Rangers/A's - The Final Battle for the West.

[Xx srs bsns xX]

we had the best record in the AL and were 29 games over .500 on the 23rd of September since that point we've gone 2-5. we wouldn't have been there if it had been as inefficient as you continuously claim it was.

Technically speaking, the Rangers were tied for the best record in the AL headed into tonight....

I'm seriously over this team. I'm not joking. They don't deserve the 100% attention I give them. I feel as though I have been duped and cheated.

 

[elziegreat42]

Didn't debate that, but you act like he pitched horribly and yes even #1's pitch poorly in the playoffs too on occasion

i never said he pitched poorly tonight. just not good enough. and yes, even #1"s pitch poorly, but not at the ratio harry does in these types of games. the good games by #1's out number the bad by a good margin, not the other way around.......

there was over a 2 month stretch that the rangers barely played .500, the only reason they even did that was because of their talent. with a legitimate "manager" the rangers separate themselves from the pack where it wouldnt have come down to tomorrow......because tonight is an L

Before Young got "hot" there was no reason for him to be playing every day, there were better options

Both of these.

Yes, and now that he needs other bats to be effective they're ice fucking cold. You all kept throwing their record in my face. Well guess what? The chickens have come home to roost and those games he cost us with shitty lineups and shitty game management when we were up 29 games over .500 look pretty god damned important now don't they?

Even if those crappy lineups cost us ONE game, seems like a big deal now doesn't it?

My point exactly.

 

[jta4437]

How many wins BELOW replacement level has Young played this year?

 

[WilltheThrill]

Really knocked the crap out of that one Ian. Well done.

 

[romeo212000]

Elvis has to get on and josh has to be a hero here.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Can we just clone Beltre and Napoli a bunch of times and swing for the fences every at-bat? Because that's about the only way we can score any runs anymore.

 

[1502tuley]

Elvis has to get on and josh has to be a hero here.

That migh have happened last year, but not this one.

i dont think the rangers have any of those these days.......just a bunch of guys going through the motions not showing emotion like they give a damn.

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck that team fuck evey single one of them.

 

[elziegreat42]

p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c!!!!!

 

[elziegreat42]

at least there are the cowboys to cheer for..........oh......wait.......nevermind

 

[elziegreat42]

go mavs!?!?

 

[WilltheThrill]

One single followed by 3 more of the softest grounders you will ever see.

The Rangers need to go out as a team after tonight's game (minus Josh) and just get sloppy drunk. Screw it all. They have lost all semblance of a competitive baseball team. Even the Astros would be competing better right about now.

I don't see how playing with a massive hangover tomorrow could make them play any worse.

I got nothing

 

[1502tuley]

I kind of feel sorry for Darvish. He left Japan, thinking he was coming to a quality team, and all he got was a front row seat to the epic failue of a once stellar team.

 

[elziegreat42]

I got nothing

that sounds like the entire rangers duggout
