Good news Rangers fans!

[Puget Sound Angel]

Both Texas teams out of the playoffs. It's a beautiful thing. Go Blue Jays!

[ten ocho recon scout]

Ok, just read a breakdown.

HOLY SH*T! Lol...ranger trolls will likely stay in texas for a while.

All trash talk aside, thats got to be one of the most heartbreaking choke jobs in history, especially after lucking out so big on the martin error.

[ELEVEN]

This is one of the most boss things I've ever seen. Big fan of Joey Bats now.

Best.

Bat Flip.

Ever.

Well, I'm a Rangers fan as well. I told myself a couple months ago if they just won the division I'd be satisfied. They accomplished a lot just doing that. Then of course I got greedy, so yeah, this stings a little. Nothing like Game 6 though. Not even remotely close. FWIW Bautista's a roided up piece of shit with a paste-on beard. I hope he gets Tony Conigliaro'd by KC.

thank you for posting here and perpetuating all of the stereotypes we have of Ranger fans.

And for godsakes will someone please find the stamm youtubr meltdown and post it?

It's no longer there, even YouTube has standards.

Don't mention it.

Sheesh, one of the reasons I love this forum is the sense of humor MOST of you guys have. My favorite team just collapsed like cheap lawn furniture (again)and you and AO are acting like Victorian scolds. Lighten up ladies.

I agree with this guy.

 

I say shit just as bad about players all the time. I think on several occasions I've wished David Ortiz would develop AIDS.

 

He's just venting after a tough loss. Some of us are pros at venting after a good win. So there's that.

[Jobu]

I agree about the beard. It looks like it's applied thusly:

It is somehow better than Dallas Keuchel's beard, which looks like a viking's scrotum.

Whatever floats your boat. I just hope you enjoy being haunted by this epic collapse for years to come. We'll all enjoy re-living it, just like we'll enjoy looking back at that time we were one strike away from winning the World Series and DIDN'T screw it up.

Sounds like you'll spend a lot more time rubbing your wiener over it than I'll spend lamenting it. Like I said, it doesn't even compare to Game 6. This team, in most areas, wasn't nearly as good as the 2011 team, so my expectations weren't nearly as high.

The Rangers had a solid season.  

 

But they are no sure bet to repeat what they've done.  I'm more worried about Houston for next year and beyond.  

 

You never know how that type of meltdown is gonna affect them.  

[hen3ry]

Andrus may never recover from that inning.  Three miscues (only two were officially errors, but all three have to feel like them for him) on three straight plays,  And then in his last at bat in the year after all that, he strikes out swinging.   

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they lost.  But honestly, Andrus' inning makes me think of Donnie Moore.  Not because the mistake was comparable - one bad pitch, objectively, happens much more often compared to three straight fielding mistakes - but because the mental consequences could be straight out horrible.  I really hope someone has thought ahead to get him a headshrinker or something to help put stuff in perspective and get him through this.

Ranger player butthurt...

 

"I told him Jose needs to calm that down," Dyson said of his comments to Blue Jays designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion in the next at-bat after Bautista's blast, a confrontation that cleared the benches in the seventh inning of Toronto's 6-3 win. "Just kind of respect the game a little more."

"Respect the game" is the last refuge for a loser.

[yk9001]

Can someone describe, in equisite detail, Hamilton's strikeout?  I just want to revel in it.

I like how everyone is making Dyson out to be the bad guy when the Jays acted like petulant children the entire series.

Bad guy? Naw, just a guy who shit the bed at the most pivotal moment of the season trying to put it on the other team. He failed miserably when it counted most and he's pretending the bigger issue is how the other team reacted to an amazing moment.

There is an alternate time line where Dyson is doing fist pumps and screaming like a banshee after striking out Bautista. Nobody accuses him of "disrespecting the game".

[Angel Oracle]

Yellow Balloon, I had no problem with the rest of your post.    I just prefer to not wish horrific things on opposing players, just things like wishing retirement on Hamilton to get out from under that $50+ million the Halos still owe him.

 

Besides, it's not like it was a HR in a regular season game that didn't even change the outcome of that game.

Dude's HR sent Toronto into the ALCS.    I would think that would be one of those few times where the exaggerated bat flip could be excused.

Awesome post-season, and it can still get better from here...

the latriners going down in flames to the freakin Cubs is going to make it EPIC.

Bad guy??  Not at all.  But butthurt?   Absolutely.

You mean acting like Rougned Odor?

No worries, AO.  And no disrespect to the memory of Tony C.  Like tdawg said I was just venting a bit.
