    The Rangers beat up on some of the worst teams in baseball and now think that they are a team to be reckoned with even though they are still barely over .500 and he says Astros fans are overreacting?

    Oh the irony.

    Hey Dave,

    So, you're worried that we'll likely have a stranglehold on the division + for the next 6-8 years minimum. Well, your fears are well founded as Luhnow has built a solid foundation(farm system)..and we're solid/secure right to the top....Stacked beyond belief.

    As to how we react to our team...It's none of your business.

    So, F%ck off....and take your beatings like a man. You might as well get used to it, because we're not going anywhere. Enjoy that wild card (if your lucky) over the next decade.

    We're more concerned with winning Multiple World Series than some little dog yipping away up in Arlington.

    Was it Dabe Braybunb or Brebb Dobanb that sounded like he had completely blocked sinuses the entire time he was on the air? Made me want to blow my nose everytime I heard the broadcast, by the end I couldn't stan bit.

    I don't even think the Astros are as good as they can be.

    He probably came across that idiotic "Are the Astros too good where all the games are boring now?" thread and thought he was onto something.

    I haven't heard Astro fans talking about Arlington being buried, but both the Musers and the Hardline agreed that they were done if they got swept by Houston and went down 9 games. After dropping 3 of 4 to Houston, they were 7 games back. Since then, they've gone 12 and 6 winning 10 straight at one point. Now they are...subtract the 2...carry the one...7 games back!

    Also, can Beltre, Hamels or Clown Show work out of the pen in Raymond's wet dream or does Banty Douchster still have to work with their current trash heap?

    And how quickly the gap grew again. The Rangers are now 10 back. The race won't be over until September, but the Astros have positioned themselves incredibly well through the 1st 2 months.

    Matt ****ing Bush is great, Claudio is solid (if you need innings or a GB), LeClerc could be good again once he comes back from rehab. Other than that they are an absolute dumpster fire. And they have nobody on the farm ready to help, afaik.

    Oh, and Griffin just went on the DL for a while. They waited for 3 years for Derek Holland to get healthy, then bought him out. He signed with the ChiSox for $6M/1yr and he's 6th in the AL in ERA.

    Bumping this so we can laugh at that congested sounding dunce for what he said back in May....

    "Two weeks ago, three weeks ago, the Astros had won the division, they were already in the World Series and they were planning the parade. It was laughable the way people were reacting in Houston."
