My kid was born and I looked up to see Adolis rounding the bases on the TV in the room.  That's a good night

Haven’t been this excited to pick up the Dallas Morning News in a long time. Add it to the collection. The last titles my teams have won.

Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

It did in Houston
And the beautiful thing is the Mavs sit alone in first.


Looks like Heim and Carter made errors against Tampa, Seager made one against Baltimore, Jung and Semien made errors against Houston. We were clean in the World Series, though.
Leody's misplay should have been an error. I can't believe they didn't give him one there.

So I turned off the Ring camera and quietly drove to the corner store to buy a 6-pack after the victory. Didn't wanna wake up the wife. Car pulls up behind me at the store. It's my brother in law who lives in an adjacent hood. We hi fived in the store and went our separate ways.

This is the way.

Let's talk gear. I intentionally didn't buy any new gear this postseason because I'm a superstitous mofo, but now I want all the WS championship shit I can get ahold of. First thing I want is a hoodie. Someone direct me to that.

I appreciate any future posts of WS merch. Esp if it's not the stuff on the MLB website. Didn't really see anything I liked on there.

You know what I'm going to do tomorrow? Watch clips from 2011 and 2010. I've never rewatched any of those highlights. But now I will because it can't hurt me anymore.

Yeah you didn't have shit to do with it you didn't watch the team all season then you talked a bunch of unwarranted shit about Max Scherzer.

Word salad to say:

”Thanks Napoleon. You were right about Scherzer.”

Don’t mention it Z.

40 & 41 on the road during the regular season.

11 & 0 on the road once Napoleon hopped onboard with full focus.

Maybe it wasn’t just my whipping out my big stick, maybe it was my presence on the bandwagon.

All the old Rangers can be released from baseball hell. 
 

Oddibe McDowell, Larry Parrish, Buddy Bell, Toby Harrah, Bump Wills, Jim Sundberg, Charlie Hough, Al Oliver, Lenny Randle, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmeiro, Julio Franco, Mike Hargrove, you name ‘em.  
 

Also, the then-mayor of Arlington, Tom Vandergriff, that made the deal to get the Senator’s franchise to Arlington. 

Rich Billings and Jeff Burroughs were my heroes. Then David Clyde, Jim Sundberg and Mike Hargrove showed up.

Is there anybody alive who's witnessed more Rangers games than those 3? Maybe somebody like Randy Galloway?

I hope all of the above are celebrating in style tonight.

This one doesn’t say champs but was official dugout issue, but it’s understated and clean as fuck.

I have missed less than 5 football home games since I became LHF in 2013, so I naturally rewatch every game-we all know you actually miss a lot in the stands. I haven’t rewatched 2021 ou to this day. Not directly related, but massively understood. 
 

I was employed by Frisco RR for both 10 and 11 and was at all home games. Stillllllll can’t find it in me to rewatch any of them.

Evan Grant & TR Sullivan are WAY higher than Galloway.

Mike Rhyner

Grant is 56, Sullivan is 64. Rhyner is 72. 

Grieve is 75, Galloway 80, and Morgan is unknown. 

 

Undoubtedly, all of them have been witness to innumerable Rangers games. I'm so happy for all of them to finally be able to see them win it all.

Johnnie O and Peter Millar have some nice World Series Champs duds already on their websites. Hoodies too.

Times like these, men…all buddies have gone home. I’m on my porch and can’t feel my fucking hands, but I HAVE to have a few more bourbons reflecting on my days with Frisco, when guys like Colby Lewis, Hambone, French, etc came through for rehabs and I just sat in a rolling chair shooting the shit with them at their locker. I was gameday promotions in Frisco. It’s a wave of emotion. I’m a Spurs fan, but never emotional about the NBA. This is my first title since VY ran for the corner. Love you fuckers.

I've already watched the condensed version on MLB app 3 times. My fiancee came out and asked why I was making so much noise. Said I'm reliving the moment and to go the fuck back to bed

Randy Galloway is fucking awesome.

Yeah, Randy is a bad ass. Love that dude. I’m not sure exactly when he started on the Rangers beat but, hell, he might’ve been there at the beginning for all I know. He had a love-hate relationship with the Cowboys, especially after Jerry came on the scene, but he always loved the Rangers.

I have to imagine Chuck Morgan and John Blake are having a hell of time tonight.

Love that so much. If you’re ever at a home game in ATX, come find us at Trinity and MLK under the pecans against the fence. Will take a shot, brother. Eyes of Texas Tailgaters.

Have those bourbons man. 

I'm a Spurs fan, too, but didn't appreciate them until the '14 title.

This is the 3rd title I've appreciated during my life. '05 Texas, '14 Spurs, '23 Rangers.

Once every 9 years I guess. Not quite. I was born in '95. 

I count myself really fucking lucky to experience those 3. 

Once a decade feels like reason enough for me to show up absolutely shitty to work tomorrow. They'll understand.

Love it dude. We’re basically the same man, born in 87’. Same sentiment to you, coke to the tailgate anytime in ATX, you’ll be welcomed. 

Double posts be damned, I apologize. I just like TEXAS.
