Maybe the American Leugue version of the Atlanta Braves. Except the Braves actually won a championship eventually.
sons the Rangers have a good enough roster to compete for a few more years and now with back to back World Series losses the question must be asked... do you think they could become the Buffalo Bills of Major League Baseball? Good enough to get there for a few years, but never good enough to finish the job.

son the Braves choked many times, but they aren't in the same category since they did actually finish the job once so it gets overlooked. The Texas Rangers and Buffalo Bills are minutes away from being in the same category.
It's possible.
This Ranger's team as is constructed will never recover from this loss. The only chance this team ever has of getting back is if they start over with a different cast of players. The pain of having been so close (not once but twice) will be haunting and hard to over come for this group star-crossed ball players.
Yep. When you have a team that goes to the Fall Classic 2 years in a row -- the 2nd year, taking it to 7 games against a storied NL powerhouse -- the obvious move is to blow the whole thing up.
90-72, just like the Red Sox
Does it make worse or better that the Rangers have lost to ty fluke teams in the World Series? The Braves got beat by great teams in the World Series in the 1990s.
This is true as well!
There's no such thing as a "fluke" World Series winner. It takes 4 wins and they have to beat a lot of good teams to get there.
It's funny, the Spurs had the best record in the West and Dallas wins the Finals. No one called Dallas a "fluke Finals team" based on regular season performance. Instead, people called the Spurs' season a "fluke" because of the cir stances surrounding the record (injured teams, no defense, etc...)
The standards, they do change.
If you combine Dallas's NBA and MLB, they = BUffalo Bills of the NFL.
No, they aren't. They would have to go back to the World Series 2 more times and lose, but that isn't happening. This will be the last World Series they play in for a long long time.
Plenty of people thought Dallas was winning the le. The Cards didnt even get into the playoffs until the last game of the in season.
The Giants last year were definitely not a fluke team, i don't care what their regular season record was. Their pitching was as good it gets with a scrappy offense who got the job done. They were clearly better than the Rangers
The Cards this year we should've beat but like DMC said any team that gets to the World Series is gonna be legit
Arent fluke teams usually teams that haven't made the playoffs in a while and have a great successful season that no one expected but then crap out the following season? The Marlins are the definition of a fluke team. The 2006 Cardinals were a fluke team.
tbh i also always found it funny that people said "nobody will remember those Buffalo Bills teams because they didn't finish the job" when in fact they are one of the most famous teams ever for their "feat"
Nobody ever talks about the Giants or Redskins and they only talk about Dallas because they were a dynasty
wtf!??tbh i also always found it funny that people said "nobody will remember those buffalo bills teams because they didn't finish the job" when in fact they are one of the most famous teams ever for their "feat"
nobody ever talks about the Giants or Redskins and they only talk about dallas because they were a dynasty
I said this after Game 1
BRHornet just looting someone else's schtick, per par etc
This. It also helped that all the unused "buffalo bills world champions" clothing and merch gets sent down to central and south america, so we have legions of b.eaner bills fans who remember those teams too.
