Came here to say, "we are now full circle to the title of this thread, see you next year."

Losing to a team with 43 wins (who are moving markets and could care less about the rest of the year) in the ugliest uniforms ever.  Also, the new TX logo sucks.  Go back to the normal T logo in red or blue.  Team looks like a busch league Rice out there.

Mariners lost, Astros losing big and they can't muster up the effort to beat the worst team in the majors?

Cool. cool.

If the Rangers lose tonight they are cooked and I'm doing a full on pivot to the Cowboys. Not even gonna watch the Rangers out of the corner of my eye.

Damn double plays! Are their a lot more than usual these days or does it just seem that way because the Rangers suck so hard getting runs in?

Josh Smith sucked even before he wasn’t 4 for his last 45.

Cut him and make an example of him, Bochy/CY you cowards.

[Skipper 5969]

This team turning into literally the worst team in baseball was not on my Bingo card

[gofuckyourself 8066]

I remember back in early May replying to another poster who said he'd be happy with 82 wins. I thought that was really pessimistic and improbable.

22 games left to get 6 wins. Place your bets.

fuck me and I apologize to the regulars for doing a drive-by in the thread.  but as a lifelong rangers fan who sat the bleachers at arlington stadium as a kid, all I can say right now is 

lulz

what an absolutely comical fucking shitshow of an ending to a season.

We have 1 hit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

We’re winning. 

[DougO 5231]

Wow, a 2-run explosion! That has to be a Rangers September 2023 record for one inning.

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Not winning no mo’. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

New kid gets first AB with bases loaded, fortunately Oak throws a WP. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Don't fuck us, Aroldis. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Never a doubt. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

[DougO 5231]

Keep the winning streak going!

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Marcus leadoff yack. 

[HRSchenker 2224]

I'm glad I was able to pocket as much cash as I could early in the season selling my weekday tickets. My Saturday tickets sold at $11 and no one bit at $7 for today's game. Unfuckingreal. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

The real Cole Ragans showing up. 

6 walks too. 

[DougO 5231]

Two runs in 5.2. If he had been doing that for the Rangers today they would still be in the lead.

They should move Gray to the bullpen and try to make a closer out of him. He tends to look good for 2 or 3 innings before he loses his shit.

[Herbie Hancock 7275]

Let's see some fireworks Nate

Fuck yeah that'll do

[Herbie Hancock 7275]

Marcus Skrong!

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Marcus handles business. 

As does Corey. 

[Herbie Hancock 7275]

Seager Smash!

[beer 3197]

Wouldn't it be nice if we could bank a couple of these run outbursts for when we really need it. 

 

Except maybe that time is now.

Longest win streak of the Fall?

Let's goooooo!

 

[DougO 5231]

Series win!

Next 4 in Tor are rather fucking big, all 6:07. 

Dunning v. Bassitt
Scherzer v. Ryu
Montgomery v. Kikuchi
Eovaldi v. Gausman

Must win games for us (aren't they all now?). The cheaters get the A's and the Mariners get the Angels.

We’re not catching both of them. Need to focus on WC and pray offense can get and stay hot.

Zeke don’t play much anymore, which is fine. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Goddamnit, Jonah. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

Haha, noted blazer Mitch causes Bassitt to lose his head for a run.

He knows Mr. 5 for 51 wasn’t gonna do it. Seriously Josh sucks and is not a major leaguer. It’s malpractice to keep playing him.

[shadow_operative2.0 15741]

We didn't want that lead anyway.

Now Evan Carter is a Major Leaguer.
