The Rangers Are Going To The World Series!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

They went into the playoffs as definite underdogs.  A lot of people said they wouldn’t even make it through the Wild Card.  They said there was no way they’d sweep the Orioles.  They said the Astros had all the momentum in the ALCS.  The Astros and their fans certainly were quick to let you know that they were expecting an easy victory.

Well, guess what?

THE RANGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!

There’s a saying.  The only thing better than winning a game is winning a game against The Astros.  The only thing better than winning a game against the Astros is winning a game against the Astros in Houston.  And the only thing better than winning a game against the Astros in Houston is winning a game that sends you to the World Series!

I AM SO PROUD OF MY TEAM!

The Astros put up a good fight whenever they were in Arlington but, in this end the was the Rangers’s year.

GO RANGERS!

The Rangers Tie Up The ALCS!

We are going to Game 7!

Tonight, the Rangers defeated the Asstros, winning by a score of 9-2!  With this victory, the Rangers tied up the ALCS.  The next game will determine who is going to the World Series and I can’t wait to cheer my team to what I hope will be a Rangers victory!

The best part of tonight’s game?  Adolis Garcia, who was deliberately hit by an Asstros pitch during the last game, got his revenge by hitting the grand slam that let Houston know that they weren’t going to stage a comeback in the 9th.

Go Rangers!

The Astros Now Lead The ALCS

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

This game was painful!

The Rangers went into the ninth leading the Astros but then Jose Altuvie hit his 26th season post-season career home run and the score went from being 2-4, Rangers to 5-4, Astros.  The Rangers always seem to struggle at home but the good news is that, lately, Houston has been struggling at their home too.  The ALCS is returning to Houston so let’s hope the Rangers can turn things around.  The Astros are one game away from returning to the World Series and, if they’re joined by the Phillies, it’ll be another years with two most hated teams in the league fighting it out in the World Series.

Normally, I’d cheer for Astros in that case but I might not this year.  Not after Martin Maldonado deliberately hit Adolis Garcia with a pitch.  Way to keep up classy, Houston.  It would take a lot to make me support a team from Philadelphia but the Astros are really determined to help me do it.

Go Rangers!

The ALCS Is Tied Up

That was brutal.  Tonight, the Astros won Game 4 of the ALCS by a score of 10-3.  The ALCS is all tied up now.  You all know I’m a Rangers fans so tonight’s game was hard to watch.  But if I’m going to brag whenever the Rangers win, I guess I have to be willing to acknowledge when they get beat, too.

I’ll always love my team no matter what happens but I hope tomorrow’s game is a better one for the Rangers.

Go Rangers!

Congratulations to the Rangers For Still Leading The ALCS!!!

Congratulations to the Texas Rangers for continuing the lead the ALCS by 2 games to 1!

Tonight’s game was difficult for me, as a Rangers fan, to watch.  The Astros won the game by a score of 8-5.  The Rangers did come alive for two innings and they managed to narrow the Astros lead down to three runs but, in the end, the Astros came out on top.

I know there was a chance this would happen.  The Rangers have been undefeated in the playoffs up until tonight and it’s rare for any team to keep up that type of streak.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better game for my team and we’ll clinch that third victory on our way to four.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Win Game Two of the ALCS!

GO RANGERS!

That was a scary game.  The Rangers started out by getting four hits during the first inning but the Astros kept chipping away at that lead and showing why you can never count them out.  The Rangers held on, though, and won by a score of 5-4!

We’re now 2-0 in the ALCS!  I’m so proud of my team!

As for the NLCS tonight, I can’t stand the Phillies so I hope they win so my Rangers can beat them in the World Series!  But even if the Diamondbacks win, I’ll be celebrating tonight!

The Rangers Win Game One Of The ALCS!

The Rangers did it!

Sure, I would have liked to have won by more than a score of 2-0 but the important this is that the Rangers won the first game of ALCS!  They went into the game as underdogs to the Astros and they’re coming out as winners!  There’s still more games to go and the Astros should never be counted out but this is definitely a good way to get things started!

Go Rangers!

Tonight, the Rangers and the Astros will be meeting in Game One of the ALCS.  It’s the first time that these two teams have played each other in the postseason.  It’s the first meeting of Texas’s two baseball teams and one of those teams will go on to the World Series.

Yeah, I’m nervous.

When the Astros previously went to the World Series, I cheered for them.  Even after all of the cheating was revealed, I still cheered for the Astros because they were representing my home state and the American League.  But, after a ten-year play-off drought and after sticking with this team through so many disappointing seasons, I want my Rangers to finally return to the World Series.  The last time we went to the World Series was in 2011.  The Rangers were the better team but they still lost to the Cardinals.  I want this to be a year when the winner of the World Series is not only a Texas team but also my team.  This year, I want to see the Rangers defeat the NCLS and if that means they keep Philadelphia from winning the World Series, that would be even better.  Sorry, Astros.

It won’t be easy.  The Rangers often struggled against the Astros during the regular season.  But no one gave the Rangers much of a chance of sweeping the Rays and the Orioles either.

Either way, it’s going to be a great ALCS between two great Texas team.  Go Rangers!
