[Millennial_Messiah]

STRUCK PHAM OUT!!! WOW

[Mark Celibate]

The Bot's son tbh

[Robz4000]

No chance the three scrubs the next inning are gonna do anything so gonna have to be a 1-0 win...just hope AZ keeps shooting themselves in the foot

AZ definitely gets one in the bottom of the 9th imo. Need to pray one of them channels their inner Adolis.

[MultiTroll]

Beauty curve.
8 complete.

[Millennial_Messiah]

CLUTCH JOSH SBORZ LMFG!!!!!!!!!!

[Mark Celibate]

f*ck, I forgot Jung was batting too tbh...just seemed like everybody after Garver has sh!t the bed this whole game I forgot the order

[Robz4000]

Jung starting off on the right foot.

[Robz4000]

HOLY SH!T!!

[Robz4000]

HEIM!!!!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Seager 1,000,000%. He misses on 2 swings and it's a much different series

[MultiTroll]

Welp, it wasn't Bill Buckner but.....

Congratulations Rangers!

I did a 50% live bet on Tex.

Any of you got skin in this?

Got home late, missed by 1 literal minute.
Was gonna go hard on the Unders for 5 innings. Fark!

[Millennial_Messiah]

HEIM!!!!

HOLY SHIT 2 RBI TRIPLE FOR THE FUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow

[Mark Celibate]

Jesus Christ, Taveras couldn't hit the ball off a f*cking tee right now

[Robz4000]

Semien!!!!!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Yup. Forgot it factors in the WS only not the entire postseason.

[Millennial_Messiah]

HOLY SHIT SEMIEN!!!!!!!!!!! MOON BALL 2 RUN HOMER LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Monostradamus]

Rangers will choke just like I called it in 2011. I swear on my life more than I ever did my Heat that Texas will NOT win tonight nor this series. Dbacks in 7!


:lol Rangers and their fans are about to get their hearts broken. I can’t wait to see this chokejob meltdown.

:lmao FAGGOT

Still think it would be Seager for the whole postseason...he got the Barry Bonds treatment in the Orioles series. Nobody else was consistent enough and Garcia went all out OOGA BOOGA for three huge games, but didn't do much otherwise

[Millennial_Messiah]

3. OUTS. LEFT.

[td4mvp2k]

unbelievable :hungry:

[Monostradamus]

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/12/aVOSkIC.gif
We did it homie!

[Millennial_Messiah]

THREE OUTS LEFT

[MultiTroll]

Would 5 runs be the greatest 9 inning + comeback in MLB history?

[Millennial_Messiah]

At this point just throw strikes. Don't walk anyone.

[daboom1]

We did it homie!

:tu cheers

[Monostradamus]

THREE OUTS LEFT
Despite your best efforts, the Rangers didn’t fall victim to the Andy Curse.

I take back every bad thing I ever said about you. I wanna be inside you, bro!

[Millennial_Messiah]

TWO OUTS LEFT

[Mark Celibate]

:lol f*ggot announcer trying to jinx it

[Millennial_Messiah]

ONE OUT LEFT!!!!!!

[Mark Celibate]

I'd trade the Cowboys resigning The Bot to a 50 yr contract , going 8-8, and / or tripping over their own dick in the Wild Card/Divisional Round the next half decade for just one of these tbh

Yes, I'm pretty satisfied with sports for at least a couple years now. :toast :toast :toast

:danceclub

Whatever Dak does or doesn't do won't break my heart honestly.

Although, considering what happened with the 2011 Rangers after the 2011 Mavs championship, it's true DFW sports logic that the Cowboys would lose the Super Bowl this coming year on an epic Atlanta Falcons-level chokejob imo.

Yup, like Nelson Cruz 20 yards too shallow to have a chance at Freese's 2 RBI triple that should have been the third out, and that bizarre zone defense Ron Washington had out there FML...

[Millennial_Messiah]

Dodgers

Welp, I can't say i like the Dodgers or any of the LA sports teams quite frankly, though i'm neutral about the Rams I guess and I don't consider the Chargers an LA team because they're from San Diego. But thank you, regardless. It's appreciated.

Are you even from CA/LA?? Or you just picked them up for the heck of it. You're the one who seems to complain with me most about the hot Texas weather in the summer, so I'm curious

[midnightpulp]

Congrats to all the Rangers fans! The curse has been exorcised!

