Nice team and season, Astros fans

---

Yep pretty impressive. Won't say congrats, and I hope they lose quickly, but that was a damn good turnaround. Much respect.

---

I'd rather lose quickly in the playoffs than not make it at all

---

Ya think?!?!

---

I'm just saying… I can see it now if the Astros get bumped before the World Series. Rangers fans will be vocal even though they didn't get invited to the party

---

And here they come

---

You called it

---

This isn't some dunk on rangers fans, you are just positioning yourself so you can act like a genius once the other team very predictably starts trash talking. Which we have every right to do just like every other fan base in history when a rival goes down

---

Y'all are running your mouths after failing to make the post season at all though... Big difference between Yankees, Orioles, Braves, Tigers, Royals, Dodgers, Mets, Padres, Indians, Phillies or Brewers fans and y'all.

I think I myself can admit that I talked a little too much trash this year given that my team really wasn't that great.

Let's renew the rivalry in more important games next year

Oh, so *now* the Arlington bunch shows up to talk trash. Okay.

In reply to Grapesoda2525 Because we need to let off SOME steam after the collapse the last two days

If it was so predictable and you all are so smart that you knew it was coming, then why ***** about it?

We figured you guys were gearing up for Mavs mode, since the Rangers are vacationing in Cancun, and the Cowboys are playing like they are.

Any rangers fans have any advice on how we should spend the rest of our October? Haven't ended the season this early since Trevor Knight was leading the Aggie football team

Also yeah looks like both of our teams sucked this year.

---

We're only a couple of days ahead of you. What I've found relaxing is rooting against our arch rivals in the playoffs. I guess you're out of luck. Hopefully next year, though.

---

Arch rivals?

Don't yall like to brag that you don't care about us?

---

I thought y'all didn't care about us. I would consider the Astros and Rangers rivals. Intrastate, intradivision, etc, etc. I will say, it's only been since Houston came to the AL so it isn't a lifelong rivalry

There's also TexAgs posters who convinced themselves that we aren't rivals with the sips.

Astros and rangers are for sure rivals. And we will hate watch each others games for the next decade or so

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute now. The name of the team is 4 Time AL West Division Champion Astros, sir.

Get it right next time. Thanks.

Another effin' loser. Where have you been Grape?

You'd definitely know a loser when you see one. You've been watching some all day long.

---

Then what does that make your beloved Rangers?

---

The still reigning champs and last Texas team to win a playoff game at Minute Maid and no asterisk titles making us equal...?

In reply to Cappo You sure need to put in a **** ton of qualifiers in there to make us "equals"

In reply to htxag09 Only the legit titles makes us equals in that post

Hate all you want but there's no asterisk in the record books. Just in your sad, little Rangerette minds.

In reply to Cappo Struggling to make a post without editing it?

Don't really care what an internet tough guy says, mlb shows us with 2 titles.

In reply to Cappo How did the Rangerettes do this year?

You guys are the TAIPS of Major League Baseball!

In reply to RC on a Mobile We accomplished the same as the *asstros*...did I do the silly name calling shtick right?

The last time the Astros didn’t make the ALCS…

- Obama was president
- Jackson Chourio was 12 years old
- Taylor Swift’s latest album was 1989
- The newest iPhone was the iPhone 7
- Cars 3 wasn’t out yet
- The Broncos were reigning Super Bowl Champs
- Aaron Judge was a rookie

— MLB Metrics (@MLBMetrics) October 2, 2024

- Kevin Sumlin hadn't lost to UCLA yet and Trevor Knight was our QB
- Kellen Mond was in high school.
- Chiefs fans were upset about drafting Patrick Mahomes so high
- Shohei Ohtani was an unknown to most MLB fans
- Kirby smart was in the middle of a 7-5 season
- today's high school seniors were in 4th grade


Its been a hell of a run

Congratulations to Houston. You won as many playoff games this season as the Rangers did

In reply to htxag09 Lmao sorry for making a typo and fixing it guy

In reply to tjack16 And yet they have the same amount of legitimate WS titles as the Rangers.

Are the Braves and Marlins equals? The Braves have won two titles since they moved to Atlanta as have the Marlins since they came into MLB. Which team would you rather be a fan?


Have the Effin' Dodgers and the Angels been equals over the past 35 seasons? Both have only one title over that period of time. If you lived in SoCal which team would be more enjoyable to follow over that time period?

In reply to Cappo

Sorry, Astros. Tough way to go out. Looking forward to both teams being healthy and making sure the World Series runs through Texas again next season.

I didn't necessarily WANT the Astros to win, but I did find some joy at the thought of seeing New York squirm at the thought of the World Series trophy staying in Texas 3 years in a row

I think New York would have crushed us if we made it that far. IMO we likely weren't even getting past Cleveland even if we beat Detroit. Just not good enough offensively to sustain any success

You are one of 18 teams in MLB history to win a WS and then post a losing record, and several of those did it on purpose (Marlins, for example). Your team hasn't accomplished crap in their franchise history to collectively match the Astros run over the past seven years.

Cope all you want. Crow after your season is over to rub salve on your "title defense" effort. Your team participated in the lowest watched WS in history, then followed it up with an impressive nosedive back to mediocrity.

Congrats on being a one-hit wonder.

In reply to Marvin The Astros are 1 of 1 teams to win* a World Series that no one acknowledges due to a massive cheating scandal.

No one important. The only ones with their panties in a wad are Rangers fans and Joe Kelly. So congrats on being linked with a psychopath with a pouty face.

The trophy case and record books on the other hand suggest otherwise.

Well look at that, turns out both teams are frauds

Anybody who says the Rangers have accomplished as much as the Astros is totally out of it Bro

Another Ranger fan that was all over this thread at the beginning of the season but went missing in July has returned.

One team was more fraudulent than the other.
