Lol Texas. Biggest choke artists in baseball.

Adios cowboys!

 

[cashman]

If any of you want to blame someone for the Rangers losing & the Blue Jays for advancing to ALCS, blame Odor.

I feel like that's a ball that Moreland has to hold on to.

 

[Slime]

Donaldson gets a solid but off Bush, and Odor helps him score.

Poetic. Even more so had it been Bautista, though.

 

[RS4-]

A man needs a name. Who dat girl with Kyle Lowry.

 

[Malo]

If/When CLE beat the sox we will at least unite against the jays right

This is a reverse jinx, I will not take the bait!

Don't take it Malo!

 

[CosmicQueso]

So with two straight DS series loses in two years, where do the Rangers go from here?

2nd place in the west behind the Astros and fighting for a wild card?

I was more curious why Prince was in the dugout. Dude becoming a pseudo coach since he's under contract for so many more years?

 

[The Elite]

Bush party! Lol

Lol

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I think some Toronto fans are happier that the Rangers lost than they are Toronto won.

Such a Toronto fan way to take this.

Lol, yeah okay.

 

[outunderthestars]

Agreed. Even if you come off the bag.

Cashman: all joking about talk aside, sorry this wasn't your team's year.

I mean psyche wise. Two straight walkoffs to end their season wreaks havoc on the mind, though this time it's worse considering that it was only Game 3 where they put up any sort of that fight that got them the AL West and the best record in the AL.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Lol, yeah okay.

Ahem

Odor hahahah. His error is what lost the game. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

Texas Rangers are probably ecstatic about the way Toronto won today. No bat flip at all. So I guess they can keep their heads held high. Stay strong Odor. Stay strong Dyson. Stay proud Texan boys - no one disrespected the game today.

[Fuzzy]

Anyone taking bets on who's getting injured during the celebration this time?

 

[CrispyBoar]

Yeah, I made a mistake. It's Moreland who's to blame for costing his team the loss.

 

[Montresor]

Time to refill the salt shaker.

He's right in my case. I am truly more happy about Odor getting fucked than the Jays winning. But I'm a casual Jays fan. I don't follow the sport, aside from knowing "In Osuna we trust" and that Donaldson is pretty good and Encarnacion has a pet parrot.

These are the Texas Rangers though.

The last two seasons and losing to the Jays pales to what happened in the Ron Washington years. They were a strike away from the first Series title in Dallas.

The Rangers have always been pretty broken psychologically.





But at least they're not the Mariners.






And their dugout doesn't fill with raw sewage whenever it rains.

Sid is also a screeching idiot who shouldn't be taken seriously, but schadenfreude I guess.

We are happy to be advancing it's just that much more satisfying to do it against the Rangers, by sweeping them and the game ending on an Odor error.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Ahem

Like I said, lol okay sure. One guy.

I hesitated to add the Washington failures because I don't think it is fair to hold it to them, but you raise a good point.

I mean, that's not nearly as bad as two straight WS losses

 

[CosmicQueso]

You won. Just be happy. Stahp.

 

[Silver Arrows]

You won. Just be happy. Stahp.

The bandwagoners need someone to direct their anger upon and Odor is that person. Once again, schadenfreude I guess.

I've seen that posted here and on MLB.com.

Is it a quote from the celebration?

 

[IceBringer]

Congrats Blue Jays! Good series. Now hopefully the Red Sox can join you

Banner in the crowd. Pretty good banner.

I'm happy. You good?

Who are you

As someone who has been watching the team for over 20 years it's especially sweet because it's Odor. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Not too sure why some people think there is.

 

[outunderthestars]

Love seeing the Jays players running along the field celebrating with the fans.

 

[rinse82]

LOL BIAGINI

the best

 

[Malo]

I'd like to have Beltran come back and be our DH, but I imagine he's going to ring chase. Just please don't go to the red soxs.

 

[Samyy]

Omg Biagini :lol

Because it trivializes the win to simply revenge. Frankly, the series should be remembered for how the Jays took the wind from out the Rangers sails for three and a quarter games. Not some play that a vast majority of fans hated see booted that could have gone either way.

Bannister looks like Someone from GoT

 

[Silver Arrows]

Feels like there wasn't much of a rivalry between the two teams this series. No theatrics, mouthing off, etc. Can't say I really feel any ill-will towards the Rangers right now tbh.

No, there isn't, and I am glad for that.

I just know next year is going to have the same thing happen as it did this year, an ugly incident that shows how terrible both fanbases can be.

You can enjoy the revenge and appreciate the series the Jays had without trivializing anything. We're doing that just fine.

Anyways. Let's forget about the Rangers now and enjoy what's to come.

 

[CosmicQueso]

It was an incredibly impresssive sweep by a superior ball club.

But it's not enough to win. It has to come with a persecution complex and reveling in the failure of an opposing player on one play to end it.

It's beautiful in its own way.

 

[mdubs]

Exactly. Thank you for putting it in better words then I could.

More people are going to be talking about the Odor booting then how effortlessly the Jays made Texas look for three games and a third.

 

[Choomp]

The Rangers are lame . I was thinking that series would go 4 or 5

Honestly, I think everyone is already moving on. No one is really taking about it on TV. Everyone is just happy the Jays won.
