Texas Rangers

[Mean Green 93-98]

Today is a good day

Indeed.

So who are we pulling for to play against in the ALCS?

I'm just pulling for a game 5.

[Quoner]

If anyone wants to complain today that Ogando should have pitched two with a tired Feliz up, I wouldn't argue with you.

But, complaining today just seems silly. Go Rangers!

Are sure about that? If they go to a game 5 wouldn't that mean Verlander would be ready for game 1 of the ALCS if the Tigers won?

[Green P1]

To be the best, you gotta beat the best. So be it.

I'd rather face the hated Yankees. Fear Detroit pitching much more the NY pitching, plus we would be guaranteed prime time for every game.

Hate trying to watch at work.

Either way we'd get prime time since the ALCS and NLCS are not in the same days. It's just that the Yankees are much more of the prime time team.

I am not pulling for anybody in particular. Yanks have superior lineup overall but Detroit has superior pitching.

Last year I was happy that SF came out of the NL and we saw what happens so either way I think the Rangers have a legitimate shot either way.

[Green Mean]

Welp this is a big game today. Holland has to be on his game because Scherzer is a good one. Hopefully I can sneak out of work early to watch most of the game.

Nope. Several afternoon games in this series. Really don't know why St. Louis v Brewers rates Prime time over Texas/Detroit.

Go figure.

Because Fox doesn't have faith in the Tigers and Rangers bringing in TV audiences, so they wanted day games so they could keep their normal primetime lineup. TBS was more than happy to show the NL games in primetime.

You know I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that because I must have been thinking of the conference finals in the NBA and NHL. But yeah it's a shame that 3 of the games are scheduled during the day when one of the teams is a top 5 media market.

BAD radio was mentioning something about having to (or possibly wanting to) make them day games because of the X Factor. Either way it's a crock...I wonder had TBS had the rights if the Ranger games still would have been day games.

Shows you what I know. Didn't even know TBS was still in the rotation for the Championship Series.

FOX wanting to show the X- Factor instead of the ALDS??? Sad commentary on American society.

[Green Mean]

Couldn't have asked for a better start. Although Holland had first two batters reached he got out of it quickly. Rangers up 2-0 after 1 inning.

Starting last year (or maybe the year before?) TBS and Fox trade off the ALCS and NLCS. Fox gets the World Series all to itself (for now anyways).

[Mean Green 93-98]

Get Holland out of there. Quick.

[H-towngreen]

Get Holland out of there. Quick.

Absolutely horrible outing by Holland

[CMJ]

First walk off Slam in history.

[Mean Green 93-98]

First walk off Slam in history.

Didn't hear that.

Absolutely amazing ending.

[Green Mean]

Josh Hamilton's patience at the plate is a bit disturbing. He worked the count much more last season.

Michael Young is in a huge funk and he's making it easy on the pitcher by being overly aggressive.

Tho I will give Fister credit...he is pitching quite well.

[Green Mean]

Welp it looks like that today confirmed that Koji Uehara definitely won't be on the mound for any meaningful moments the rest of the postseason.

[meangreen]

Koji Uehara needs to fly home tonight and not bother showing up again

[Green Mean]

It's simply amazing that a person so dominant can be that bad in a matter of a day in one trade. I guess there is hope next season for Koji. Tho I don't think he lost the game for us. I kinda had that thought that Detroit will pull this one out. Fister is one hell of a pitcher.

need sum hittin

[Green Mean]

Need some good luck
