That's what you get for getting your info from ESPN. The Rangers did everything right, and hating them just because they are from Dallas is stupid. Dallas doesn't deserve them, because the organization has turned into a total class act. Claw! Antlers!
They're not in Dallas. They're not called the Dallas Rangers. They are in Arlington. And called the Texas Rangers.
no, you're missing my point. i have a friend who writes for them. a guy i actually know. i have lots of friends from college who are from dallas. they're all obnoxious as hell when it comes to sports. great guys, otherwise. my email inbox and cell phone explode anytime: Houston has a bad day on the field; Dallas has a good day. i don't care about ESPN and info...yada yada yada. it's not about that.
Oh, c'mon. If the Astros franchise were to somehow magically move to Jersey Village tomorrow, they wouldn't be known as the Jersey Village Astros. They'd be the Houston Astros. Dallas sucks. Everything affiliated with Dallas sucks. The Rangers play in Dallas. Therefore, the Rangers (most especially Mr. Hamilton) can go suck a bag of d!(cks.
And they played in Irving, TX before that and were still called the Dallas Cowboys. Hmmmm. I wonder why? They're called the Texas Rangers, not the Dallas Rangers. Get a clue. Everyone knows they're named after the law enforcement agency as a tribute.
But if the Astros played in Jersey Village and they're name was the Texas Rangers, it would still be the Texas Rangers, not the Jersey Village Rangers.
So why weren't they called the Irving Cowboys or the Arlington Cowboys, I mean they don't play in Dallas? http://espn.go.com/dallas/ No **** their not called the Dallas Rangers but their considered a Dallas team.
The same reason the New York Giants and New York Jets aren't called New Jersey even thought they play there. New York sells on items. Not New Jersey. Just like Dallas sells on items, not Irving or Arlington. Marketing 101. You should of learned this in college.
Thank you for so thoroughly proving my point: that Dallas teams and their fans are competely insufferable. And, thereby, reinforcing my statement that the Rangers can suck a bag of d!(ks.
They're a team that citizens of DALLAS support. Their games are shown in what is known as the DALLAS media market. If they win the world series, they will have a parade in DALLAS. Those po-dunk cities you cite are suburbs. They're still considered part of the greater Dallas area. Only reason neither they or the Cowboys play in the city limits of Dallas is that the city leaders are just as dumb as its inhabitants are. Its a Dallas team... therefore its a ****ty team.
And in college you probably should have learned that every sentence needs a verb; and of isn't one. (i never call out grammar unless you're getting all "you should OF learned this in college" on someone) Oh, and the Daltexlington Rangers can kiss my ass.
NOT AT ALL BABY!!!! I listen to 1310 the ticket on the way to and from work every morning JUST to hear the non-stop b****ing and hand-wringing. It's disgusting seeing all these johnny-come-lately Strangers fans pop out of the woodwork and start talking s**t how since they beat the Yankees in the regular season they can go ahead and punch their ticket for the world series!
I didn't prove your point. It was the first time in Texas (Rangers) history they went to an LCS. Thanks for coming out.
