Carlos Gomez and George Springer are roughly equivalent players
Gomez had a couple good years, springer is WAY better

This thread was waaayyy too far down the page.

Just to catch up, the Arlingtonians have signed Bartolo Colon to a minor league contract and are kicking the tires on Tim Lincicum. I believe in his limited stint last time he tried pitching, he had an ERA close to 10. And Bartolo in Texas where Whataburgers are around every corner is probably a bad idea.

Meanwhile, the World Series Champion Houston Astros will trot out Justin Verlander, Dallas Keuchel, Gerritt Cole, Lance McCullers and Charlie Morton. Just in case you forgot, our #4 starter was an All Star last year. Poor ******* is buried on the depth chart at #4.

Damn the Rangers fckin suck.

Let's see...They had a fire sale last year and made multiple low budget crappy insignificant signings this year.

Sure looks like a tank job to me.

Not sure you understand what tanking is, which is weird because you're an asstrolls fan.

It took you just under a month to come up with that suck burn?

CLEARLY I have been posting on this thread since it started and waited "just under a month" to think of something to reply with. Good job reading context, you must have been awesome at Blues Clues!

Just like you as a Ranger fan wouldn't know shlt about winning a WS trophy.

And from now on that's Defending Champion asstrolls to you.

Dont worry we'll help you remember in case you forget again.

You're right, although I do know about losing one being one strike away twice in the game. It was brutal. I've never experienced being swept in a WS though, what was that like?

That's right...Since the Rangers haven't won one they're still resorting to comparing WS losses.

But see we're beyond that now.

There's certainly one difference between the ball clubs everyone can agree on. That difference is:

It feels the same as a loss. This aint horseshoes or hand grenades skippy.

They dont give feel good trophies for getting close and there is no asterisk in the record book for "got to within one strike twice" or "got swept". All it says in the record book, recorded for all time, is: 2017 World Series Champions: Houston Astros.

They only give a trophy for winning. And we got one. Thats all that counts.

I think I'd rather be swept then go through watching Nelson F'ijg Cruz helplessly drift back for a fly ball again.

I for one would like to personally thank the Rangers for putting Darvish on the block. He not only gave us our easiest win in game 3 but well, I don't need to go into game 7.

Surely the Rangers will have a equally strong rotation for the opening weekend.

That looks like a 1-4 start to the season to me. That's assuming they can keep Machado in the park.

Legit laughed at "asstrolls"

Glad to see y'all are able to come up with new material despite having a fkn horrible team and absolutely no chance at anything resembling hope this season.

We should have a trash talk thread meet up at either ball park.

And what material did you have in 2013 when you finished 45 games out of first place?

Oh c'mon man, they are just raking in the cash at the expense of us "Johnnny-come-lately" Astros fans.

I sure hope Cole Hamels appreciates his good judgement in signing with the Arlingtonions couple of years back.....although I guess he gets to retain his ace status...he'd be #3 or #4 with Houston.

I am dead serious. Nitty gritty, I don't think he would crack this rotation.

He would be #5 in the rotation. And if he floundered in 2 starts to open the season he would get swapped out for Morton/McHugh/Peacock. And I'm dead serious.

I hope we never have to move Peacock out of the bullpen. I love having that guy ready to erase a shaky start and go 4 or 5 innings....he fits in perfectly with the way Hinch manages.

To be fair a bat is the only thing they even stand a chance of taking from us.
