are they the Buffalo Bills of the MLB? How will history view this talented team? Will it be considered underachieving, bad timing, poor managing? Have the Rangers ever even won the Series before? fwiw, I think they finally get over the hump this fall....they have the best team imo.

They need a true #1 IMO. Not sure if they have that.

Nope, before two years ago they never even won a playoff series.

legit question....especially if they make it back to the WS again this year and lose. Won't that be 3 in a row? I think it's win or bust this year......

They are the best team, IMO.

They're going to win unless they run into a hot staff in the postseason.

Well, I mean the playoffs haven't started yet. Neither has the All-star break. Theoretically they could still miss the playoffs.

But St. Louis looks legit as shite this year too. Its not like there are weak teams in the MLB. And they had a historically bad Game 6 last year.

If they get there this year, they win.

They have good starting pitching. 1 through 5...few teams have better. They didn't have a true #1 last year and they were so close

With the way Josh Hamilton is playing this week. The Rangers don't need a #1, #2, #3 or #4 pitcher.

His stats:

13 for 28, 9 HRs, 16 RBIs, 41 Total Bags, .464 Avg.

Texas is the best team in baseball again. If they don't win it this year, then Washington has to go.

come on, douche... the braves, what?, went to four WS before winning one... to think a team only has three shots at winning a title is fricking stupid.

The Braves just swept the Red Birds. They also have the highest runs per game average of all MLB teams by over 2 runs per game. The Braves won their World Series in 1995. This was 17 years ago. The only player left in the bigs from that team is retiring after this season. This is not the Braves of the 90's, son.
