  1. 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….
  2. 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….
  3. As a Rangers fan I completely agree; dude is like 2001-era Barry Bonds without the 14 1/2 hat size…
  4. 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….
  5. I think your evaluation of Jung’s arm is weak..
  6. It comes and goes; when we were on top and the Astros were losing 100+ a year Austin was absolutely a Rangers town…
  7. Lol how in the fuck are they gonna know if you walk back into a stadium?
  8. Why wouldn’t Holland be the one throwing the pitch /nohomo? Dutch still has the #1 postseason start in Rangers history, edging out Cliff Lee’s masterpiece in Yankee Stadium…
  9. Two ranks above Cap’n, which is the highest rank in breakfast cereals…
  10. If the game lasts more than four hours do they call it on account of player safety?
  11. And then Robert Duvall died from a gunshot wound….
  12. I don’t know that I’d call it ‘dominance’; it’s been effective in the sense that no leads have been blown, but still a fuckin’ white knuckle ride, especially when Chapman rolls out there. Definitely better than the regular season (especially that late August to mid September stretch), but I still won’t be comfortable any time the tying run’s on deck no matter who’s up there….
  13. Holy motherfucking hell… Fuckin 2-0 baby.
  14. Hope we don’t end this with Suicide Solution…
  15. Fuck you you little midget bitch….I’m digging postseason Sborz…
  16. Lizard not wanting to see how Act III of Framber vs Simien turns out…
  17. Wonder if they’ll show 11 replays of Jonah’s homer?
  18. Hate it when people quote themselves, but…dude is seriously on a Gold Glove trajectory
  19. Remember back when we used to worry about Jung’s defense?
