Best case scenario is that the race stays "close" and the rangers are buyers at the deadline. Please let this happen.

---

Careful what you wish for,

Our lineup is better than yours so far.

You can try to pull a bunch of stuff out of your butt if you want.

The only thing that really matters when evaluating a teams lineup is the amount of runs scored relative to the rest of the league.

No one outside of Arlington would make such a stupid statement.

Tha Astros lineup, when healthy, was on a Murders Row pace, without Yordan Alvarez in it.

The only reason you can even try to make that argument right now is we lost hundreds of ABs from 5 all stars.

He's a message board warrior and this would hurt him more.

I'll throw down the gauntlet.

We have 7 games against the assblows after the ASB.

Farmer, I'll wager the Rangers have the better record in those games and you obviously take the Stros. Loser does not get to post on this thread the rest of the season.

Deal?

Have you even posted on this thread? I can't say i recognize you. But sure, why not? Seems silly to me, but y'all do have this obsession with head to head.

And by rest of the season do you mean when the Rangerettes are eliminated from postseason contention?

You're smoking crack.

Your lineup has had altuve, Alvarez, and springer lately. You guys are still struggling to put teams away.

No excuses.

You're a middle of the pack offense. When heathy this team is historically good. Do you not see the difference?

What's even funnier about this thread is grape soda making fun of someone for posting a quote Eric Trump retweeted.

One quick stroll at your politics board posting history shows you have absolutely no right to attempt to talk down to someone for political views.

Probably the only board that you embarrass yourself on more than this one.

Enjoy your late June "we got close" run. It already didn't last long. and we only get healthier and better from here. You just watched proven all stars and World Series winners striggle the most they have since 2016. And you actually think your patchwork team of scrubs and sausage diddlers is going to overtake them?

Hold my beer while I laugh in your face.

Oh and that "total runs scored" figure that you think proves you have the better offense.. we played the hardest schedule in the MLB through early June.. without our stud rookie even in the team, and absolutely demolished everyone we played. You can quote any stat you want, but if you asked any neutral bystander which offense they would take healthy, the answer wouldn't be the one with Roughned Odor on it and Hunter Pence as your best player.

Go ahead and edit your posts now. Because it's going to be fun revisiting this thread over and over and over again. You guys never learn.

It was a joke. That "quote" was Socrates, but not really. He seems to be proud to hate of this Trump. I can't say I know anything about him, but it cracks me up he keeps bringing it up.

What's even funnier is your assumption that I was attacking him because of his political views. Quite frankly, this is America and not some 3rd world country, farmer can believe and vote for whoever he wants. I don't go after people for their political views, that's what terrible people do (on both sides).

I guess I have to spell it out for you, but I was attacking farmer because he actually follows Eric trump on twitter and he quoted him in this thread. Even most conservatives know that Eric trump is as dumb as a bag of hammers and a very low IQ individual. The trump administration goes to great lengths to protect him and keep him away from bad interviews and negative publicity.

One quick glance at your posting history indicates that the posters on all forums like and value my posts much more than yours. You've been here 10 years longer than me and I have much more stars than you.

With that said, I hope that minority group of posters continue to enjoy your posts riddled with faulty logic, typos, and bad grammar.

Oh ****, got you worth stars count.

And the rangers have been with out their 3 biggest producers for extended periods of time as well... quit making excuses. The Rangers bats have been better than the Stros thus far.

You do know you that you can see tweets without following a person right? It just seemed fitting that you turn to trying to insult me when you know you cannot argue to Rangerettes to be on the same planet as Daddy.

You're right, it seems out of place to talk about the head to head records between two teams on a trash talking thread about those two teams.

Are you actually this dense in person?

---

Just like teasips. Let me help you out here.

Astros WS - 1
Rangers - 0

From the perspective of a mediocre team with no shot at all at winning a World Series head to head might mean something. But when you're a former world champion, who wins 100 games regularly, and is the favorite to be world champion again you don't sweat a few games regardless of who they're against. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

---

Lmao you win a title and you act like you're some blue blood program with a rich history. Oh and news flash...you're not the favorites to win the World Series but you probably already knew that.

You over estimate as usual.

And? We're not the ones in here acting like we are.

Looks like we're still the favorite with a 98.7% of winning the division as well.

Edit: I AM MISTAKEN. We only have a 20.0% chance while LA has a 20.5%. I think that has mostly to do with the road to the WS, but still. We are 2nd favorites.

You're delusional.

The Astros aren't the favorite to win it all. I'd put the Yankees and dodgers ahead of the Astros based on how the season has played out so far.

It's just like you to overestimate the Astros and underestimate every other team in the league tho.

Sorry if it's a difficult notion that head to head might mean something. Even more so in the scope of a single season.

---

Except that in reality it means absolutely nothing.

You know what's hilarious?

Astro fans scoff at head to head and say it's a meaningless stat, but if the Astros ever caught us head to head would you guys bring it up?

The answer is..... most definitely.

You guys can't have it both ways.
