I'm torn over tonight's game...I will root for whichever team you can convince me has the

[joeybee12]

better chance of beating SATAN!!!!!!!!!!! :evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

1. Huh? I thought the Roid Sox were not in the playoffs this year!

:evilgrin:

[joeybee12]

6. How's that bottom of the division working out for you guys? n/t

[madinmaryland]

9. Heh! We're making a profit!! Isn't that the way business is supposed to work??

:rofl:

[JonLP24]

2. Texas has Cliff Lee

and Bengie Molina so there!

[joeybee12]

5. I don't know...

if they had won in 3 or 4 I'd think they had a chance...the meltdown at home doesn't bode well.

[HuckleB]

10. If Cliff Lee could start game one against the Yankees that might matter.

[Upton]

3. Rangers have NEVER won a playoff series..

[joeybee12]

4. You see, the inexperience is really working against them...they so totally

dominated the Rays in Tampa one would think the series was over...they probably thought so, too.

[JonLP24]

7. Lee has some post season experience

So does Vlad. I think there are others but I'm not sure. Tampa has experience too I think. Go Rangem' Rangers!

[Upton]

8. Yeah, after the first two games

I thought they might be a different kind of Rangers team. Now, after the last two, I'm not so sure. No way you can trust them to beat NY. The Rays know how to play and beat the Yankees being in the same division.

[JonLP24]

12. *cough*

[Earth Bound Misfit]

11. Torn? Me.....NOT SO MUCH.

[HuckleB]

18. Yeah, that's the guy who made Texas taxpayers pay for a stadium with no roof.

That ludicrous decision should have been enough to scare Texas and the whole of America away.

[Sugarcoated]

13. Cliff Lee baby!!!

Congrats to the Rangers folks!

[tammywammy]

14. The Rangers did sweep the Yankees the last go around.

They have a shot. :)

[HuckleB]

15. I hope they have more than a shot! -eom-

[tammywammy]

16. I've lived in DFW since I was 5

We moved to Arlington when I was 5 (I did live elsewhere when I was 19-22ish). I live only probably a mile and a half from the Ballpark.

I'm still shocked they made it out of round 1.

[HuckleB]

17. Congrats!

I'm a Brewers fan, so I know a little bit about suffering year after year, but you deserve a chance at the Series!

:toast:

[El Supremo]

25. YOUR'E shocked?

I was there when they first arrived in 1972. I used to go to a lot of games at the remamed Turnpike Stadium in the mid 70's when I was going to UTA. I never thought they had any chance of doing anything and I hated their last owner with a passion, Times DO change for the better sometimes!

[joeybee12]

19. That's true...and I guess my decision is made for me...

GO RANGERS!!!!

[TZ]

20. Spent a lot of time arguing baseball with assorted friends on FB

I have Red Sox fans, and Phillies fans and Giants fans and Dodger fans and Cinci fans and Braves fans and Tampa Bay fans and Orioles fans who are my friends..but we all agree on one thing...ANYBODY BUT THE YANKEES!

[joeybee12]

22. In that case..maybe I should post a poll here?

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

23. Go for it!

:evilgrin:

[joeybee12]

24. Done!

:evilgrin:

[Upton]

21. Now we're stuck with the Rangers

as our last hope to keep the Yankees out of the World Series. Sure, they've got Cliff Lee, but he can't pitch 4 games. I mean, without looking, can anybody name another starting pitcher for the Rangers? I'd rate the Rangers chances of beating the Yankees as slim and none. Thanks a lot Rays.