Followed the Dodgers because the Missions were a Dodgers farm team for a long time so I got to see guys like Pedro Martinez and Mike Piazza as minor leaguers plus got to watch a couple innings of a game with Sandy Koufax at VJ Keefe field one time when I was a kid and that was a thrill getting to meet a legend like that. Then it was awesome going to Dodger games when I lived in LA for years. Not a hardcore fan who bleeds Dodger colors like mid though like I am with the Spurs. Anyways, congrats man. Gotta feel amazing to avenge 2011. Especially taking down the fucking Astros in their park in Game 7 along the way.

Hopefully Ohtani looms for us. But we also need starting pitching and speed on the bases.

I get it.

Dodgers won in Arlington in '20, so at least you guys got a championship recently, asterisk or not.

At least there were SOME fans... so it actually counts as canonical to me, much more than say, what the LeBeta Lakers "won" in 2020 which felt like mickey mouse in every sense of the term.

Ohtani is a chess piece, but I feel like his kind would have been truly phenomenal on an NL team with the old NL rules.

Sweet victory. Happy for my city. This year's Rangers were basically the opposite of the heartbreaking choke artists fans expected after so many years. They were clutch, resilient and dominant. One of the most convincing postseason runs in any sport in history.

You're a grand bunch, never to be forgotten that's for darn sure. Up, down, fussin' & fightin' and on this night it's all right there before ya's. I'll stand witness, makes me so happy to see ya's like this.

[Millennial_Messiah]

God damn, 2011 is a distant memory now.

I still liked that team outside of the chokey pitching. Liked Josh Hamilton, Napoli, Beltre, etc. Nelson Cruz was ok. The 9th inning zone defense was so mind numbingly stupid, that was a glove-ball all the way from Freese and it was more on Washington than Cruz.

This team wasn't perfect this year either, but they were ultra resilient in the face of so many injuries... bad second half of the season, no home field advantage, perfect road record in the playoffs.

We gone one, Rob!

I thought you may have caused a harbinger with you dour bent earlier. But it all turned out 100%.

And your Spurs did it to the Suns just like the old days the other night. I had to laugh aloud here at the house.

Makes one think back to Duncan, Gino and the gang. Grand times. Never to be equaled. It's right there in the mind's eye, forever. Cannot be taken from ya's. It's safe within each us.

...he obviously worked on his game instead of just concentrating on his millions. They've lamented him here something fearsome, demanding that the Backs just preemptively walk him each at bat.

Heart says Rangers in 5.

Brain says this is the most wildly streaky team I’ve ever seen, and there is literally no outcome that would surprise me. Rangers could sweep, or they could get swept, and neither would be shocking.
Heart was right on this one :)

And the Dodgers with their drag queen nuns got swept by the other team in the WS the Dbacks.

Few thoughts

- Unfortunately a surprisingly lackluster postseason. A few even handful of moments but for reasons yet unknown most series were over quick. 2-LCS Game7s was saving grace

- Thus its nice to have a newcomer to the club at the very end. I grew up seeing the 90s Arlington Rangers as cannon fodder to those great Yankee teams. Juan G, Pudge and Will Clark. Always short on pitching.

Then the franchise picked up steam in the 2000s along with the rest of the AL West.

Losing multiple WS before you finally break thru is my modern Braves journey too. Hell of a lot easier doing it the other way around like Diamondbacks. Blowing Championship series lingers and wears on future teams.


Lasting memory of this Rangers team for me - the long losing streak in August and overall lastluster record near the end of the season, resulting in having the Division stolen. We saw how the Mets responded in 2022 under similiar circumstances. Yet what happened to the Rangers - resilience. In MLB especially, teams lukewarm in the 2nd Half and blowing a Division title very very rarely rally like this. Rangers extremely strong 1st Half proved they weren't a fluke. Cheers to the new World Series champion in the club. :bobo:bang

That's the most impressive out of all of this. Just two months ago, we were talking about how the Rangers were undergoing a historic collapse in August/September where they fell all the way down to third place in the AL West after having a big lead all season. I remember making a comment that there had to have been some internal locker room drama like a teammate being cucked, because it made zero sense that literally everybody sh1t the bed at the same time for almost a month. Any other team would just pack it up and just use this season as a moral victory "Oh well atleast we improved from 2022".

But then to sneak in two weeks later and go 11-0 on the road to a World Series victory has to be one of the greatest coaching achievements in baseball history.

Agreed. Degrom injured and Max almost too. Rangers pen was good but not elite. The defense quality was surprise.

Garcia going out and Tex continuing to win was another surprise.

Until the players duplicate with a 95+ win season, credit seems to fall heavily on Bochy.


I'm old fashioned. Having a bomb ass SS/2B duo that like each other carries the lockeroom. They are so involved in everyother play. Astros, Braves and Phillies have the same.
