John Smoltz, for some damn reason, has had trouble praising the  Rangers this entire postseason. After Semien's home run he did manage to sum up this team's run with one phrase: "They are relentless." Indeed. You have to play perfect baseball against the Rangers. If you make one mistake against them, you're done. You make an error or a bad pitch and it feels like you just gave up a 5-run homer. That's how fast it happens, and they've done that all year, especially in the playoffs. It was fun to watch.

Is there a new Mr. October? 

I just can't really believe it. My dad took me to a Rangers game the first year they moved here. I've been a fan since, but it's been tough. I think the thing that is most satisfying about this championship is that they did it the way they have always played, with slugging. But they added enough defense and pitching to make it happen. I can't tell you how much I love this team. 

Please, please, please, keep throwing at Garcia. 

For those of you not too familiar with the Rangers lineup, you may want to keep an eye on rookies Evan Carter who is really cute and a nice rally starter at the plate and on the bases, and Josh Jung who has rounded into the very archetype of third baseman. (see what I did there?)  The first time for two wildcards to meet in The Fall Classic should make for an interesting and entertaining series. The owner of this team, the GM, and five of the players are Texans and that would make a title even more meaningful. Who says Texas aint baseball country? Viva Rangers!!!

Ranger Suarez is a Phillie.

 

Oh, well that's ok then.  Rangers were going to be at a pitching disadvantage against either team. We need Scherzer and Gray to come around in the worst way. Unless Garcia can stay pissed for four more games.

Then a stolen base and a single.   3-2 Dbacks

I was thinking that AZ would be the easier matchup for my Rangers, but not so sure now. And AZ has a pitcher named Ranger which is just bad Ju Ju.  IDK. 

Good luck with the fishing trashstros. 

It's called parody people. Get used to it. 93 is gone forever. The Cowboys are obviously not a dominant team this year, but they have the same shot as a lot of teams.

Harder to win at home without the trash bins, lol. Here's hoping for a continued Astros home collapse.

The trashstros are done. 

Most recently it was Salmon patties southern style. But with Panko breadcrumbs and olive oil instead of bacon grease. 

I was expecting the Jets D to be much more effective than they turned out to be. The Cowboys OL isn't even 100% yet. Fun start!

Cooper has been getting most of the snaps in preseason, so he's got to be scratching his head. Lance may still wind up as QB3, or maybe Jerry thinks there's a market for a proven sub like Rush, so he could be moved? God knows.

 

As for Skip Mindless, is it just me, or is he looking more like Madame every passing day? 

 

  

Madame is much more butch than that bitch. About half of Dallas would like to wail on Madam. (the one that calls himself Skip)

And the most dominant team through two games is of course the Dallas Cowboys!  With our 70 to 10 scoring ratio, awesome D performance, and great balance on O, what could possibly go wrong?  

Seriously though, the much-improved run D is very good to see. Cause in football, if you can run the ball, you can beat anybody. I am cautiously optimistic.

GODDAMMIT! Lions revert to normal.

How can this be? All they need is for their opponent to drop EVERY SINGLE PASS throughout the game and they win. 

The greatness of Steve Winwood.

That worked out pretty good for the Cowboys.

Yup. Landry was doing the shopping and the cooking.
