I have never read this thread or any rangers thread as they are irrelevant. Holy shit their fans are fucking losers. I am torn because they are also Longhorn fans for the most part, but fucking hell, have some self awareness. You root for a shit team. Be mad at your owner, not the rest of the world. Hookem.

You had a fucking 2.5 game lead with 4 to go and you failed. Blame someone else and not your shit team. Trashtros? Lulz. Self awareness is non existent. 

#607

This is adorable. And a little sad.

For the 9th time in franchise history, the Texas Rangers are playing in the Postseason. Job’s not done.

 

#608

This has been an interesting and fun thread since it’s inception. Hopefully it will continue going forward. Even though the evidence we have to go on thus far makes the outcome redundant, predictable and in the end, boring.

Billboard on I-35 in Farmers Branch. Saw it at 10am Sun morning. Husband and I went back after HOU clinched and it was still there at 5pm! #NotSoFastRangers

I know I should let this go, but this kills me. Earlier today, Rags thread was calling us "Houston Aggy". You know when this board thinks of Aggies, it definitely thinks of routine dominance and multiple recent national championships. 

Astros just won the division for the 6th time in 7 years. The Rangers have 0 in that span.

Astros won the AL 4 times in that span. Rangers 0. 

Astros won the WS twice in that span.  Rangers 0 (ever). 

Astros have utterly dominated the head to head series during that span (79-34 since '17). 

We just had our shittiest season in years. The Rangers had their best and shit the bed on the final weekend. We won the division, again.

So, I ask, if you were looking at this shit on paper, which team would you think is "little brother"?

 

Got damn.... should have ended that post with the Nelson Cruz dropped fly ball pic to take it to 11.

The Astros now have six AL West division titles, one behind the Rangers who have seven.

The Astros have been in the AL West since 2013.  The Rangers have been in the AL West since 1972.

The Astros have also won the NL West twice and the NL Central four times.

We do kind of kick ass.  At least we kick more ass than Arlington.

Victory parade routes after Game 2 of a 7 game series?  Division title billboards before it's clinched?  God damn, Arlington... learn some self-respect and how sports work already.

Fucking bitch ass losers.

The trashstros because the Astros are infamous cheaters and used trashcans. Not because of their trash-level of play. How exactly would self-awareness come into play, considering the Rangers aren't trashcan cheating scum?

All those investigations said Arlington was cheating as much as anyone in 2017.  But you fucking sucked so bad no one gave a damn about your little shit ass team.

The postseason is over and the Astros won it all already? Wow that’s news to me. Congrats guys. Definitely not dropping the ball before crossing the goal line with this one. 

You are literally the dumbest fucking poster on this entire board. Congrats...I guess.

You gotta think bigger. He's the dumbest motherfucker on the entire internet. That's quite an accomplishment.

I'm sorry, but I like Helo.  Dude has grade-A prime troll game.  At least he's not a psychopath like that dipshit that "runs" the Arlington thread.

Literally had more steroid cheats on one roster at the same time than any other club in history. But sure, you never cheated.

I love how I’m 2023 the Astros fans just embrace the moniker and role of cheaters extraordinaire. There was a time it was half-heartedly denied, and then there were the attempts to equate every other team as cheaters to try and make cheating seem acceptable, but now it’s just flat out “we are all pieces of crap and we sold our souls and dignity for hardware but at least we have the hardware!” level of just accepting the malady of the manhood that is being a flagrant cheater.

That was a whole lot of words when only two would have sufficed:

I'm gonna spend far more time than you deserve responding to this, but here goes...

There were plenty of us who felt shameful and embarrassed at first.  Nobody likes to see their team in the headlines for negative reasons, and in the beginning of 2020 it seemed like this was just another misstep for an organization that seemed to make many.  But it quickly became evident that this wasn't about the cheating, it was a Get out of Jail Free Card that allowed opposing fanbases to tap into their darkest selves to scream at the team that has been kicking their asses for a decade.

It's the complete lack of intellectual curiosity to investigate further or acknowledge the countless players who have said the Astros were not alone.  (Carlos Beltran goes from Rangers to Astros and tells his new team that they are behind the times when it comes to sign stealing, yet not a single Rangers fan has the ability to put two and two together.) It's the booing of players who were in the minor leagues in 2017.  It's the villainization of Altuve, who in a sane world would be one of the most cherished men in the sport.  It's the ever shifting rationalization that allows fanbases to celebrate acquiring ex-Astros players while still booing those who have not left.  It's the discussions around the trade deadline acknowledging the lack of talent in the Astros minor league systems, while in the same breath claiming that the Astros were not punished.

We could be on here every single day begging for your forgiveness, and none of it would matter.  Because this isn't about the cheating.

Your fanbase has had a (still ongoing!) 48 hour conniption fit because a beat writer playfully (and accurately) pointed out that the team that popped bottles got shut out the next day while the team that had a mild toast won big, yet you expect me to believe that Astros fans are unique in their unwavering support of their team?  Get the fuck out of here.

That said... best of luck today.  Surely the Rays won't have any pitchers as good as Prelander Berroa.

Thanks for the response and for what it's worth, I think it reflects positively that you felt shame and embarrassment at the scandal. That's a well-adjusted, emotionally healthy response to something as dastardly as what the Astros were doing and did-- proven beyond a shadow of a doubt fact.

But because of the way others responded, you are still justifying Astro fans, such as yourself, minimizing the insidiousness of it all.

I do think that eventually the booing and the hate for the cheating will be dulled and it won't be acute, but I hope it is never forgotten.

 

I'm honestly just thankful that my team's transgressions were merely on the field, and not (hypothetically, of course) the systemic sexual abuse of minor leaguers.  I can't imagine the shame I would have felt had that been the case.
