They're about to lose their 6th straight game and get swept by Toronto at home.

Next comes Oakland (who has their number) then road games in St. Louis and New York.

By the time the damage ends Oakland may well have an insurmountable lead in the West and with the likelihood that both wild card teams will be from the East, the Rangers are looking at being out of contention.

So when do the Rangers deal Nathan, A.J., Ian (if someone will take him), anyone with value?

You know what? I'm just going to let this stupid shite sit out here and fester. You're posting this now because you think it makes you look correct in all your negativity earlier in the year.

Take a look at the list of players on the DL. This team will be fine.

As fiddy said, this team is a walking infirmary. We aren't even to the AS break. Good God.

STFU negative Nancy. You love it that Rangers are doing poorly because you predicted it. You are not fan, you are bandwagon jumper.

It is June and they are dealing with an incredible amount of injuries while staying within striking distance.

Ian (if someone will take him)


You have a very low baseball IQ. There are about 25 teams that would love to have Ian as their 2nd baseman.

And oh yeah there in second place. Just trade the whole fricking roster.

It's a shame that I knew to look for your post sometimes this weekend. For the record I went to all four games this weekend and while the Rangers certainly did play like shite all weekend I also had to remember that it is June and they are only 3 games back from Oakland and still are tied for a Wild Card spot speaks a lot. It did piss me off to an extent that the one series I'll probably go to this season they played like shite but still. This team will turn it around once all injured players return.

Never mind that Oakland comes into town tomorrow and ground can be made up this week.

If you legit believe that this team should sell people at this point you are truly dumb.

TL;DR: You are a moron.

They really need to get the bats swinging and do something in this A's series. I'd say the Rangers have done pretty well with this rag tag rotation/bullpen.

Dodgers, Yankees, Blue Jays, among others laugh at Rangers complaining on injuries

(Of course the Dodgers kinda suck)

Detroit seems to be a team that stays remarkably healthy year in and out. Oakland has had players miss games from Colon, Cepedas, JR, and others (those being big ones) but they just plug another unknown and chug along

Yes, because Colby Lewis, Matt Harrison, Alexi Ogando, Joakim Soria, Martin Perez, and Neftali Feliz are nothing. And that is just the pitchers. 4 All-Star pitchers that have missed significant time, if not the whole year.

Lewis- never an All-Star career 4.76 era.... Back of rotation guy not a big deal
Harrison - your #2 so that is a legitimate concern
Soria - really? He was in All-Star in 2010, sucked in 2011 and has stated hurt so I hope you weren't really counting on a guy who hasn't pitched since 2011
Ogando- stud potential and his injury depletes the staff but he is a converted reliever and a bit of a wild card as well when you think about him holding up over a season
Perez- guy with 7 career starts and a 5.40 era?
Feliz- your all-star closer, but do closers really mean much? Look in Pitt and other places where they just plug players in to close and have success.

I know you are counting Soria and Ogando as all stars but one happened as a specialized reliever not as a starter and Soria hasn't been an all-star caliber player for awhile.
