Don't you mean if Texas wins they win the series? How would you consider NY a lock to win the series and it's only gonna be tied 2-2 with Texas getting 2 of the 3 remaining games at home.

This is how I felt 4 years ago when the Mavs were on the brink of winning the NBA title, before D-Wade took over.

#4- Tommy Hunter
#5- CJ Wilson

That might do it?

Don't ever speak of this again :(

Tommy Hunter is going to open up some eyes tonight.


...hopefully, that's good for the Rangers and not the Yankees. :D

30-11 The Rangers have ass-smacked the Jankees around in this series.
Rangers are hitting over 300 as a team, the Jankees 198.

And the Rangers are still undeteated on the road in the postseason.

As Lombardi asked one time:
What the hell is going on out there?

Whatever it is, I love it!

CJ Wilson can clinch it tonight and give the Rangers some valuable rest to set up their rotation for the WS.

Congrats Ranger fans!!!! I really hope you win this series early so Lee can start game one. Win it all!!!

RANGERS INTO WORLD SERIES
Brush Aside the Dark Side Yankees

+ Rep for all of us who were on the bandwagon before this!

[J-Mike88]

Hey, enough of the doom & gloom of the Cowboys.
Where are the RANGERS fans here?

Let's rock, starting tomorrow night.

Cliff Lee vs Timmy Weedeater Lincicum.
What a matchup.

Got my pom poms ready! :D

It's just you and me D-Unit?

Cowboys are on their way to 4-12, and we can't get anymore love in here?
GAME ONE, WORLD SERIES... CLIFF LEE tonight vs LINCICUM.

Come on men, let's go Rangers!

[LonghornsLegend]

I've been pumped for this matchup, I wouldn't miss Lincicum vs Lee for anything, gonna be a good one. Rangers still look like they have a hot bat.

[J-Mike88]

WTF Matt Cain?

This guy looks like 1986 Roger Clemens out there.

And luck.... Kinsler's blast hits the top of the fricking wall and stays in the park for a double. He's left stranded. Then his next at bat, guys on 2nd and 3rd with just 1 out, he pops up.

Dammit, CJ Wilson should have started game 1 it appears.

Gotta sweep all 3 here in Arlington.
And they can.

My prediction for Rangers in 6 STILL LOOKS GOOD!!! WOOOP!!!!

Hi 5's around the room! The Rangers didn't win, but they still had an AMAZING season to remember!

Yes they did, what a run, and hopefully a stepping stone to more big things next year.

I still can't believe Hamilton laid an egg like this in the World Series, and that they couldn't get any runs again for Cliff Lee.

Lee + CJ Wilson went 0-3 in the WS. That sucks. Can't they ever get these guys some early runs?

[J-Mike88]

Geat win last night as the red hot Rangers win the homefield for round 1, will host the amazing Tampa Bay Rays Friday night with CJ Wilson on the mound.

Napoli the hero last night.

Verlander and the Tigers have to travel to the Bronx and face the Yankees instead. Watch out Yankees.....

What a fricking amazing night last night in MLB!
So happy the Red Sawks choked.... Evan Longoria, holy s***t !

Finally, the fun part of the season has begun! Playoffs are never easy, but I hope we can get back to the World Series. I'm happy about facing the Rays rather than the Yankees.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG with the Rangers at Home in the playoffs versus the Rays?
Lost all of em last post-season to that team, and today, CJ Wilson has laid an egg and served up some BP to Tampa.

Very ugly game. Way to A) not hit and B) give up crooked numbers in the 2nd & 3rd inning.

Damn.

Need to bounce back and win game 2. I was thinking the home team might win every game in this series, opposite of last year.

Now I have no clue.

It was a bummer to lose out on Cliff Lee, but what a great job Daniels did in bringing in Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli, huh? We went from having one of the worse defensive third basemen to one of the best while adding a nice source of pop. ...and while that upset Michael Young at first, Daniels' gamble paid off in the end as Young learned to accept his new role for the betterment of the team. That's a pretty slick GM move right there.

Trading oft injured Frank Francisco for Mike Napoli was an easy win move. Napoli put it all together this season.

Also, upgrading the bullpen at the trade deadline and moving Ogando into relief was brilliant.

Still not over, but you gotta love how smart this organization is looking if you're a Rangers fan.

I'm pumped as hell.... being picked up in 25 minutes to head down to the ballpark for Game 1 tonight.

Verlander vs CJ Wilson, what a matchup.
One flamethrower, one pure pitcher.
There's a big wind today, about 20MPH constant, bothered my little guy's QB today in his flag football league.
Not sure but I think this wind is gonna be blowing sideways, from 3rd base to 2nd.... but if it's in our out slightly, it will affect the long balls big time.

+REP all RANGER FANS HERE!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the East Coast Yankees, Red Sox, and MONEYBALL Phillies at home watching.
Take that CLIFF LEE!
Philly, buy some more pitchers and DBs and DLmen! How's Nnamdi doing Iggles fans!

[J-Mike88]

Where in the hell are the Rangers fans?
We had 50,000 strong last night, banged over by rare rain, to the tune of 2 hours worth of rain delays.

But a win over Verlander is huge!

1-0, the Cowboys have a bye this week, and the Rangers can win this series before the Cowboys travel to NE next weekend!

[J-Mike88]

These ***** are hitting like girls out there, especially Young & Hamilton.
Young has been pathetic, and he's slower than schit.

I'm tired of these guys not hitting. This lineup is supposed to be stacked.

They just blew the 3-2 lead on the Brandon Inge HR.
If they lose, tomorrow Verlander will pitch again and could send the Rangers back here needing to win both games at home. I guess those games would be Saturday and Sunday. What a weekend!

Baseball is pretty intense. Players are fickle. A lot of luck involved.

Young finally did something today at least.

[J-Mike88]

OK, all I had to do was b*tch and complain about these guys, and finally, in extra innings, boom.
But it was Nelson Cruuuuz again!
What a throw he had to gun down Miguel Cabrera at the plate and preserve the game!
Then the saltaway big 3-run HR!

3-1 now, lose tomorrow at Verlander, and still come home for 2 chances at home to advance to the 2nd straight World Series!
