It is a great time to be a die hard Rangers fan. They have struggled for so long but this team has chemistry and heart. I am really excited about October baseball.

The buzz over playoff baseball in DFW area is very cool. Hard to believe the cowboys are on the back burner this time of year. Hopefully the rangers will close out the series tomorrow.

I was at the game on Saturday before running to the Don't Mess With Texas HERF: Day Dos. It was a bummer we didn't clinch at home but last night was AWESOME. Loved that they celebrated in the locker room with Ginger Ale for Josh Hamilton. The Yankees are going to be a tough team to beat.

Yes, I expect my boys will be hard to beat in a 7-game series. But the Rangers won't fold up like the Twinkies either, which is why I was happy with the wild-card. And were I a Texas fan, I'd be a bit concerned by the enthusiasm of last night's celebration. OK, I understand it's their first post-season victory, yet one has to wonder if they think they've actually won something so far. Just my :2 , and worth every penny.

Game 4? Wouldn't that be in The Bronx, and not Arlington? If so, and if so, then welcome to The Big Apple. I would invite you to crash at my place, but you'd probably find it a bit too . . . uh, cozy. :D

Game 4 is in Arlington. Either that or the Texas Rangers are really bad about selling tickets! I used to live in Midtown Manhattan and my best friend and a bunch of friends still live in the city so luckily I've got crash pads but cozy sounds nice too. ;0) I was just up there three weeks ago. Had a seven day mental vacation.

Can't wait for tonight's game to start. Can't wait for tonights game to finish.

No, maybe just about naming them. They likely mean the 4th game scheduled for Arlington, if necessary, which would actually be Game 7, not Game 4. But they have a good excuse, I guess . . . as they ain't never been there, how the hell are they supposed to know? By this time every other year, they were counting strokes on the golf course. :r

Yeah, they sure showed it last night. The Yankee pen went 5 innings with no runs, and that 12-hop bleeder against Mo in the 9th being the only hit allowed. Meanwhile, the Ranger pen gave up the lead and the game without recording an out in the 8th.

Hey, I know little of the Texas pen, but I thought that a bogus opinion when I saw it. The Yanks have been solid out of the pen all season.

World Series? Forgive me if I misread, but my eyesight ain't what it used to be, Sparkles. BTW, that IS a picture of a female as your avatar, right? :D

Congartulations. Good win for your Rangers Saturday. I'm sure the fans at the game enjoyed getting a post-season win at home . . . finally. Now let's see how hot their bats are, playing October baseball in The Bronx, with a game-time temp of 48 or so. :r

And did you learn that eye-flutter up in Chicago, or is it something you picked up from the Texas belles? ;)

It was a decent game, up to a point anyway. Andy was good, and Lee was better. I predicted elsewhere that A.J. would get hammered, so we'll see if your Rangers can put a stranglehold on the series tonight. But to quote the quintessential Yankee, "It ain't over 'til it's over". :ss

Series number 2 on the way. Mariners at the Rangers. Holland, Ogando, Wilson versus Bedard, Pineda, Hernandez. (http://www.lonestarball.com/2011/4/4/2089581/series-preview-seattle-mariners-texas-rangers-expectations)

Another opportunity to send a message to the bottom feeders of the AL West of what this season is going to entail.

2012 under way...first time through the rotation. 6-2. Here's my thoughts so far: Impressed with Lewis. Time will tell if he's better than last year.

Holland looks great, as does Harrison. Both matured and expecting good things for a long time to come.

Once Darvish got the rookie jitters out, he rocked it. Hope he's settled down now.

Feliz making a smooth transition.

And the BOOMSTICKS out again this year. Kinsler has 4 HRs in 8 games.

Let's hope they keep it up!!

I think 3rd time will be a charm.

Best thing is, Angels are in the cellar right now.

CRIMPS

04-15-2012, 09:30 PM

Sitting at 8-2. Watching our little Rangers play the twins, I was just waiting for them to come back in the eighth inning. No game feels out of reach.

The Angels will wake up. They will go on a run. They have some injury concerns, but the injury bug will hit the Rangers too. This should be fun.

Jasonw560

04-16-2012, 09:37 AM

I agree. I think the AL West is going to be very closely watched by all this season, although it will basically be a 2 team race. I also think (hope) the young arms for the Rangers will just get better as the season progresses.

As far as injuries, the Rangers have enough good hitting depth that I don't think it will set them back too much.

Next year, the AL West gets the Astros. So the Mariners won't be at the bottom of the heap any longer.

CRIMPS

Rangers look even better than they did last year. Anyone see Weaver singing along with the "Hit the Road, Jack" song as he walked off the field? Brilliant.

Another series win against the Houston Astros. Is it me or is every media outlet ramming the "silver boot" down our throat? Maybe we will next year, but today, I don't believe there is any shred of a rivalry existing between these two teams.

Agreed, Tony.

Next year we will see a more competitive Astros Team, I believe. We will also start to see the building of a rivalry. Until then, they are just another team on the schedule that just happens to be from just down the road.

Another walkoff. That's the 4th of the year. That was one of the more polarizing games you will watch. Errors everywhere, poor at bats, timely hitting, fantastic pitching. Seems like the norm right now.

No idea why I put errant playoff info on Mavs in the last thread. Was trying to mention the game deciding the playoff position. Whatever.

Really looking forward to Harrison getting back in the lineup this weekend. We get one back and I am hoping Shin Soo Choo is ok.

It may just be me but I wish they would trade Darvish for pitcher that is worth a ****. Don't get me wrong he has a great pitch when it is on..., but when he is having a bad game there is no coming back from it. He is just over rated in my mind for the money that the rangers paid for him.

Rant over....
