Remember when all the good little boys of Arlington down played 7+ ALCS appearances and assured us they were about to "go on a run of their own?"
🚨World Series hangover alert 🚨

Rangers are eliminated from postseason contention.
They are the 12th team since 2000 to not make the postseason after winning the World Series in the previous season.
Yikes.
Oh? Too bad. https://t.co/Cujx4huU9H

Nice title defense losers. I'm sure y'all will let the seamen sweep you as you slunk away into the off-season. Can't believe all the s*** you talked but I shouldn't be surprised.
In our defense, we don't actually play in the games. I didn't strike out all season. What it is ….

Oh, I'm going to call one big stinking BS on this point. Why? Because damn near every one of you guys called us cheaters and trash after 2017. We didn't suit up either and had nothing to do with it all, but all of you went open season on us. So, forgive me if I fail your basic logic test.
yep I'll also add that Astros fans were made fun of mercilessly for collecting replica rings, and how it was silly. But for the past month like 30% of the action on the thread was about how early you had to show up to the games to get a replica ring hahatjack16 said:Marvin said:South Platte said:Prosperdick said:

Correct. You aren't going anywhere. No postseason. https://t.co/DXtJQCX8D7

I know you guys have 1 and 1/2 championships of your own, but winning it all last year makes this year easier to stomach.
We had a massive massive playoff hang over. Jung being injured in the 3rd or 4th game of the year really took the wind out of our sails, Losing wonder boy Carter also hurt.
Scherzer and Degrom never could get healthy enough to help us this year. It just wasn't in the cards.
I feel pretty secure in that you guys won't be "raising the banner" when your ace currently has an era over 8.00 since coming back.
we feel so bad for your injuries, crazy that no other team in MLB has had injuries they had to overcome with depth. So unfortunateGrapesoda2525 said:

Do you guys ever get outside of Houston? Does it ever bother you that other mlb fans think you're all ******s for celebrating a tainted World Series that no other fans respect? Isn't that what sports is all about, being able to be proud of your team?
I know you'll say it doesn't, but we all know it does.
Congrats on the season. Hope Marvin's wife is okay this postseason.
also enjoy the whole MLB calling your title a fluke, that is if they ever remember it! JohnnyTexAg1995 said:I feel pretty goodLt. Joe Bookman said:

Luckily my pride doesn't give a **** what you or others think! I lived in NYC during 2017-2021 so nothing a butthurt Rangerette fan can say would be worse than butthurt Yankee fans and I was pretty damn proud then
Thank bro!

We won it all in 2022 as well as winning the pennant in 2019 and 2021. If people don't think that 2017 team was good enough to win it then that's on them.
If A&M won a national title this year but nobody outside of college station respected it, I doubt you'd care either. Just like if it comes out in 2 years that the rangers cheated, you'd still celebrate the title because odds are you have amazing memories surrounding that championship just like we do with 2017.
MLB still recognizes the 2017 title, that's all that matters to me. If it got stripped (like Louisville basketball 2013), then it's different story.
the Astros have as many postseason appearances in the last decade as the Ranger have in their entire history, the Texans have more playoff wins than the cowboys since they came into the league as an expansion team, the rockets have more titles than the Mavericks since the mavericks became a team. What is this historic dominance you speak of?Lt. Joe Bookman said:JohnnyTexAg1995 said:

Let the record state… that AGAIN, a Houston Astros fan brought up other sports for some dumb **** reason. despite the fact that DFW sport teams have absolutely owned Houston sports teams recently and all time historically.

This is the best you can muster. *yawn*
The last time we missed the playoffs, Obama was president. Arlington is not on our level. Just a flash in the pan. Which is better than the never was you were for all of your previous history.
Daddy is still Daddy.
