  1. We did kick a FG against OU with 1:17 left and most of this board lost its shit…
  2. If a vegan does CrossFit, how do they decide which one to not shut the fuck up about?
  3. He wanted to throw a pass on the conversion (it was a backward pass to the RB), but presumably the guy was covered. Had the ball on the ground on the onside too. Whatever; we just need to go 6-0 and play whoever shows up in Arlington….
  4. TD not the worst thing there for CF…they were probably going to be able to run the clock out….
  5. First and second, nobody out the last three half-innings. Our two, we got jack shit. Their one, they hit a fucking 3-run homer. Fuck…
  6. Good communication out there for Josh to let that ball get to Corey…
  7. So your analysis of the guy who led the league in hits and runs leads you to believe that the problem is that now he’s trying to ‘hit the shit out of the ball’? Instead of what, swinging slower?
  8. Would completely depend on what we had to give up. He’s in the last year of his deal so there’s no financial obligation beyond prorated salary for the remainder of this season. True that his best years are behind him, but his curve is way, way higher than Robert Woods’. He’s also always been known as a team leader and great locker room guy, which would only help Nico/Dell/Metchie/Hutchinson. If TB would do it for our extra 4th rounder or (ideally) a 5th plus a throw away pick on 2025 it’d be worth thinking about.
  9. Bullshit flare doesn’t kill you if you don’t walk the first two….
  10. Fuck man stop nibbling; have some confidence and throw fucking strikes….
  11. Garver’s hot pop but he’s a GIDP machine. Need locked-in Dane with the sinker working; if he could somehow get us to the 7th that would be fucking huge….
  12. Looks like we’re only rolling out the guys who haven’t pitched much/at all in the postseason. Don’t totally hate that up 2-0….
  13. As a Rangers fan I completely agree; dude is like 2001-era Barry Bonds without the 14 1/2 hat size…
  14. Back when I was a kid I was one of Jim Sundberg’s Junior Rangers (this was in the mid 70s). For like $20 you got a shirt, 2 free outfield tickets to like 5 games, and admission to Junior Rangers day. For the latter, all the kids would go down to old Arlington Stadium at like noon for a 7PM game. They’d take us down to the field and split into position groups where a player would run through some basic tips for about 15 minutes. After that they’d throw you two (and only two) pitches and you’d run the bases after your second pitch. That part took forever, so all of the parents had some time to kill waiting for their kid’s turn. My Dad was milling around during that time as Toby Harrah, the third baseman (my position) left the field. Dad, who idolized Ted Williams, told me he’d always wanted to ask Toby a question. His recollection of the conversation: ”Toby, I loved Ted Williams as a kid and he was the first manager you ever had in the majors. What was that like?” ”Well sir, early in spring training my rookie year I faced Bob Gibson and he made me look like an idiot. I came back to the dugout and there’s Ted, and he said ‘Son, if I were you I’d just hit that slider into the gap and take the double. He’s pretty good’. And I was thinkin’ ‘No shit motherfucker; if I could do that my goddamn wife wouldn’t be workin’ at fuckin’ Piggly Wiggly. I hated Ted.’” Toby Harrah was my Dad’s favorite Ranger until the day he (Dad) died….
  15. I think your evaluation of Jung’s arm is weak..
  16. It comes and goes; when we were on top and the Astros were losing 100+ a year Austin was absolutely a Rangers town…
  17. Lol how in the fuck are they gonna know if you walk back into a stadium?
