Series Thread: AL West will be decided this weekend

I wasn't thinking it. He can play here as long as he wants.

Banny is one positive Rooster and I like it

I say he can play 3rd a couple more years and then move to 1B for a few and then DH only, for a few and he could play 10 more years!


Well maybe not, but I will take him as long as he can still play ball

 

[DT LUNA]

What could be better than winning the division by beating the hated Angels

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That Beltre hit...man, people were even thinking about trading him this year.

Not sure about the trading part but it was understandable people being upset with him for much of the year because we was not playing good baseball. But that is in the past. The guy is on fire and fans will always be fickle even us fans on this site.

The players like it too, it appears

The Rangers were 55-57 when they lost 11-1 at Minnesota August 12th. They are 32-15 since.

Root for the twins the next few days for several reasons: I'd rather see an AL central team get the last wild card over one of the two AL West teams vying for it and lots of baseball experts are picking the blue jays to win the whole thing. Would be nice to avoid them in round one, make it to round two, and hope someone else gets lucky against them.

Anyone not named the Angels is fine by me. But Minnesota does play KC in the last 3 games of the year and I would much rather play KC in the 1st round instead of Toronto.

If Texas can win two they can party at home.

Halfway there!!! Stomp these bums.

 

[Kelleyman]

Halfway to next step. You never know. This could finally be our year. Some breaks have gone our way

 

[Bmurph]

This never gets old! Love it!

WON THIS AUCTION AND THE RYAN RUA AUCTION AS WELL

Didn't think my bid would hold up on Fielder so I had a backup plan and it bit me.

I had to come home and watch the highlights and especially the Elvis play off of the deflection. What a game!

Been watching the replays myself, you think those guys want this division title or what? Those guys were playing their tails off tonight

 

[saddles]

Funny.


Then this one as well.

Thought there was an outside chance at the WC, but sure never thought they would sniff the division. Baseball is a long long season and a crazy game where strange things happen, often.

Hamilton in 2012 drops a can of corn and has every excuse under the sun for his bad play...Hamilton in 2015 sells out to keep the division alive and make one of the most important catches in Ranger's history.

Good observation. That catch was huge last night. Could have led to a much bigger inning.
