If it's a Cardinals/Rangers matchup in the WS I'm definitely not taking them lightly just because they squeeked in, they look pretty dangerous in the playoff games I've seen.
He is still far from polished. A converted catcher and yes, he has absolutely filthy stuff. In fact, their entire bullpen excepting Rhodes have unbelievable talent. Right up there with the Rangers in my opinion. Underachieving team of the year. That is a 100 win team that barely made the playoffs and only won 90.
Man you just can't get away from Rhodes can you Ginger?
that's why both teams are where they are because they're tough
The folks over at angelswin are admitting how awesome we are, it's pretty funny. Still whining about Napoli, and still claiming that the Rangers had no fans before last year.
Well like with any team that starts to win I'm sure the bandwagon is starting to fill up, but we know where we've been for years. Right here baby!
Unfortunately you only build up a fanbase through success over time. The Rangers haven't had the history that the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Cardinals etc.. have. You have to start somewhere. I am okay with people jumping on the bandwagon as long as they aren't pretending they have been lifers when they get there.

And switching gears, does anyone hope for a Cabrera plunking tomorrow if we are up? IT has been a fun and clean series, but he was obviously going for Naps head/face on the play at home, no care in the world for the plate. He only wanted to forearm shiver Nap. he knew he was dead in the water, so went to hurt our guy.
Now I like this series and the Detroit players. I don't like that fat tub trying to hurt our guys. Yeah yeah, it is part of the game. I'd reply that so is retribution from your pitcher the next day, that is also part of the game. Up by a few runs, late in a game, wanting to put Cabrera on anyways, so just put a changeup off his massive butt cheek.

Yep, I remember several fans showing up on the ESPN board mid way through last year.
all i want is the win. don't cheapen it by head-hunting or butt-hunting. winning it at their park is a bigger slap in the face than any plunk
Agree. No reason to give the opposition any reason to center on something to rally them. You play your standard game ... make your plays ... don't dis the opposition in your on field celebration ... say nice things in the postgame interviews ... and move on as if it were expected. TEX is after all the reigning AL Champions.
