I think you just listed off the minimums for Mauer's season already. And he missed April.



He's having an incredible year. I don't disagree.

I guess I just want to root for Crawford. Plus he's 5 tool... I like that.

Is Liverpool gonna get their shite together?

instead of a 65-97 record when you miss the playoffs either way.


yes but again, why does a player who played better than another player get punished because everyone else around him was poor?

Speaking of great players, it's good to see Hamilton get back on track.

They can never close anything out though.

If they had acquired Halladay, they would be a real threat.

I still think the Angels win it all.

I have become a Rangers fan, I do not want to see Boston in Wild Card.

This is a different Rangers team. They have pitching.

Red Sox couldn't win a world series.

Tampa couldn't leave the basement.

and so on...past teams have NO effect on current versions.

Red Sox face Halladay tomorrow so I fully expect them to lose. The Rangers need to win.

Obviously. This could be the year. But they seem to do this shite every 4-5 years.

Rangers have alot of young good pitching that has stepped up for them this season. As long as they stay healthy Rangers will be a team to reckon with in a year or two.

Yep. I hate when the argument is brought up against the Yankees that they buy all of their players and haven't won since 2000, so they aren't going to win this year. Basically the PJ argument because he is an idiot.

The Rangers haven't made the playoffs since 1999, because the Rangers have not been good enough to make the playoffs each individual season.

Good bullpen.

I don't know that I trust their rotation to hang on when the heat gets turned up.
