    Especially bizarre for a relief pitcher who is not guaranteed to even be a factor in the game for which he announces he will be dominated.

    Here's to hoping he gets in for a blowout and plunks Odor.

    Quote really doesn't bother me.

    It's stupid, but it's not like they need motivation to beat us, they are already doing that. If this somehow Ina stupid unexplained way fires up our team
    Instead then why not.

    What the Astros need are letterman jackets. Now that should intimidate the Dallas Rangers...

    Sometimes you have to Bo Up first

    Sometimes you have to have the spark to light the fire

    put the "that's not the way we play the game" aside, and
    Let the plunking commence!

    Rangers about to take it to Keuchel. ;-)

    Wouldn't pick the Astros to win there either. :p

    I heard Odor's a pretty good fighter. And Banister takes **** from no one!

    And those who fight & the pitcher(s) who hits a Ranger, they're gonna be demoted after the game by A.J. Hinch. "That's not the way we play baseball. Now go apologize to their manager & the player you hit."

    They don't need to plunk or fight anyone. How about beating 'em on the field for once.

    Sometimes you have to fight just to show the other team you're not going to take their ****. Banister understands this concept. The Rangers waited like six months to get into it with the Blue Jays after that stuff in the playoffs. As you said, Banister takes **** from no one. On the other hand, Hinch is an egg head puss.

    Rasmus is very good defensively, but Marisnick catches that game winner last night.

    Giles bold with that statement because I don't care how much more talent the Astros think they have, they have looked like the more mentally weak, and at times less talented ball club. If those bold words help to light a fire under their asses then great. The team needs to have more pride and step the **** up and stop being the Rangers' p***y b****es out there.

    This forum has an unhealthy obsession with mediocre to awful players.

    Oberholtzer was a crappy pitcher that cemented his inevitable fate by deciding to get himself ejected mid-inning.... yet the eternal flame always burns for him at CF!

    Sure he does... along with his seven foot vertical...

    I'd settle for the SS making a routine double play with a 37 year old plodder at the plate, rather than a backup OF making a super-human jumping catch.

    dude, i know you have been an Astros fan a long long time, and claim to love them

    but if you want to cream on yourself for the Rangers, just go buy yourself some rangers gear and find a rangers forum

    Who said anything about Oberholtzer being good?

    He was demoted after the game for throwing at A-Rod because "that's not the way we play baseball!"

    Sure, he was/is a crappy player. Did anyone say otherwise?

    You are upset the Rangers are the Astros daddy. Do not take your anger out or blame me for that. Be upset at the guys that, you know, play the game!

    I don't like the fact they have owned us

    I would just rather you celebrate your victories on your own forum

    That's all

    No one is celebrating Ranger victories.

    Just because I say the Rangers are the Astros daddy doesn't mean I'm celebrating Rangers victories.

    Put me on ignore, have some self-restraint & don't respond to my posts.

    Cangaroo is bringing down the forum but I have no self-restraint and I can't stop responding to him! I keep clicking reply to his terrible posts!
