The Rangers are collapsing again

[kevinb]

At 40 and 6 years after he looked like he was washed up, Colon is having probably the best season of his career. 

And baseball doesn't have a drug problem. Ya ok.

[m0nkey]

Yu Darvish has lost 4 1-0 games this year.  He doesn't have what it takes to be a frontline pitcher.

[Jimmag]

Rangers missing playoffs, yes I will root for that.

He's coming... will have to be changed to he's going.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

LOL from a Fan base and Franchise that hasn't done squat except for win the winter meetings the last 4 years. Laughing at someone else's failures seems classy. 

 

I can't take much joy in it, considering that we currently trail them by 11 games and we haven't sniffed .500 since April.

Agreed but if the Rangers do miss the playoffs they'll be in the same position as us.

[sneaky_flute]

I think Darvish is the first to lose that many 1-0 games since the 70s.

[Bruce Nye]

Oh no.....now we're going to be visited by the Rangers fans who will argue they only sucked in the 2nd half of the season.

Great, can you tell us what we should be posting about?  I guess you would just have an entire board full of bitching about how the Angels sucked this season.

How bout not talking about how another team might not make the playoffs. Like the Angels and their fans have any room to talk. We were out of the race by April. But sure go ahead Texas may or may not make the playoffs lets all point and laugh. While the Angels finish 10 plus games below them. Edited September 15, 2013 by Kevinb

Oh cool so Angels fans should just be pissed all the time and not be able to enjoy our rival team's failures. Sounds like a plan.

Why be pissed all the time? It's a sports team. Next year is 6 months away.

I, for one, am not pissed. I don't really let my sports teams affect my mood. I'm a fan of sports first and foremost so I just enjoy seeing baseball at any time. If the Angels are doing good then better for me.

Isn't that the point of having a rival?

 

Sorry, I grew up before participation ribbons.

[Angel Oracle]

I like seeing the Rangers tank, but I won't obsess about it.

We need to take care of our own business in 2014, especially against the Astros.

Who's job is it to dust this?  Probably Nelson Cruz now.

[YouthofToday]

I don't revel in the misery of our rivals. Lets focus on ways to clean up Arte's disasters.

[Bruce Nye]

Where's Carl?

[Johnconrad]

I have to admit watching Nolan Ryan's face in the 9th inning of Game #6 of the 2011 World Series was deeply satisfying

I grew up before participation ribbons as well. Didnt know having rivals meant your team sucks so hope another team sucks? You must be a blast at parties.

[m0nkey]

Do the rangers even consider the angels to be rivals?

[tdawg87]

You must be a blast at parties.

 

I...I don't....I don't think you know how this line works.

[disarcina]

wow. Looked up at standings in the paper this morning (not a lot of reasons for Halos fans to check standings this season) and the Rangers are FIVE back and losing again today to the A's.

 

WOW.

 

If Billy Beane isn't executive of the decade in MLB, I don't know who is.

 

As for our Halos -- let's close this one out in Houston here in the ninth and try to advance closer to .500 for the season.

 

If the Halos could end the year at or above .500 that would be great.

 

Might be a bit misleading as to the season they've had -- I don't think the Halos have at or above .500 since April. If then.

[DW711]

Don't screw this game up and that will do it.
