Rangers-Astros mid-September series

[Ruminator]

Dear Texan teams: We regret to inform you that this three-game series scheduled to conclude this Wednesday will do a number to at least one of you on either your division standings and/or your Wild Card hopes. No wait, we're absolutely thrilled to inform you of this!

I think you're getting ahead of yourself. We gotta win the series vs. the Royals first.

Nah, he's enjoying himself. This is fun.

Point being, awfully nice they're facing each other right now whereas the schedule could have had them facing other teams only (imagine one or both of them going mostly undefeated here on out), so one of the two Texan teams is guaranteed to lose today tomorrow and Wed. Let the losses begin!

No doubt, LOVE seeing TexASS and the ASStros playing each other.

I'm sure he'll be back in a couple of games, but...

ASSstros won. Gross.

Puts us 3.5 up on TexASS. Only a half game up on the Cheaters. Go TexASS tomorrow.

We also have the same record as the Red Sox. I want the division. But....that's how things look after tonight.

So, we have the tie breaker over Texas. Texas now has 72 losses. 90 wins guarantees a playoff spot right now.

Hoping texASS wins the next 2, and they play 13 inning games

OK, maybe longer than a couple of games:

I hate the Astros with a passion, but I hate seeing guys injured. That was bad and you can tell immediately. Talk about a fluke injury.

That was ugly, TBS. Looks like his cleat slid on the plate and then grabbed when it slid off and hit the dirt. He was definitely stretching out to step on the dish. Looks like his timing of his steps was a little off.

4-2 on this trip, make it happen boys.
