[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol what retarded revisionist history this is. Because everyone knew Pujols would go from being the best hitter in the game to a sub .200 hitter

:lol You don't give a 32 year old (rumored to be 35) who has been declining a 10 year deal. If it were a 5-6 year deal, that is one thing, but not a 10 year deal. That deal was retarded from the start.

:lol Another Rangers fan defending the Angels
:lol Thinking the Pujols deal was ever a good one
:lol Axe

That's hilarious. I bet it's lots of laughs in that dugout. I need to post a video of when someone cut cheese and made everyone move to the other side of the dugout :lol

Winning a WS = declining?

IIRC, the thinking was that if he could deliver a WS or two within the first 5, the second 5 would be worth it.

[SanAntonioHeat]

it was all marketing...noone thought he was going to be this bad.

[Texas Chili Dog]

yeah I'd make a gif of it if I could. But anyone with mlb tv can look at the vid. It's at around the :33 mark of the archived game. :lol

[Fabbs]

It's what you wanted to hear MultiRanger.
Seeing Hamilton as you down Bubba Beers for years to come.

[Pelicans78]

Oh yeah. Royals win 3-1. The goal was to split this series. Mission accomplished.

[William Hung]

Like I said earlier in the year Bruce Chen isn't f'ing around

[lefty]

lol baseball

[Texas Chili Dog]

damnit Colby :bang

[Goran Dragic]

Just. Hand. You Guys. The. Title.

J.H.Y.T.T. :lol

[Texas Chili Dog]

Are you fucking kidding me Colby? Pitchers can throw home easily. But they can't throw to the other bases worth a shit. 4 unearned runs because Colby can't throw to second base. :bang

and now a 5th because he can't throw to first base. :bang

[Texas Chili Dog]

Well this game is a lost cause. At least one good thing came from it: learning that Hamilton is now on twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/thejoshhamilton

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'm glad there was a Spurs game on.

[Spursfan092120]

So I was talking to a guy at my church today who happens to be a scout for the Rangers. He had on his 2011 ALCS Championship ring. The kid in me took over and asked if I could try it on. He was cool with it....it was the shit...

[Texas Chili Dog]

Feliz to the DL. Well that sucks.

[Fpoonsie]

Adams looked fantastic last night. Almost single-handedly won tha game for TX.

REALLY hope Nap gets outta his funk soon.

[Axe Murderer]

'poon getting his early season fandom on, not waiting til September goods par the unusual etc

[Fpoonsie]

:lol

I figure if I keep making half-informed analyses earlier and earlier on each year, eventually, people will forget I'm bandwagon'n like a MOTHERfuck.

[Axe Murderer]

Blue Jays coming into town, hopefully we atleast keep it competitive

Kaime's just BEGGING for a money shot in the eye.

[MavDynasty]

3 straight homers :lmao

[DeadlyDynasty]

Not even 50 games into the season and Hamilton already has the MVP on lock

[Axe Murderer]

'exas Rang, with the rare beating the Blue Jays goods per the unusual

[Fabbs]

It just feels like you Texas Bubbas are ready for a fall.
Oh maybe not right now, but seems like every time you are ready to seize best team in baseball you put on your choke hats.

I feel it coming.

Pujols heatin up too.
Scocia gets fired and you wont even win the West.

celebrating outdoing Multiscioscia is a hollow victory.

Eliminating Skunkee is something Ranger has taken up the torch on. :toast

[Spursfan092120]

Nope but we won our series against a better team. What was the score for you guys?

Funny thing..in the end of the season, final scores don't matter...just where you stand on wins and losses....Our 13 run loss and your 1 run loss mean exactly the same. Ours will probably actually end up better, as the Rangers getting their asses kicked will probably wake them up, while your 1 run loss won't do the same.

Now Holland is on the DL. Ogando to the rotation and Scheppers was called up for bullpen duty.

ugh

we have to play the Dodgers so hush!

[Fabbs]

Is Hamilton off steroids or what's up?

[Texas Chili Dog]

Colby can be pretty damn good when he wants to be. He doesn't fuck around ever. He always works fast and sticks to his guns even on an off night. But when he's having a good night, he can easily go 9 innings with a low pitch count.

[dallaskd]

moreland has more all star votes than pujols :lol

[Amarelooms]

Feldman needs to be cut....his starts are an automatic loss. Just call up someone else or make a trade but he sucks

:elephant

[dallaskd]

Feldman has the ugliest stats i have ever seen

[Chris]

I came in to bash Feldman but you guys beat me to it :lol
Unfortunately Feldman is grossly overpaid so trading him won't be easy

[Fpoonsie]

My GOD, Feldman sucks.

Oswalt can't get here soon enough...uh...I guess.

[ducks]

you can have saunders for your third baseman

[Fabbs]

Japanese guy is proving to be a huge difference maker for Hank Hills.

[MavDynasty]

Colby been dealing as of late, prob coulda had a complete game today as well. He's in playoff form and it's good to see him bounce back from a down year last year. Hopefully he keeps playing well. Scheppers and kirkman looked like shit tho..

