    Cubs lose meaning Ariz magic # is now 1. Even if they win the first game vs Stros, they'll most likely be too hung over and setting up their roster for the last two games. Let's hope that's a good thing.

    I'd prefer the Astros win tomorrow and Cubs lose again. Dbacks get drunk and lose the next 2 as well for good measure.

    Exactly

    I never refer to the Rangers by the "official" name.

    Arlington, Dallas, Ft Worth, and South Oklahoma are the only location.

    Honestly, if I was from Dallas, I wouldn't like that the local baseball team wasn't named for the city. I'm really glad our team is called Houston and not Texas. One of the great paradoxes is that, despite a strong sense of state pride in Texas, the state is anything but unified when it comes to sports.

    But that's the point though.

    Ask now, instead of hindsight type activity you posted.

    Rooting for the Rangers so the Kareners can be eliminated from playoff ASAP. Let them p****** stay home and cry while watching Astros winning the WS once again.

    Projected starters vs Minnesota
    Tues.. G1: Valdez
    Wed... G2: Javier
    Thurs. G3: Verlander

    Projected starters vs Texas
    Sat.... G1: Brown/Urquidy/France
    Sun... G2: Valdez
    Tues...G3: Verlander
    Wed....G4: Javier
    Fri.......G5: Valdez

    Valdez with the all important 2 starts vs Texas.

    The Astros will once again get to the ALCS for the 7th straight year.

    We are not losing to either Minnesota or Texas.

    ALCS
    Verlander
    Javier
    Valdez
    Brown/Urquidy/France
    Verlander
    Javier
    Valdez

    I give us 50/50 odds in the ALCS.

    I will go so far as to say if Seattle loses tonight, we are 100% making the playoffs.

    If they win, I put our odds at 55%.
