Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

You might want to cut Josh a little slack. Despite the fact he said he just misplayed it, playing CF in Oakland during day games this time or year the sun is brutal. Basically the center fielder is looking directly into the sun the entire game and it is difficult for them even to pick up the ball off the bat. As gets later in the day it just gets worse.
Meanwhile we're so giddy in the Athletics Nation this might make up for the Kirk Gibson thing....almost.
lemme tell ya what i saw in the 9th when Balfour put on his show while Nellie Cruz shot him a dirty scowl on his way back to the dugout.
those A's better hope they don't get the mighty pissed off Tejanos in the ALCS.
baseball never forgets.
Good Luck Mike!

I sure hope they get the chance and don't flub up Friday. I'll be there with family in full force Friday night, hopefully we will get to celebrate as the Rangers didn't celebrate when they won the wild card too much

Yall need to share the wealth. The Birds already have at least one World Series title. I just want one.

It's tough to question Buck on any decision he makes. Personally, I would've held onto Tillman for this game and pitched Saunders last game, but given the 3 homers Tillman gave up against the Rays maybe having him face the Beltre/Hamilton/Cruz/Andrus/Kinsler wouldn't have been the best move in the world. At least with Saunders we know he's not gonna get crushed, probably give up 3-4 runs in 7 innings. I think Buck is gambling that our bats can get to Darvish and that we can get 5+ runs. Putting up an untested Steve Johnson with a bad knee against the best lineup in baseball could've been disastrous move, so I can see why he's throwing Saunders up there.
So maybe Darvish cracks under the pressure and the veteran gets the job done. We'll see, should be a good game. I'm hoping for extra innings.

What a great day of anticipation today. I know at the end of the day, they are just baseball games that in the grand scheme of things, really don't "matter" at all unless you are in that industry, BUT, for SO MANY years down here, baseball games in September and October meant absolutely nothing. At least for the past couple years, games in September and October mean something for the Rangers' fans, and helps to engage one's mind away from the normal stresses of life at least temporarily. I know I personally hope they continue to play for at least a couple weeks, cause the distraction helps me from continually thinking about and wondering about how my law school application is going, and what decision the school is going to make on it. Much funner to think about baseball, and the upcoming pitching matchup, and why so and so isn't hitting well, etc. etc. etc. If they can make the World Series, that should last through my application decision time, so that would be ideal.
Go Rangers! Get 'er done this year.
Good luck O's fans, if y'all win, I'll be back to congratulate y'all mid morning.

As far as the Rangers, it's time to start the dismantling. 3 competitive years and they couldn't get it done. I hope they tear it down and start over. Our supposed superstar, Mr Hamilton, has performed dreadful for 3 straight playoff seasons. I wouldn't be dismayed if management has had enough of him and let's him go. Quite frankly, I would love for MLB to discover that he bet against the Rangers and was throwing games so he would be banned for life. That way, no other team would get his prodigious regular season talent. Other then 1 late inning World Series homer last year, he basically did nada when he should have been carrying the team. A myriad of supposed injuries, whimsical attitude, blaming coaches for his getting hurt, and his general diva attitude have gotten me to the point where it's time to say adios to him.
Turn out the lights, this party is over for this years edition of the Rangers. Good luck to every team still left other than the Yankees.
Spring training is about four months away!!!
<< <i>Sorry Mike. I was watching this game and thinking of you and the family sitting there watching it.

Thanks. Tonight was bad BUT I've thoroughly enjoyed spending the season out there with my daughter and creating memories with her. That's what it's all about for me. I'll have to come up with a new past time to fill the void between now and next year. I hate the Cowboys and she doesn't like pro football so that won't work. The Mavs are a little pricey for good seats with my budget but I'm sure we'll make it to a handful. Maven has already asked if we could go go Spring Training next year so I'm considering doing that for her. I'm pretty sure there will eventually become a time where she thinks she's too old or too grown up to go to kids games with dad so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Mike
I can relate to painful Game 6's!
Was I the only one who noticed that it seemed Hamilton didn't care too much? Kind of reminded me of how Lebron acted in 2010.
No killer instinct, passion or leadership. The guy has a ton of talent but the way he has acted recently makes me not want to root for him as much.

<< <i>Despite the loss, Maven was up early this AM and wanted to make a Rangers themed Halloween costume, so we spent a couple hours making this together. She's a baseball card. I love that girl!
