Gallo is coming into his own. HR's opposite field and walks. Nice

Nice to see Gallo with the rare ( for him) RBI that doesn't come on a home run.

and another

This team almost looks like a different team sometimes.

The Angels and this Astros series..... these guys played like a team hungry for the wild card

The A's series? I don't even know. It seemed like they fell into a black hole for 3 days. I still can't explain it. They got whooped really good.

Baseball can't be explained.

If little Nicky can pitch like he did in Oakland, we might sweep with the way this team is hitting.

Someone should've told that idiot Reid Ryan that the Rangers don't seem to mind playing at the trop.

:dhd:

So my house in Baytown did not flood. We had little bit of a roof leak, but all my family in the area didn't flood either.

Re: Reid Ryan's comments. He can go fuck himself for making this bigger than it should have ever been. Asking the Rangers to take a financial hit because a natural disaster hit Houston makes no sense on any level. The people angry over it are looking for a scapegoat for all of their frustration and despair over the hurricane and flooding of the Houston area. That is a weak excuse for the whining and behavior I've read from Houston fans the past few days.

I have not been that invested in the season due to lots of reasons, but now I am hoping we climb back in and win this WC just to piss some people off in October.

Also @saddles Cashner very much so > Holland for 2017. I wouldn't put money on Cashner repeating these result going forward with those peripherals though.

Let's take the wild card and go right at those asshole Astros. Judging by his actions, Reid Ryan doesn't like the thought of the Rangers coming down to Houston for the divisional series. I think we could give them a fight. You guys said I was crazy earlier in the season, but we're 7-8 against the Astros and I think we can hang with them.

Glad that you are safe. Yes, Cashner has been much, much better than Derek.

I think a lot of the reason we have been able to beat them as of late is because they have the division sewn up. Then there is the distraction factor for them this week. Earlier in the year when they had more to play for and they weren't distracted they handled us pretty well.
