The quest to be swept in the first round.
I would love to see the Rangers get swept in the first round than not make it at all.
rangers arent making the playoffs this year, but if they can get some pitching they are going to be a force really soon.
well maybe for the wild card, the halos are just ridiculous.
just out of curiousity i remember them losing in the pos to the yanks, was that their last postseason trip?
The one game they won in that series is the only postseason game they have won in their history.
True. The Rangers are 1-9 all-time in the playoffs. They won their first-ever playoff game and then got the backdoor sweep. The next two times they got swept as well, all at the hands of the mother ing Yankees. That's why I hate them so much.
But, that will all soon change. One or two innings eaters who can stay fricken healthy (nine pitchers on the DL is ridiculous!) and they will contend. These big contracts like Gary Matthews Jr and Torii Hunter will be handcuffing the Angels just as the Rangers are making their moves. Seattle looks to be beat for awhile because their farm is pretty ty and Oakland - well, you should never really count them out, I guess. But things look good with a deep farm and many promising young players for quite some time.
Damn watching Voloquez up the Astros makes me wonder how good the Rangers would be if the reds would have somehow asked for someone else for Hamilton.
Im still not a Rangers fan...But love the middle infield (represent Ian Kinsler), and you cant help but like The great Hambino!
pitching.
If they would just get pitchers they would be fine.
Rangers wont make the playoffs but their play has been refreshing...sign CC or Sheets in the offseason no matter what it cost. You have to overpay for pithching and Hicks has the cash available and the payroll is so low
As long as it's not by the Yankees, it'd be progress...
Sheets is overrated.
Sabathia is going to the Yankees.
Ugh. I am sooo tired of hearing that every big name free agent is going to the Yankees. the Yankees!
overrated? maybe injury prone...guy is a strikeout pitcher who doesnt walk many. his career ERA is 3.76 and WHIP of 1.21 and a batting avg against of .257. Those stats are pretty damn good to me. I'd take that over anything the Rangers got pitching wise
Its a pretty safe bet.
Trust me. Overrated. I've watched the guy for years against the Cardinals, and hes 10 pounds of in a 5 pound bag.
Do NOT spend big money on Ben Sheets.
nights like tonight give me hope.
They still gave up 8 runs. They're giving up 7 or 8 pretty much every game Padilla doesnt pitch now. I know they have the offensive studs to bang out runs, but that's a lot to ask night in and out.
They are the most exciting team to watch in baseball, though. Lots of runs both ways, lots of HR, outfield assists, likeable characters, a closer with Mitch Williams make dramatic tendencies...
I like how they are giving all these young pitching prospects chances and are still staying in the race. Baptism in fire boys!!!
Big 4 games series vs the Yanks starts tommorow. and then Boston a week later. time to step it up.
I hate the AL but I'm pulling for the Rangers to get the wild card slot. That means they push the Yanks out of the playoffs and I HATE the ing Yankees.
The DH rule ruined baseball.
come on rangers, play good for the next 4 games
