Yeah, you know the union. He could take batting practice with a bag of kittens and I doubt they'd boot him.

In other news... We see what happened to the Rangers since the Acester made that post. :angry

Yeah. This is why the Rangers fans were quiet. After coming within winning the world series by 1 strike two different times just to have it ripped away from us we have learned to wait and see.

Nothing is guaranteed with this team.

Holy shit, they finally did it. :towel
He is trying to sue for racial discrimination because he keeps getting passed over for crew chief and spots in the World Series.


Talk about a person being clueless. Its not because of your race. Its because Ray Charles could call strikes and balls better than you can. Even right now.

There are 2 Hispanic crew Chiefs and 9% of umpires are Hispanic. To me it's hard to make a case that discrimination is at play.

I was reading that MLB's response to his lawsuit is basically, no you just suck. :lol

Now that its freely out there that the world views you like this how do you even go to work? Shame him to quit I guess is the only thing we have left.

Um, Rangers fans... is it me or do you have a problem with all the celebrating tonight just for making the playoffs?

Sure, you're in now, but IMO you have to win tomorrow, otherwise if Houston wins you're flying immediately to Tampa to play a 98 wi team. Eff that. Arizona will have nothing to play for so Houston is almost sure to win. Meaning you must win tomorrow or this thing could be over almost before it starts.

TLDR: IMO this wild card stuff barely even counts as the playoffs. You better act like it's division or bust.

Ahh. I don't mind. This is this groups first run and let them celebrate since honestly they should be out first series. If this was their 2nd or 3rd time in I can understand.

A wild card team made the world series last year.
It's the particular opponent in this situation, though. If they were playing the Twins, I'd feel okay, but Tampa? :nodno

It's worth celebrating that we're finally good again. Plus, they're a pretty young team that should be even better next year.
Think they can win a playoff series at least, provided the good version of the offense shows up.
