re: Texas Rangers bandwagon™. All aboard!

Saw a promo commercial for the MLB postseason and the only AL West team in the commercial was the Angels

Typical east coast/west coast media bias. Did it show the Cardinals or did they somehow get overlooked too?

That's cute coming from the fanbase that's been in hiding on this board until the last couple of days. Most of us survived 3 consecutive 100 loss seasons. We're not going anywhere.

and yet the Rangers spent nearly the entire season behind them. Sorry bout it.

And how's that working out for you now?

Good thing the season doesn't end September 18th.

Yall are a sensitive bunch.

This team has come all the way back from the dead, we're just having some fun

How would your mood be if your team hadn't made the playoffs in a decade, you went through 3 straight years of 100 losses and ya'll blew a 5.5 game division lead in less than a month and just got drubbed by the "other" Texas team?

Most of our reactions in the DAT are fueled by a decade of suck. We desperately want to be relevant again. We don't always get to melt over blowing a division lead. Let us have this!

Your team is young and will be near the top of the division for a long time

I think this is something playing a factor. Ya'll have guys like Prince, Beltre, Choo etc and many guys that we're on the World Series teams. They've been here before. We've got a bunch of young guys/ guys that have only known losing at the major league level. Seems like they're trying doing too much and feeling the pressure.

Plus this season ain't over yet

My hope. I don't know why but we're a totally different team at home. If we can get right on this next home stand and close out with a good series over ya'll we might be ok.

I will say that the forced rivalry Bud Selig so desperately wanted is slowly developing.

Here we go...

Sweep...
