Seems like the same confused individual to me. ha ha

What have you done to Nightcrawler?

I see no reason for worry here. The only thing I'm worried about is winning the division and getting the "reward" of playing the blue jays in the first round, if we somehow played them as a wild card I'd have a better outlook on it, but I've almost worried more about royals / Jay's games lately, because we have the division pretty much wrapped up still.

If things were to stay their present course to Sunday? I'd start to get slightly concerned, but I really think either the Rangers win today ( they were pressing and played like shit last night, hopefully the banny rooster has the team focused today), the Astros can score as many runs as they want, but they remain an abysmal road team and they have already used up their automatic win pitcher ( keuchel), and finally if the snakes have any pride whatsoever, they will be motivated to stick it to the Astros today and tomorrow after that embarrassing game last night.

Too many things have to break just right for the Rangers to NOT win the division and we definitely aren't going to see it play out.

Prince and Roogie need to pick it up. Both Roog and Delino are still young and make rookie mistakes. Hopefully a good sit down before the game will help. And please Colby have your slider working.

How'd your cookout go yesterday?

Kinda have a feeling that there will be quite a few runs scored today on both sides.

So what has to happen for the L.A. Angels to make the WC? Just beat the Rangers and they're in?

They need Houston to lose and beat Texas. If I recall they're a game behind the Astros.

 

[GeekSportsFan]

Yep, they are 1 behind the Stros.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

We could really use the "good slider" version of Colby today.

We have to put up runs on Santiago and take this game

 

[Nightcrawler]

I hope our offense isn't reverting to the home field first half version that routinely struggled at home to score any runs.

 

[Bmurph]

Good swing on that pitch by AB

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Alright Prince, you're up. Get it going!

 

[Bmurph]

Weaver and Santiago and Richards have had our number all year, gonna be tough

 

[Bmurph]

why are you off the bag that far AB?

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Wow, who is the blonde behind the plate?

 

[Bmurph]

more dumb baseball

 

[Bmurph]

Prince is struggling badly again, has little to no chance vs the LH Santiago today
