

So with your logic, it would be ok if the Timberwolves talked trash to the Pistons the TWolves record would of been good enough to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference and the Pistons got beat in the finals, or for the Jaguars to talk about how much the Eagles sucked last year?

no....

bc the twolves < pistons just as the jags < eagles

it would be ok however for the colts to talk smack to the eagles even though the eagles advanced further bc the colts were the better team...just as the mavs or rockets could talk smack about the (you name the team other than the pistons or heat)

its all about who is the better team.....

lets face it the NL is horrible, how can you argue against this??????

ColleyvilleAg06- It is not like the ChiSox have dominated every game from the first pitch and drove the 'Stros off the field. Each game has been a very close competative game not decided until the late innings (or extra innings). The 'Stros have not simply rolled over and died. I agree that the AL has the overall better talent right now, especially in the way of All-Stars. Funny the ChiSox don't have alot of those big names.

but i would like to sum up all of my points with.....


brooms

The oakland A's that lost 2 of 3 to the atlanta braves, lost 2 of 3 to the new york mets, lost 2 of 3 to the phillies and swept by the san francisco giants?

Arent those NL teams?

which would make sense if you were a white sox fan.

i would like to sum up all of my points with...playoffs.

crap. rangers fans dont know what that word means.

bullard....correct me if i am wrong but havent the astros proved that october is a different month than june???

No what the astros have proved, that baseball is marathon not a sprint. You have to have a good team for an extended period of time, not just spurts of good baseball. Ask the rangers.

[This message has been edited by bullard21k (edited 10/26/2005 1:56a).]

how would you feel if a nets fan talked trash about making the playoffs??

you would look at them like they were an idiot...which is how i look at all of you.

I say this while fully knowing that you think i am stupid, but it is ok bc the team i am rooting for is about to sweep your team and while you go to bed PO'd i am going to stay up drinking thinking this is great.

bullard...

ya.....the astros were good enough to win the NL marathon....

i bet if i entered in the down syndrome special olympics though i could win whatever distance they were running


just as the a's would wail on whatever NL teams they played over the course of an entire season....thanks for making my point

With a 2 run loss, a 1 run loss, and an extra inning loss, the Astros are basically 1 run a game worse than the White Sox, being almost even. If you think the Rangers are better than the Astros, then you are saying they are basically even with the White Sox, who finished 20 games better than you in the AL and went 7-1 against teams that also finished above you?

How about we take the angels.
Lost 2 of 3 to the mets, marlins and braves and swept by the dodgers.

Losing 9 of 13 to nl teams? Huh

ColleyvilleAg06
are you stupid in general? or just in regards to baseball?


It's the one that says "bad motherf----r"

The rangers evny on this board has reached a new all time low. The simple fact that you are SERIOUSLY trying to argure that you think the rangers are a better team then somebody in the world series blows my mind.

And if you say something about the White Sox dominating the Astros since it's 3-0, do you really think that a team who would be 3-1 with scores similar to 5-0, 7-2, 3-4, 8-2 would be a better matchup just because they lucked into 1 victory?

honestly if you asked me i would say the sox got lucky to be where they are....i dont think they are the best team in baseball....you can twist tht to whatever make u sleep good at night and say the stros are better than the sox and they have gotten lucky if you want....i think the sox played a weak a** division in the regular season benefited tremendously and got hot at the right time while catching all the breaks.....i thought all year the angels were the best team in baseball and if they were to go up 2-0 going to anaheim (like they should have been the series would have been different) but yes....so far the stros have been barely worse than the 4th or 5th best AL team 3 GAMES IN A ROW.........congrats

dude how many stros fans have i PO in one thread....this is awesome...all you have to do is start a thread with "broom"

and as far as being the only idiot to believe this.....ESPN.com's power rankings had the rangers ranked higher than the astros from the 2nd week of april till the last week of the season (even when the rangers were eliminated and the stros were in 1st in the WC).....just something to chew on
