It's Time! <---(Rangers' season mantra)
:hi5:
Hopefully, Hamilton will be a-okay after the weekend series against the Angels.
-
Go Rangers! I hope they're still playing when I arrive in the Metroplex in a couple of weeks.
-
At least I don't have to hear the Red Sux Nation whine about their season, considering they're still stuck firmly to Tom Brady's jock.
Sadly, when January rolls around it'll be DOUBLY worse having to listen to them bitch about the Red Sox AND the Patriots.
-
It's Reds time, my friends. Votto leading the way!!
I will be rooting for the Rangers in the American League, though. I love Nolan Ryan and what he's done with the franchise. I'm saying Reds in five games over the Rangers.

Lee just pitched his way out of bases loaded with only 1 out. :hi5:

Price threw a lot of pitches in the 1st as well. Almost all fastballs too. Wear the young lefty out, Rangers!
-
Cruz just went yard on Price. Rangers up 3.
ETA: Molina went yard too and Rangers got out of the bottom of the 4th. Rangers up 4.
-
Good win. 5-1 Rangers...at least 2 in Arlington now.

Halladay is putting in some work in the batter's box.

A no-no for Halladay.

I'm so pleased that I bought the MLB radio package yesterday, otherwise I couldn't have heard the Rangers AND the Halladay no-hitter. The best $2.49 I've spent EVAH!

Is Vladamir Guerrero still a Ranger?

Yes

Yes
I remember when he was with Montreal. He did not speak much English and played a Gameboy all the time they said. I think he is one of the best players. He used to be able to swing at anything and hit it out of the park. How is he this year? I am thinking not playing much, injuries?

He is doing great now that he DH's pretty much exclusively. He played about 10 games or so in RF during the regular season with Cruz being on the DL so much.

I hope they win. I have to give :bow: to any team that can play in that heat!

3 run bomb from Young!

Watching Phillies-Reds now. I hope their embarrassment over being no-hit the other night has faded.
-
Lead off homer by Phillips sure helps! They are up 2-0 now and I will say they win 3-1.

sorry about the 7th, pal. :( the series moves to cincy, but you have to deal with hamels. he was the kiss of death for the dodgers in the NLCS 2 years in a row.
-
a thriller in SF. the braves take an important game from the ****ing giants at their place. the series moves to atlanta.

A great game. The redemption of Rick Ankiel continues.

was that incredible, or what? the whole rick ankiel story should be a movie.

Am I bitter about the Reds? Yes. But while watching last night's game, I came unglued at Utley's supposed hit by pitch. I thought it missed him. It would have been a 1-2-3 inning because none of what followed would have happened. Check out this story I found on yahoo. Even ESPN is trying to sweep this under the rug. I think umpires have been so bad lately that replay is a must. Utley even admitted the ball didn't touch him in this article!

Rangers win!

Lee was just filthy tonight. The yankees got a well deserved kicking.

That was an incredible performance by Lee last night. Glad they held him out & brought in Feliz to pitch the 9th. Lee did a lot of sitting around during the 6-run top of the 9th.
I watched Game 1 at a very crowded sports bar in the Metroplex, and I've rarely seen a bar deflate like that with the miserable bullpen effort in the 8th inning. The hair metal band got the crowd hopping soon after the game however. :-)

I have never been much of a Baseball fan.. as a youngster I used to go to Rangers games, at Texas Ranger Stadium, before The BallPark was built. The dot game was my favorite!
Anyway, even though I am not a baseball fan, I find myself surprisingly interested, and excited for the Rangers. Must be the Saints fan in me. :-)

I went to a lot of games at old Arlington Stadium when I was in college there. You couldn't beat $4 outfield seats.

Spent almost every 4th out there, or on the other side of 30, by Wet N Wild. Good times indeed. :cheersmate:

I was in town this weekend for the TCU game, and as we were driving by on I-30, got into a discussion about fun times at the old ballpark, Wet N Wild and Six Flags. Yes, good times. :hi5:

Rangers do it again 10-3 despite Darren Oliver's worst efforts! Might clinch tonight if Wilson pitches like he did against the Rays and the bullpen doesn't blow up like they did last time he started on the mound.

I don't want to think about it. Everyone is walking around not talking about it, but they are thinking about it for sure.

Yeah, I'm not exactly in a sea of Rangers fans but I'm not talking about it either until it happens. 3:00 today hopefully.

I can't believe they did call fan interference on that shot from Cano in the 1st. The guy intentionally slapped DOWN on Cruz's glove. He wasn't going after the ball.
-
My Texas Rangers are in the World Series! :hi5: :cheersmate:
-
good for you! we dodger fans are nearly suicidal over the prospect of the giants making it to the world series.
I have a whole thread ready to go if they do, it's called, "The playoff system is flawed! MLB needs a BCS system!"
-
Well, the Game 1 matchup will be either The Freak or The Doc against Cliff Lee. This one will be good to watch.
-
Wow. Just wow.
-
freaking giants. shit disturbers. and they represent the most liberal district in the land.

I wish the Tribe had Lee back :( But he was in a dead-end with them and it's good to see him get to this level.
-
battle of the bullpens now. I would have thought that the phils would be up a few runs by now.
-
Is it just me or do I wish NEITHER team would win the Series?
I hate both teams pretty much equally.
-
GOD, i need a rafter.
-
fork the giants.
they are NOT the best team in the NL. there is no way. the playoff system is flawed;
we need a BCS in major league baseball

Yep, I'd rather the Rangers play a streaking Giants team than a streaking Phillies team any day.

shows ya what we know, huh? alarming series so far. I am going to have to move to mars if the &%$# giants win the world series.

the rangers win at home. I have a soft spot for hamilton; he played his low-A ball here in charleston. he seemed like a good kid until he discovered crack.
I am glad that he has found himself again.
he has the sweetest natural swing that I have ever seen.
