Magic number is 2. Ready to call it yet Flaco? I'm anxiously anticipating the day.

Well I hope I'm able to watch the game tomorrow. I'm leaving for Houston in the morning and should arrive around the time the game starts. Now I've gotta find some place that will be showing it. Only problem is that college football is gonna rule the day, so it will be tough.

*sports cry

LonghornDub · 09-25-2010, 07:34 PM

PLAYOFFS. Where's Flaco? I want a full-fledged celebration!

Mav Addict · 09-25-2010, 08:03 PM

Finally!!!....Some Ranger post season baseball

Male30Dan · 09-25-2010, 08:46 PM

This is a very, very happy day for me even with the Longhorns horrible showing. It has been an extremely long decade plus of either horrible seasons or seasons that only got my hopes up to come crashing back to earth. This team is playing New York or Tampa Bay and either team better understand that we will be playing with all of the passion and hunger in the world.

It's Time!!!

Male30Dan · 09-25-2010, 08:58 PM

Did I mention that IT'S TIME?

Mav Addict · 09-25-2010, 09:40 PM

I'm really interested to see how deep they can really get

mavspwnage · 09-26-2010, 12:16 AM

YES! Too bad I didn't get to see any of the game. I got to Houston just as the game was starting and had to follow on my phone. But whatever...hello win column!!!

DirkFTW · 09-26-2010, 12:59 AM

woohoo!

Flacolaco · 09-26-2010, 02:23 AM

I was at a BWW when they clinched. There was much clapping, and even a sports cry.

I feel so great for Mike Young. Seriously. Of all of them, he is the best story. THis is a long time coming for him.

What a great day.

Flacolaco · 09-26-2010, 02:27 AM

Rangers clinched....the Stars won tonight (which is of course where I was) .... and a bunch of people who have never actually taken an official class at UT were disappointed.... what a great sports day.

dalmations202 · 09-26-2010, 08:29 AM

I was watching the game when they clinched - on TV of course.

It was sweet. And the Cows lost as well.......good weekend for sports for me.

Male30Dan · 09-26-2010, 11:01 AM

Flac and Dalm - you are testing my patience with the negative rep functionality.

Mav Addict · 09-26-2010, 03:08 PM

C'mon Rangers

Dam triple A lineup

kg_veteran · 09-26-2010, 03:25 PM

Can't wait to see the Rangers win it all!

92bDad · 09-26-2010, 06:50 PM

Nice job by the Rangers...looking forward to being a part of the Crowd at the Ranger game tomorrow night!!! It's TIME!!!

This post makes me laugh. And is ironic. But mostly just makes me laugh.

Mav Addict · 09-26-2010, 10:13 PM

22 hits is pretty good for triple A huh?

mavspwnage · 09-26-2010, 11:49 PM

The Rangers destroyed Cahill today. Just got finished watching it. Offensive explosion for sure.

Magic # = -2

Flacolaco · 09-27-2010, 12:04 AM

I have this kind of odd disappointment now about the "rest of the way". Watching them has been so great and it has been SO meaningful for months now... These last 7 or 8 games or whatever mean absolutely dick. I didn't even watch them today, and I felt bad about it.

I guess I'm trying to say that "I can't wait until next wednesday!"

Actually, the games quite alot.

1. The playoff roster is not set. You've got some guys in the pen and at a certain infield spot that will be battling for the final couple of playoff roster spots.

2. You need to get healthy. Francisco and Hamilton are both trying to get healthy in time for the playoffs.

3. Especially with Hamilton, he not only wants to get healthy, but he also wants to get back and play a few games before the end of the season... get his timing down.

4. I'm sure all of the regulars would like to have a few games to get the offense in a good grove going into the playoffs. The offense has struggled alot of late.. I'm sure this is something that they'd like to turn around.

Male30Dan · 09-27-2010, 08:30 AM

I loved Michael Young's quote about not initially putting the goggles on because he wanted to feel the sting and soak it all in (paraphrasing). This is new now, but over the next few years you will feel right at home getting the alcohol tossed on you Mike.

Co-sign.

mavspwnage · 09-28-2010, 09:41 PM

Is there anyone here in the DFW area who would like my two tickets to the Rangers game tomorrow? It is a day game, so I can't go. And the one guy who I've been going to several games this year and who I thought for sure would be able to take them off my hands can't go either.

These tickets aren't lower level or anything. They are in section 339. They are my season mini plan seats and I'd like to see them get used if possible.

dalmations202 · 09-29-2010, 06:53 AM

Watching the Rangers right now (last couple of days) is like watching the last 11 years of the Rangers in Sept.

Games mean nothing really, and the team is playing like it.

mavspwnage · 09-29-2010, 04:24 PM

Rangers win on a walk-off strikeout by Nellie! hahahaha

Now that is the first time I have ever seen that. For those who missed it: The Rangers got three runs to tie the game 5-5 in the 8th because the Seattle pitcher couldn't throw strikes. He came back for the 9th inning and got the first two batters out. Moreland then walked and Cruz came up as a PH. With two strikes on him, Cruz swung and missed at a horrible pitch in the dirt that got away from the catcher. The balled bounced off the backstop to the catcher, who threw to first, and it looked like it was gonna be an out. But Smoak didn't catch the ball at first and it rolled all the way to Ichiro in right. At that point, Moreland is rounding 3rd and because Ichiro's throw was off target at home, Moreland scored for the GW run. LOL

92bDad · 09-29-2010, 04:47 PM

I listened to this on the radio...meanwhile the game is recorded on the DVR at home...can't wait to get home and see what happened.

This is the wildest ending that I can recall.
