Re: Texas Rangers 2011 Post Season Thread
A lot of DVR and heavy use of the 10-second skip button (perfect for between pitches) on most nights. . . blow through commercials, pitching changes, intentional walks, and innings when they're mailing it in. Plus, it's really the only TV we watch in our house.MedicMan218 wrote:I won't pretend to be the fan that you are.fickman wrote:I was about to start this very thread. . .

I'm glad the other ALDS is going to game 5. I actually fear this Detroit team more than this Yankees team, but I won't profess to prefer one or the other. . . we may get an unfortunate dose of what we ask for if we go down that road.
Beating the Yankees is always sweet, but so would getting revenge on this Tigers team for two reasons:
1) They whooped the Rangers during the 2011 regular season
2) In 2001, I took my girlfriend (now wife) to the game linked here and to this day I use it as a benchmark for explaining life as a Rangers fan (look at the box score! It was painful.):

Yes, the Tigers scored 13 runs in the 9th inning. We stayed until the last out. Why? Because we were Rangers fans. My girlfriend (now wife) asked if we should go, since there were fewer than 100 fans left by the end of the slaughter. I said, "No. We should stay here and watch this. Soak it in. Remember how it feels. Hope to be one of the few to see an historic come-from-behind win. If not, then recall this one day down the road when they win a World Series. The bandwagon fans won't be able to understand what a championship means to us, and we won't be able to explain it, but we stayed loyal even through days like this."
Regardless, we should all hope for an 18-inning game 5!
I wish I could watch every pitch of every game but having been working 80-100 hrs a week for the past 2 1/2 yrs to pay off a credit card(Finally done btw) didn't exactly leave a lot of time for watching ball games.
I will be keeping a closer eye on the post season though seeing as how I can pick and choose which days I work OT now.
I don't discriminate against fellow fans.
The only downside of winning is that I miss the years of having the ballpark to myself and being able to sit anywhere and spread out! That's a small cost for the fun of the postseason.
