Rangers

Man, Game 1. That was a feast of baseball awesomeness. Diekman was lights-out. Took the mound in mid-postseason form and completely shut the Blue Jays down. Absolutely killed them. And then, the interesting call to put Dyson in as a groundball guy to neutralize the Jays sluggers paid of huge.

What a win. Now we have Cole Freaking Hamels going for us and David Price is now 0-4 against the Rangers in the playoffs. This is fun.

And those 25 ESPN guys that picked Toronto can suck it.

Great win but baseball is a funny game because we may win today against Price but Toronto can come out tomorrow and beat our ace in Hamels. I am glad we did get at least one win in a raucous Skydome. And Roogie is such a little punk badass.

Just getting one game in Toronto was key. But Hamels on the mound tomorrow does give us a great chance to go home leading 2-0. You wouldn't hear any complaints from me!

GO RANGERS

I always get a good feeling when literally none of the "analyst" pick us to win a series. Didn't see how everyone was so confident when it's a best of 5 series, seems ridiculous to me to predict it with that much certainty. This is the #2 vs. the #3 and WC beating the #1 happens almost every year. Let's keep it rolling.

Jeff Banister says Beltre is feeling better today, but not good enough for 9 innings. He's out of the lineup.

The bright side is that the 8-9 hitters accounted for 4 of the 5 runs yesterday!

CMJ · October 9, 2015

Crazy first couple of innings. Things settling in now.

Ugh. Bob Costas is such a whip to listen to though.

Green Mean · October 9, 2015

It's such a beat down watching Hamilton up to bat.

Green Mean · October 9, 2015

Holy crap what an epic effing game.

greenminer · October 10, 2015

wow

Holy crap what an epic effing game.

I kept thinking.... I've seen this game before: game 6, 2011 WS. Except instead of a 2-run bomb by Josh, it was smallball that got the 2-run lead. Glad there was no Feliz to blow the lead.

Matt from A700 · October 11, 2015

Now today at 7 we have a chance to advance to the ALCS. This is the 30th time a team has won the first two DS games on the road. 27 times, that team has won the series, including Texas vs. Tampa in 2010. Although in that series, it took us five games to win. Let's close this series out tonight!

Hard to believe the original post for this thread was doom and gloom.

Created this at work. Just basic Word document and added pictures. Manually Xing out the wins. Will replace ALCS with either KC or Houston emblem. If anyone wants a copy of this send me an email to gregoryksmith@msn.com and I will email it to you. Put your own Xs on there.

Stros give up 4 runs in the 8th allowing KC to tie and Rangers blowing it in the 1st...3-0 Jays.

Gonna throw up if these two teams don't take care of business.

This is the inning from hell... 10 Royals batters so far.

CMJ · October 12, 2015

That was championship heart from the Royals.

Green Mean · October 12, 2015

So umm the Astros really really shit the bed. I'd probably rather get blown out in the first inning and move on to the next game than what happened to Houston. I know the pain Stros fans, Rangers fans have been the worst of worst.

FirefightnRick · October 12, 2015

That was championship heart from the Royals.

Looked like Derek Holland Championship style pitching to me.

I mean, the Royals did this last year to the A's in the playoffs too. That squad just has a ton of heart.

If the Astros can clear their heads, i still think they have a nice shot in Game 5, but that was seriously a shattering experience.

ColoradoEagle · October 12, 2015

Rangers are looking done for. 8-1 Toronto in the 7th. Their bats have gone cold. They better find Jesus before game 5.

FirefightnRick · October 12, 2015

Maybe I should ask Santa for a sports lobotomy?

Speaking of heart....

Heart is.......after setting the MLB record for players used in a single season due to injury and carrying the worst record In the league...then follow that up by losing three of your 5 starting pitchers by the second day of the following season...then coming back from 8/9 games out of first place that August to win the division of said season.

I can't believe any of this.

H-towngreen · October 14, 2015

I was so butt hurt and just depressed about the Rangers that I've only watched them from a safe distance. A life long die hard fan. And this was the first game I've watched from opening pitch. For some reason this one is tougher to take than the World Series loss.
