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 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!
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 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!
Congratulations to my Texas Rangers, who just swept the Divisional Play-offs and will be moving on to the ACLS for the first time since 2011! We’ll be facing either the Astros or the Twins and hopefully, we’ll be moving on to the World Series!
I didn’t post much about the playoffs because I didn’t want to jinx my team by getting too excited or getting ahead of myself. But tonight, I’m excited! Way to go, Rangers! Now, let’s win the ACLS and let’s go to the World Series! Fans like me have been waiting for this moment for 12 years. A lot of people thought it would never happen. But the Rangers are in it!
For the first time since 2016, my Texas Rangers are headed to the MLB play-offs!
I got a little nervous, a few months ago, when it seemed like the Rangers had lost all of their momentum and when I saw that they had fallen behind both the Astros and the Mariners in the standings, I started to prepare myself for another disappointment. I started to feel like it would be another post-season of me having to cheer for the Astros by default. But the Rangers fought back and finally, after seven years, the Rangers have clinched a play-off berth!
CONGRATS TO THE RANGERS! Now, win that final game against the Mariners, win the AL West, and keep fighting until the World Series!
It’s time for a baseball update!
The last time I wrote about the current season on this site, I was feeling mighty cocky because the Rangers were in first place and all the other teams in the AL West were struggling. I was excited and, no matter how many times I said that I knew anything could happen, I really was envisioning that World Series victory in my head.
Now, much later into the season, the Rangers have fallen to third. We are just a few games behind The Mariners and the Astros and anything could happen but it’s still not where I want us to be right now. I’m not even trying to think about the fact that, if they hit a hot streak, the Angels could even catch up to us.
I’m trying to stay positive, though! Here’s every Rangers homerun from August!
Well, would you look at that!
It’s nearly time for the all-star game and my Texas Rangers are leading the AL West! Right now, the Rangers have a 50-34 record. That’s still a little bit too close for me (the Astros are only four games behind!) but it still looks like my team finally has a chance to return to the playoffs! Of course, I don’t want to get cocky. A lot can change during the second half of the season and it usually does. Right now, I’m just happy to see my team with a winning record.
To celebrate, here is every home run (all 42 of them!) that the Rangers hit in June!
Good news! We’ve only got 11 more days to go until the start of the MLB regular season! Will this be the year that my Rangers finally get it together and return to the post-season for the first time since 2016? Even if we don’t make the post-season, can we at least have our first winning season in seven years? I hope so! But even if we don’t, I’ll still be cheering for my team and whoever represents the AL in the World Series!
(Unless it’s the Blue Jays.)
Here’s a video I found of every single Rangers homerun in 2022! Watching it and hearing “Gone!” over and over again has got me pumped up for the season!
Opening day is March 30th! The Rangers will be hosting the Phillies.
