Well guys, we're 6 days away from the start of the fantasy playoffs. This last week can decide a lot in terms of seeding and who grabs the last few playoff spots. Here is where things stand right now:
1 Seed: WilltheThrill (already clinched the #1 seed and Round 1 Bye)
2 Seed: PDay...
Well, with my Rangers suffering through what can only be described as the worst season ever in terms of injuries and on-field performance, I have to find a team to kind of co-root for during the postseason (since my Rangers will either be on a golf course somewhere or in a hospital).
Your...
Just thought I'd start a thread for the World Cup since it's going to be the most talked about sporting event for the next few weeks.
My picks for group final standings are:
Group A
Brazil
Croatia
Mexico
Cameroon
Group B
Spain
Chile
Netherlands
Australia
Group C
Ivory Coast
Colombia
Greece...
I didn't see any real thread where this would belong, so I just started a new one. Anyway, I know the quality of our current and past broadcast teams has been debated on here before, so I just thought you all might like to see how a nationwide panel of media bloggers ranked the announcer duos...
Sign up here if you want to play in the fantasy baseball league this year. Also post if you have any draft date, league type, or host site preferences.
Per Jeff Passan: " The A's have acquired outfielder Craig Gentry from the Rangers in exchange for Michael Choice, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (on Twitter). The A's will also receive right-hander Josh Lindblom from the Rangers, tweets Passan. Minor league second baseman Chris...
Yankees signed McCann for 5 years, $85 Million with an option for a 6th year to take the contract to $100 Million. So with Ruiz and McCann off the market and a very unlikely reunion with Salty, it's looking more like Soto might in fact start the season as the primary starting C. I'm ok with...
From mlbtraderumors:
"The Rangers have reached agreement on a minor league deal with righty Colby Lewis, tweets Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. The deal includes a Spring Training invite.
Lewis had been a nice MLB comeback story before missing 2013 to have hip surgery. Now 34, Lewis...
From mlbtraderumors.com:
"The Rangers announced, via press release, that they have claimed right-hander Shawn Tolleson off waivers from the Dodgers.
Tolleson, who turns 26 in January, missed nearly all of the 2013 season after undergoing surgery in late April to repair a herniated disc in...
Over the last 4 seasons, our Texas Rangers have developed into the "one away" team. Think about it:
2010- One series away from winning it all
2011- One win away from winning it all. Twice.
One out away from winning it all. Twice.
One strike away from winning it all...
I am so glad that Oakland was eliminated tonight by the Tigers. If I had to hear one more story about how they were the feel-good magical team of destiny with the best fans in baseball I was going to puke. I'm still waiting for anyone to tell me what is so magical about a bunch of scrubs who...
Rangers fan here... Congrats on the win. What you saw tonight from our listless bunch was just more of the exact same lifeless, uninspired, careless play we as Rangers fans have witnessed over the last month or so. It's like they just hit a wall and all either forgot how to play or were too...
Just wanted to stop by and say congrats for your team being back in the playoffs. Your team is a great story this year and most certainly deserves to be back in the big dance. I have adopted the Orioles as my 2nd favorite AL team, especially considering the number of really nice guys they now...
Does anyone else find it at all slightly suspicious that Bartolo Colon was busted for steroid use after joining Oakland and putting up his best numbers in some time, and in the same year the vast majority of Oakland's lineup is destroying their career best HR numbers?
I'm not gonna come right...
Monday - Holland vs. Straily
Tuesday - Darvish vs. Milone
Wednesday - Perez vs. Parker
Thursday - Harrison vs. Blackley
On paper, I like the Rangers in 3 out of those 4 matchups (not Wednesday). Of course, we all just saw in Seattle how reliable paper matchups are in predicting results...
Cant stick around for the entire game tonight, but I figured I'd start the series thread halfway through game 1.
So far Holland is looking great. And MY needs to be tested for steroids. 3 HR in 4 games... keep it up!
Rangers purchased Mike Olt's contract today and he is reporting to the team tomorrow. To make room for the move, Brandon Snyder was optioned to the minors. Thoughts? Expectations?
