Series Thread: Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros in the 2023 ALCS October 15-23

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Yesterday afternoon, my BIL sent a couple of texts trying to analyze the Rangers (he does that a lot - not really a baseball fan but wants to sound like one) by talking about their inconsistency and blah blah blah… this was my response;

"Dude - here's the thing about this team... the mere fact that they are actually here for a Game 7 with a chance to go to the World Series is almost inconceivable when you look at the last 6 weeks of the season... or even the last week of the season. Everything that you see happening now is exactly what happened in those 6 weeks. And - here they are. I'm not trying to make any sense of any of this. I'm just enjoying the ride wherever it goes. And if it turns out the they are one of ‘those damn teams’ then I'll enjoy the fact that it's MY team and not another one."

Just enjoying the ride… and it’s not done.

Weak congrats via Ted Cruz. Congratulations to Dallas as Astros fan.
Will not recognize we are the TEXAS RANGERS

It is a mindblower how we turned the slump around and even the series against Seattle

Any word on Garver’s X-rays?

Did you all watch Seager's interview? Caught me off guard when they mentioned Garcia and Seager said, "He's a bad man." Got a chuckle out of that.

Hope he’s okay and can play in the WS. I don’t want Grossman playing and he will be the DH if Garver can’t

Man...

 

[gregrey972]

I’m rooting for Arizona tonight!

I saw a Houston fan on social media cheering on the Astros and once the Rangers won she said she had a issue with one player in particular on our team and I wanted to say compared to Altuve and Bregman he's an angel.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Man...

It was really plain to see and I felt bad for him. Hope he's able to help us repeat next year.

I sure am seeing a lot of fans of other teams congratulating the Rangers.

I heard someone call them Sadtronaunts.

I love it when guys on the other local teams get excited for the Rangers.

All of this sure has messed up our draft position next year, lol.
