2023 ALCS • Rangers vs Astros

[utahorn]

I

'm good at being right.

I expect you to be right. Go Rangers.

 

[theiioftx]

Rangers in 6 over Philly. And get ready for the worst fans in sports.

 

[X Misn Tx]

This one's tougher to pick since the lose-at-home Astros aren't involved.

Texas in 5 over AZ or Texas in 6 over Philly.

Strangely the Rangers are undefeated on the road this postseason. Astros aren't unique here.

I had a bad feeling before the game last night. The Astros struggled all year at home. Weird but I really thought they would lose. Its tough being too disappointed with everything the Astros have accomplished. Can't win every year and no reason to think we can't compete again next season. Hook em!

 

[WorsterMan]

Top 3rd...

AZ vs. Philly tied 1 - 1

2003, nobody wants their team to lose.

However, as an Astro fan, you can live off the 7 year (or whatever it is) dynasty the Astros have enjoyed in the AL West, AL championships, World Series champs!

Astros got a trophy case full of recent awards and an outfield full of pennants and banners for their success.

Savor them, dynasty's dont last forever....

Aint it the truth. Nothing is guaranteed and its been quite the ride!

B 4th 2 - 1 Philly...

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Arizona is looking salty.

 

[mb227]

Whoever wins tonight has their hands full. Phillies have a fresh pitching staff and they're really feeling it the plate

Should be a good softball game...or golf match since Phillies stumbled like Houston did...

 

[mb227]

If they HAVE to pull the reptile.....

Just as I typed that here comes dusty with a hook

Gonna be tough for the Astros I think

Ultimately, Dusty AGAIN mismanaged the staff. No qualms with Javier being pulled and Maton finishing, but France and Brown were starters earlier in the season. Both could have gone at least three innings instead of using EIGHT pitchers.

Dusty cannot be gone soon enough!

Well obviously wrong. Rangers in 5.

 

[WorsterMan]

Well obviously wrong. Rangers in 5.

Well, you were right that Philly has THE WORST fans in all of world sports!!

Any chance the D-Backs bring up Melendez to pinch hit or something...?
(are they allowed to / 40-man roster?)

Ivan Melendez cranks 30th homer | 08/17/2023

 

[WorsterMan]

Chop, your probably being provocative, but at the same time you are terribly disgraceful to yourself with your new avatar!

 

[Chop]

OMG Chop, your probably being provocative, but at the same time you are terribly disgraceful to yourself with your new avatar!

Oh, I very much want the Rangers to win, but I still like Melendez.

As for the new avatar, I was looking for a great statesman, some modern person on the level of Cicero.

I don't think I could ever bring myself to root against him. Like Earl, Major, Sam, Gardenhire, I would pull for him every game

Vince, too

 

[guy4321]

Wouldn't surprise me to see the Astros spank Texas in all 3 games in Arlington then have the Rangers win games 6 and 7 in Houston.

This one's tougher to pick since the lose-at-home Astros aren't involved.

Texas in 5 over AZ or Texas in 6 over Philly.

What do you guys want me to predict next?

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

Kentucky derby please....

 

[HornHuskerDad]

What do you guys want me to predict next?

Don't waste your superb prediction ability on sports - tell me which stocks to buy before they double in the next year.
