    Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

Insane post season for him. And excellent management of him from Boch.

Parade route should go from downtown Ft Worth, I-30 to Arlington, then downtown Dallas, then I-45 to Houston just to fuck with them. 

Nah, man. It's Arlington's parade. They took a chance on baseball, lived through some lean times, gave the team 3 stadiums. They should route it through Six Flags though.

2023 Texas Rangers: As Un-Shitty As They Get

Also Rangers Twitter says parade is tomorrow.

 

Last night was harder than usual to sleep. Still doesn't feel real.

Dude was not a good manager, and he's not much of a 3B coach either, but I don't believe there's a nicer guy in all of baseball than Tony Beasley. Dude got himself a ring now.

I’ve got an answer for the OP.

No - They’re World Champions!

Championship

Motherfucking this.

Although I was clearly being a smartass.

Sometime in April after they smashed someone after losing a couple I posted something about Bochy as manager of the year and the World Series were both still in play.

But yeah, I'm lying out my ass if I believed it.

Do whatever the fuck you want. You only get so many of these in your life my friend. 

Damn skippy!!! When the last out was recorded, I had flashbacks of Keith Jackson's call when VINCE YOUNG SCORES!!!  I was sitting in the bar at the San Luis and the disgruntled Astro fans that were present were much like the D-back fans, totally deflated and headed for the exits.  So glad at age 71 after enduring all of the agony of Ranger baseball to finally exalt in the moment of triumph that winning it all brings.  2005 and 2023 will forever be defining moments in my lifetime of watching and supporting the teams I care about.

Same. Couldn’t turn my brain off and get to sleep.

Still can’t believe this all really happened.

I had to drink a lot and smoke a bowl

I was honestly surprised Ballys didn’t do a longer postgame. After that I turned on Diamond talk. Finally fell asleep at 2a. Woke up at 4a and immediately pumped up and couldn’t go back to sleep.

Reading the first few pages is pretty funny.

This one's special. All but one of my other teams have won their 1st or more championships. Cowboys, Mavs, Texas football/Baseball, Stars. I've been alive but not conscious for them all but nothing can top this. Texas basketball winning it all is all I've got left.

Yep. I posted about it during the ALCS, I think. He was perhaps the worst offender when the Rangers couldn’t protect a lead during their late season 4-18 swoon. He went on the DL and came back the last weekend of regular season.

I think he got the decision on Saturday of the Seattle series. And Bochy immediately went to him against Tampa as the first guy out of the ‘pen in games that we were in position to win. It seems silly to say but he was probably Texas’ most “valuable” pitcher in the playoffs. By that I mean no matter how well Monty or Eovaldi pitched, if the bullpen cratered it wasn’t going to matter. We were going to lose. And Sborz was damn near perfect. He was definitely an unsung hero and I love the fact that he will forever be immortalized as the guy on the mound who threw the final pitch. It’s fitting — the final strike was a breaking ball that caught the top of the box. I think he was surprised it was called a strike. There was the ever-so-slightest hesitation before he realized what he’d done.

Incredible. All of this.

Just in case this hasn’t been posted here’s the parade route:

I got the low profile version of this. I also did not like the championship hat. 

The on-field champ hats and shirts are terrible as per usual. I’ll be snagging other items.

Looks like I am going to have to get a subscription to Sports Illustrated.

So appropriate that this pic includes someone dropping a 5 spot on the Rangers in the top of the 2nd. We've all sat through a bunch of long ass nights like that. They probably lost this game like 13-7.

Make sure you ask the operator for one of the football-shaped telephones.  

I can't even wrap my head around the clutchness of this team from so many different guys.

Fucking Jank. Taveras multiple times even if he was invisible at others. Garver several times including last night with the first RBI.

Can we talk about Evan Carter? As if we haven't -- but Sep-tem-ber. September.

His catch last night (Another one.)

He hit nine doubles, a single postseason record.

I felt we were finally gonna be okay yesterday in whatever inning it was where several guys were being patient and working counts. I think Lowe was one of them. But Carter definitely was.

Or I dreamed it.

Who fucking knows who fucking cares.

Champs.

In 10 years I'll tell people I went to 5 games this postseason and watched them clinch it in Arizona and then I knocked out a security guard and jumped in their pool.

google added a little something if you go search 'Texas Rangers'

Congratulations Rangers fan. Always nice seeing die hard life long fans get thier first title. Know what it means to to the 2nd/3rd generation fans. Thinking alot of family/friends that aren't here to see it.

He got on base in all 17 post season games. He has played incredible baseball and took a weak spot of this team and made it a strength. I don’t think we are here today without his contributions.

Evan Carter wasn’t even on the team until 9/8 and he hit third or cleanup for most of the playoffs — and never looked out of place. He had a 1.6 WAR appearing in just 23 regular season games.

Maybe they’ll throw in a free football phone.

leody - he was cold the past two weeks but the last part of the regular season he was one of the only guys who was hitting.  he had a couple timely hits and made a couple plays on defense that lead directly to wins at a time when no one else on the team was doing those things.

15 of the 29 runs came with two outs. I love that stat. 

Scrolling back through is fun. There's some predictive stuff back then.

I thought this one was interesting, from the opening Philly series.

Hey NY, LA, Boston and all you other bitches who think the baseball sun rises and shines around your collective asses, FUCK YOU, and suck it, suck it good, suck it like it's your mom's nipple. And while I'm at it, fuck OU too.

I finally gave up at 3. I heard Wilonsky call in and Sweaty Jen Olson Guy and... it's kind of a blur. 

I'm still half questioning if it's real.

We got an APB on little Banister tonight/this morning? She may end up like tyne. 

Some unsuspecting bastard definitely got hate fucked by her last night. Guaranteed he looks like he got attacked by a wildcat.
