[TejasPedro 1858]

Rangers need to start counting outs. Please show the champagne on ice in rangers locker room!

[Pimphand 5761]

Eat shit you fucking apologists die in the nearest fire we are done with your flaccid micro pene bullshit.

Is it bad luck if @tx 3 putt starts the off-season thread before the game is over?

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Screw me for celebrating winning the division and “locking up” home field advantage.

He is a scrub but no

[Lat22 4014]

We ripped their fucking souls out after Game 5 and somehow couldn’t figure out (again) how to win one game at home.

I was in the Dome for the collapse against Philly in 1980. This pattern is nothing new to me. 

1986 Mets was brutal.

[Briuis 61]

We need to trade Dusty and Maldonado for Bochy or fire Dusty and let Espada run it. 

[David Dennison 18888]

I have a buddy who is convinced Jim Crane will give Dusty another chance.

Given the Astros issues this year, I'm pleased we made it to the ALCS, nevermind it going to 7.  I mean, we could be the Yankees.  Lol.

Or the Braves. Or the Dodgers.

The best and worst thing about this team is how laid back they are and have this no care look on their faces. Great when you’re coming back and winning games and annoying as fuck when you’re getting your shit pushed in at home all 4 games.

[perfectchaos007 6662]

I'm already mentally preparing myself for Dusty and Maldy teaming up again next year for the Astros. Anything other than that would be a welcome surprise

Just hire Espada but the GM needs to not lick ass if we are to have any hope

[WBT 20586]

Shocked that we haven't done anything against this spare

[Rockethorn1978 6089]

I mean sborz being unhittable when he sucks is just proof it’s their year. Dude was below average bullpen guy all year.

Oh, I think that, too, but I’m too superstitious to say it out loud.

Have a buddy who says Dusty isn't coming back. They trust Dana more.

Dusty deserves it after the quotes he gave Smoltz about how nobody beats him at home.

[Macklemore 2872]

It’s going to be painful to read the thread of hate tomorrow once I have the stomach to do so. FUCK

What I mean is, isn't his contract up? 

[Rockethorn1978 6089]

Right on cue! A meaningless double with 2 outs only to be stranded with a strikeout 

[UTexasFight 9454]

A blast here and we just need 3 each of the next two innings!

If he's making all the same complaints as Click maybe it's sinking in.  It's worried me a little that Dana is old enough to have played with Bidge at Seton Hall.

[TexArcher 37865]

Must feel good for Aroldis to know that the bomb he's about to give up won't hurt his team for once.

Nah those panty waists have to jump up swing up just to hit us in the knees.

They will get raped by Philly it is written in the stars.

I had heard that he is welcome as long as he wants/has the juice to go.

Yep.

Hopefully the old coot just retires. Jesus Christ, he'll turn 75 next year.

only two grand slams behind

We scored 1! Yeah! We’re now .2 higher than our average at home for the postseason!

Feels like Philly is on the same mission we were on last year.

One thing for sure, there will be a lot of souvenirs to be had in the outfield.

Feels like the Rangers are, too.

They're good and they'll have the better manager.

[HtownHorn 14691]

This series was lost with Dusty never starting the death lineup, though it didn't help that Tucker and Brantley did almost nothing.

Frankly, the Astros need to rebuild their minor league depth and Tucker and Framber would be the perfect way to do it.

We need find a couple of OFs and some better bullpen arms.

Crane should have an honest conversation with himself about how to not fuck up a good thing which should include asking Luhnow to return to be President of Baseball Operations and allow Dana Brown to hire his own front office people and coaching staff. There isn't a coach I would want to return.

I hate that guy so much

[Storm the Field 5295]

Genuinely amazing to me that we made it Game 7 of the ALCS despite having a losing home record that got exponentially worse with each passing week since September.

We're going to end this up batting well under .200 with RISP during home games this post-season.

He's really, really good.

[Lat22 4014]

I think the Rangers crush either NL team. 

[Briuis 61]

Another shot of Dusty and his damn toothpick to follow a Garcia bomb.
