Texas is primed to be swept

[rageous]

We avoid Darvish for the series and the rest of their starting rotation is a mess.

Oh yeah we don't have to pitch CJ for the series which is also a plus.

And they have lost 9 out of their last 10.

Anything less than a sweep and I will be disappointed.

You're setting yourself up for frustration.  We are one game under .500 on the road.  Nothing is a sure thing, and almost anything can happen in that band box of a stadium.  Oh, and we are leading off with a starter who hasn't won a game all year.

What a failo.

[tdawg87]

Nice jinx!

[worldofx]

This will go well.

[ukyah]

a sweep prediction before a series starts? my god. you have learned nothing. 

[rageous]

My last jinx post resulted in Garrett Richards going 3-0 and below 2 ERA so I have faith in myself.

Might as well have made a thread titled "ban me in a couple days"

Except Richards has been Acey pretty much all season long and your thread was specifically about his extremely low homerun rate. League leading in fact, but now he's trailing king Felix because he promptly gave up a homer in his very next start.

If the Angels don't sweep the Rangers I call for a 264 day self ban for AO.

Didn't he promptly give up a jack?

Rangers just fell into a tie for last place with the Astros, 19.5 games back.

 

They've hit bottom.

[The God of Runs]

Rangers are gonna get a really good draft position for next year's draft. They'll be back in the mix

[JAHV76]

As Sosh would say let's take it one game at a time.

[nando714]

We split

Thanks d!ck

This made me realize that it's a 4 game series. I'll be happy with just a series win, especially on the road.

I don't agree. They can sink lower.

If we lose this series, public bans for everyone.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Robbie Grossman snapped an 0-for-28 slide with a career-high four hits and the Houston Astros climbed out of last place in the AL West, completing a three-game sweep with an 8-4 victory over All-Star pitcher Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.

Grossman and rookie George Springer homered for the Astros, who moved into fourth place by a percentage point over slumping Texas.

Dallas Keuchel (9-5), one of five candidates for the final spot on the AL All-Star team, allowed four runs and eight hits over 6 2-3 innings.

The Rangers lost for the 10th time in 11 games and have dropped 18 of 21. At 38-53, their .418 winning percentage is the worst in the majors - just behind Arizona and Houston, both 39-54 for a .419 mark.

Where are the Rangers fans this year anyways?

Well, Fangraphs is crapping on the Rangers so, they are clearly in on the effort to jinx the Halos.

If they beat us and he starts tipping his cap, I'm going to break something and it's not going to be pretty.