At first it was funny, but then you never know what might have happened. He is going to miss the last two games of the Padres series. And Steve Busby will take his place. I like Busby for mid game interviews and such, but not for PBP.

I knew Regular Season MultiRanger was fully capable of coming back/Twins were yet another crappy opponent who may well choke off a late lead to them.

It really sucks still that they lost Lewis and Feliz. I really thought Feliz showed some great stuff and would hopefully by next year be an absolute machine. This just slowed that whole process down by a good season, maybe longer. And Lewis of course is the calming factor for the playoffs.

Dempster I think will end up being fine, but Oswalt needs to get his crap together, because the Rangers will need him at some point in the playoffs. I'm confident he won't be starting by then, but there is going to be a game or two that a starter melts down, and he is going to have to be ready to come in and pitch a good 3-4 innings of shutout baseball.

Oswalt is actually starting tonight in place of an injured Darvish, so this is his chance to prove something to this pitching staff. I think Feldman is going to be our emergency button if a starter goes out there and struggles, but Oswalt will be ready I think. You're right about Lewis though, he's been lights out in the playoffs in seasons past. He will definitely be missed.

Make it 8 runs now. Seriously, replacing Dempster with Scheppers? And then Lowe? Epic fail Wash....:td

[Jacob1983]

"OH SHIT" with the goods tonight. He saved the Rangers tonight with his 2-run homer. Nathan got it done in the 9th.

Young, Murphy, and Napoli in the 9th..I smell a win.

[Spursfan092120]

Fuck me...3 up 3 down that quick in the bottom of the 9th? Come on, guys.

[Reck]

This As team is fucking solid.

Its never an easy win. They make you work for it. It seems like they always take you to extra innings.

I believe, including tonight that makes 3 extra innings in 5 games.

[Spursfan092120]

Yeah..I know. They're good. I just can't see them beating the Rangers in a series. The Rangers are too talented

[Fpoonsie]

Somebody needs to murder Feldman.

[Chawaman]

Feldmans not bad just as long as he's the relief pitcher. It's Lowe who I want gone

[crc21209]

Horrible start. Martin Perez doesnt even last an inning, giving up 5 runs in the 1st. Hamilton committed an error that led to 2 runs and then let a ball sail over his head that scored another run..

[Chawaman]

Now we'll get to see if Oswalt can carry some of his magic from last night.
Hopefully beltre becomes a hero again tonight.

[Chawaman]

We need a pitcher than can give multiple innings. Sadly, Lewis is gone.

[Chawaman]

Gonna be another night like last week against the angels. They've got Wilmer Font warming up.

[crc21209]

This blows. I'm not sure what to think of their chances in the post-season with this pitching....

[Chawaman]

Im honestly surprised we get far with this pitching. Its a bit upsetting that Rangers cant get a single ace. Harrison's not bad but he cant close when it matters. Had two chances to pitch a complete game and ended up giving into pressure.
Im not sure how dempster is going to fare in the playoffs.
Darvish is the X factor.

[crc21209]

Whats weird is that I feel a bit better about the pitching staff this year than last year. Last year the "ace" was Wilson, who was a playoff choker. But Lewis and Holland stepped up big in the World Series. I'm excited to see how Darvish does, hopefully better than Wilson did. I think Harrison and Dempster can give them just enough to get by. Holland is another one that I'm curious to see if he can rediscover that post-season magic from last year...

[Chawaman]

Yeah, an added plus is our relief/bullpen got more solid. Our 3-5 hitters are in a slump. Honestly no team scares me in the playoffs, only the NL teams lol. Only threat possibly is yankees imho.
Post season starters- Harrison Dempster Darvish Holland, any chance Oswalt gets a spot? depending on match ups?

[crc21209]

I just don't like Oswalt starting at all. Out of the bullpen I'm fine with him but something about him starting I just don't like it. It's like he can't handle pressure very well.

[crc21209]

Geez what a shit fucking pitching performance tonight so far....:td

[TheMACHINE]

so frickin obvious that Rangers dont want to face the Angels in the playoffs. Obvious tank job is obvious.

[Chawaman]

Scheppers coming in, Im guessing tateyama is going to come in tonight as well.
Oswalt at this point i would rather him just be the long reliever just like feldman. he did very well in that last year.

[Chawaman]

I wish it was a tank job. This was just a poor outing in the first inning. and its started since Hollands start :(

[Chris]

so frickin obvious that Rangers dont want to face the Angels in the playoffs. Obvious tank job is obvious.

Pretty much what I was thinking. If I had to choose I would definitely want the A's. Also, they are simultaneously giving the Athletics false hope going into the playoffs :lol

[crc21209]

Well tomorrow is somewhat of a must win IMO....

[crc21209]

Tomorrow is definitely a must win. I'm pretty sure they don't wanna lose tomorrow, have their lead cut to 2 games in the division, and then play against Weaver on Friday with a possibility of the lead going down to 1 game...

Those are nice stats but you're cherry picking quality starts. Weaver gets knocked around just like every other pitcher. The problem with Jered, is that he wears his emotions on his sleeve, so as soon as their is a bad call, or he gives up a few runs early, it goes downhill quickly.
