    For some reason, after last night's win and the Ranger's loss, I have a feeling (for the first time) that we are going to pass them in the standings and win the division. Hope that comes true.

    I propose you make an entirely separate thread where we just contribute these song titles for the rest of our lives

    People just need to stop posting that Undertaker meme every time we get close. Every time I see that circulating around Arlington increases their lead again.

    Royals are up 4-2 on the Ms right now but wow they ran into two ridiculously stupid outs on the basepaths this past half inning while still scoring 3. Should have another run scored and still batting with a runner on 2nd and only one out.

    It's looking more and more possible that the impossible happens and we end up getting Brantley back for the stretch run plus the playoffs. If that happens there isn't a lineup in baseball I'm taking over us during the playoffs. As long as Framber and JV don't both completely **** the bed, this team is going to be REALLY tough to beat in a playoff series regardless of what happens with the Rangers and the regular season/divison.

    In the ok
    In a playoff series, Brantley is only taking ABs from Chas or Yanier. Help me understand what about that has you so excited.

    (Of course, if Diaz is catching and Brantley is shares DH/LF with Yordan or platoons with Abreu, I would agree with you … but those are not likely.)

    pitching around a lead off hitter wouldn't be ideal

    It all but pretty much guarantees Jake Meyers and Dubon don't get ABs.

    It is when you have Suarez and France behind you.
    I'm not saying walk him every time or anything
