Nothing new --- in October we'll be watching on TV

Heh, I think this is a Texas thing. Stros were owned 14-3 lol. Pitching is such a luxury at times. Sigh

Don't give up yet!!!
It's not even All-Star Break yet!!!

It just shows that not all sports in Dallas can be going good at the same time.

Yes, but what a terrifically titanic thump Teixeira toppled the punily prohibiting Posada with!!!

Too bad he held onto the ball.

It is funny when folks point to Ranger pitching in a situation like this, but if you look at Yankee pitching, they gave up one less run and Rivera looked terrible in giving up the go-ahead in the top of the 9th.

Note to Ranger fans, give it up, as in years past they will choke it up again this year.

no big deal... but all of these comments about the Rangers are from people who have really no idea what they are talking about...

how is there any correlation to what happened yesterday and what happened 3 years ago? 5 years ago? 8 years ago?... there's not.

different players, different coaches, different GM's... different chemistry...

i didn't hear any of this talk two days ago when they won 4-2...

anyway... blah blah blah...

The Rangers didn't manage to do 1 of the rarest things in baseball two days ago like giving up a 9 run lead. I think all this comes down to humor. I see the Rangers do these things, and I can't help but laugh.

T-BD --- yes, one less run by the Yankee pitching.....and 25 more world championships. If both pitching staffs are mediocre, I'll choose the mediocre winners. It's frustrating.

Very true, PD, and as I write this, I see they lost 4-3 tonight. The is something about being a Ranger fan...like a Saints fan or a Atlanta Hawks fan...you just know it ain't ever gonna happen.

And yet we all tune in looking for that rare shimmer of hope they always seem to provide until it dashes away. O the woes of being a Ranger fan. Alright, I'm just thinking outloud here, but for me, baseball is the hardest sport to get behind one team. It's hard for me to follow them, stay passionate, etc. Anyone else agree? Is it because the season is so long? Or because the teenage mind doesn't have that attention span?
