    Agreed!
    Even when we took the last series from them 2/3, they still had final laugh with that 17-1 win in the 3rd game.
    We answered not just with one big win, but 3. 3 completely lopsided games where for a while the only pitcher of theirs that didn’t give up a run was a catcher coming in to pitch in a blowout. Just a complete and utter stomping throughout the entire series.. wow.

    Reminded me of a film I'm directing in a little bit called Passion of the Christ 2. First they killed him, now he's back!

    Final game against the Redsox at MMP was 17 -1. Final game against the Rangers was 13-5. Started with a 3-0 lead and Valdez decided to hit Semien...

    And Semien decided to chirp about it. Probably not the best decision he’s made.

    It’s best not to poke the bear.

    Like when that guy who is now on the Rockets decided it was a good idea to light a fire under Lebron last postseason. Haha

    Not too often (ever?) after a series win vs the Rangers do I feel like we beat them thoroughly enough.

    We did this time :D

    The last game of the first Red Sox series was 17-1. We lost to the Rangers 13-5, granted they rallied from a 3-0 deficit and we scored 2 in garbage time.

    You are right, it was Boston that was 17-1, but the final rangers game was still a beat down of us 13-5..

    Randy Arozarena swinging at straight bullshit and the Mariners probably going to win another 1-0 game.

    This series reminds me of the one last season against the Mariners right after the ASB. They were on a roll and were so hyped up about it...calling it their biggest series of they year. Their crowds were huge and rowdy...until we eviscerated them with a sweep. They managed to still play well enough to get swept by us again in the playoffs but the division was over at that point.

    Raley caught stealing when Munoz can't find the zone. Dumbasses.
