World Series: Texas Rangers vs St. Louis Cardinals

[Air Force One]

Just want to say I really enjoyed this thread with you guys....actually a lot more friendly than some of the Cowboy threads despite the high level of heartbreak we have endured.

Was really hoping to put all the long seasons of the past behind us but instead it just keeps on rolling.

You know what is sad? Literally, we might not see another Rangers WS appearance in our lifetime. The Astros have one in their entire existence, and the Rangers have 2. You don't go 3 times in a row.

That is why, even though you can't do anything but praise Wash for getting them there back to back, he just isn't the right guy for the chess matches. He just isnt.

will Nelson Cruz be forever known as the Bill Buckner of 2011?

Hey, same here for me guys. I've enjoyed it. Have someone to share thoughts and even grumblings with during the game.

Yup. It was cool hanging out with all you fellas. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a miracle finish, but I'm losing hope pretty fast.

On baseball network today, they put the blame on the defensive alignment. They were not in a true no doubles alignment. That is on the coaching.

I'm with you. It was fun guys. I hope to see all of you next year.

It's been a fun ride, we'll be back sometime!

 

[jimmy40]

did they just say 41 walks this series?

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Yes. A new World Series record at that.

C.J. set a major league record for walks in a combined playoffs. He has 19 entering today's game.

Things look grim.

Can't wait for next years thread.

Same here, it was a lot of fun. The season long thread we had was even more fun. Maybe that's where we messed up, should have stayed in that thread. So is everyone in agreement that we should blame nyc (Sam I am). Haha, just kidding, he was one of the biggest Ranger supporters all season.

 

[windward]

Oh and congratulations to the st Louis Cardinals.

They earned it.

but then they were when they couldn't have a single score the guy from second. :bang2: no matter what that was the most pitiful attempt to catch a fly ball I think I've ever seen out of anyone in the majors.

 

[DragonCowboy]

Hamilton, Young, Beltre...pretty much our last chance, gotta get at least 2 runs here.

Major League record for recording a loss in the ASG, DS, CS, and WS. Just wasn't his playoffs.

Embrace the curse. That's all you can do. We're probably not gonna make the World Series for a LONG time, maybe not even the ALCS. They tried going all the way with an offense in its prime but it just wasn't enough. Now you gotta continue to look for the future. It's time to pin our next hopes on the likes of Martin Perez and Leonys Martin. This was the last gasp for the Michael Young-led Rangers. A new era has to start now

I can't wait for spring training. Maybe we can do a Rangers offseason thread?

Wow, I'm feeling pretty depressed right now. I don't know why.
