Rangers are World Series Bound!

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!

WooHoo, the AL Atlanta Braves made the WS! Bobby Cox says you are welcome for the contributions of:

Jeff Francouer
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Elvis Andrus

How is that Mark Texieria trade treating you today, Ranger Fans?
I cursed that trade when Elvis left and obviously I was right.

Salty is long gone, but Tex did get a ring last year At least Texas now has their chance to prove their return in the trade. Don't forget about Feliz either, he has been a key part in the Rangers winning of the pennant.

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!

Not even close. They dealt with injuries all year. They played in one of the worst divisions in baseball. Worth was almost traded. They did get a boost from Oswalt and seemed to be the hottest team heading into the playoffs, but they definitely werent anywhere near as good as they were in 2008.

So their record of 97-65 with a major league high .599 win percentage doesn't count? Not to mention that when they fielded their reserves because of injuries and continued to win and battle on the field doesn't somehow make them better than anyone else? The Phillies this year where the best in baseball. The record speaks for itself.

Weren't the Phillies the best team this year?

Although there were other teams I was cheering for initially, in retrospect, I couldn't have asked for a better matchup. Either a franchise (Rangers) will experience their first MLB World Championship, or a city (San Francisco) will (the Giants last Series victory came in 1954, when they were still based in New York). Either way, a group of fans gets an unprecedented (for them) reward.

I'm picking the Rangers. The way they took apart the Yankees and Rays, the 2 best teams in the majors all year, they look unstoppable!

I agree. Rangers played consistent in both series. I think it's cool to Texas and San Francisco are playing in the world series! I especially think it's cool that the Rangers not only won their first playoff series ever, but in that same year, they're playing in the World Series.

What amazed me about watching the Rangers is, they never look rattled. They are a bunch of confident players, that know they should be here.

Shold be a good series. I'm for the Rangers to win it all!

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!

And looks like Giants vs Rangers. Hoping it's a great series very happy with the matchup. I'm gonna give the edge to Texas they impressed the hell out of me during the Yankees series.

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!

Id rather see a lee lincecum matchup. Ive seen oswalt and halladay pitch. Never seen the freak pitch, and since Id rather get stabbed in the eye ball than go to california, it would be one of my few chances to watch him pitch. Could of seen him in st. louis this summer but the game we went to didnt match up.

All I would love to see if a Halladay, Lee match-up as much as I can't stand the Phillies. Two guys that are at the top of their game, and could of potentially been teammates for this season just really intrigues me about a potential match-up.

Re: Rangers are World Series Bound!

hey legal take a look at how the rangers have hit halladay and oswalt in the past. He has been tough but the team has beaten both guys. Legal also take a look at how many hits the rangers got off of Sabathia, and hughes. If anything the NLDS has shown how vulnerable Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt are to getting hit. The team doing the hits does not have the caliber of hitters the Rangers do. Either way Giants hold a 3-2 lead and todays game should be a good one. Funny thing on mlb tv last night the announcers said 0 about a giants-rangers matchup. They already think the phillies are going to win.
