Pure beauty in the eyes of a long suffering Ranger fan...the Rangers had a pathetic 1-9 record against the Yankees in post-season games until this year......this is our year.

If only Girardi had pulled Robertson as fast as he gave the hook to the guy in the Taco Bell commercial...

Hahah. Not for nothing, I fucking love that commercial. Shit makes me crack up every time I see it.

Cosmo,





I have no delusion of the Rangers easily winning the World Series...but I do think that Lee/Wilson is as good a match-up for Halladay/Oswalt as there is in MLB.
 
No disrespect to the Giants - who are a cool team to root for - but a Philly-Texas WS w/ the potential for two Lee-Halladay match-ups would be all kinds of incredible.
 
Oh dude I'm not saying Texas isn't hard as nails... They're killing it. But it's not your year for the series, if for anything it will be for lack of postseason experience. None of this is going to be a cakewalk, for any of the 4 teams as we all have seen. But this shit is incredible, and the idea of a Philly / Texas Series is on some facemelt shit, word Mao. Halliday VS Lee -> Matchup for the ages no question.

There are even scenarios where you could have THREE such matchups.

Lee has never pitched on three day's rest and they're going to make him do it twice? I guess he's a rental anyway, why not Tommy John him.
 
why you say hes a rental?


is he definitely gonna go get that yankee money when seasons out? id hate to see that.


shouldnt be right for a team to buy up dudes who kill them regularly

He was apparently headed to the Yankees at the trade deadline but Seattle backed off what Cashman was offering at the last minute & went w/ Texas' deal (which Seattle is apparently now regretting). Yankees are gonna back up the truck for Lee; his other deepest pocketed suitor, Boston, stupidly spent the $ they could have offered him on an injured Beckett & lacking Lackey. I'd say chances are great he'll end up in pinstripes next season unless Texas wins it all this year & he re-signs.

As much as I think there is a possibility of Lee being tantalized to pick up a briefcase with the rest of the Yanks, he might be looking for more than just money on the table after part of a season with the Rangers' clubhouse. The dude has a family and the Rangers' environment is pretty tempting for players that want a healthy team and familial atmosphere. If the Rangers can break out close enough compensation and Texas even just goes to the World Series, not necessarily wins out, Lee has reason enough to stay. Basically Rangers' team dynamics + comparable but less pay > Yankee money and prestige. Hamilton is in the Rangers organization for these reasons. Just look at how much care has been given to his drug/alcohol habits by the team.

Believe me, the last thing I'd wanna see is him end up w/ the Yankees. But I think him re-signing w/ Texas may be contingent on them not just getting close but winning it all this go round. I know it's a new ownership group but will the Rangers wanna sink all that $ into one player again after seeing how it crippled the franchise w/ A-Rod? Maybe if their half season rental of Lee this year yields a ring, in which case they're already ahead on whatever bigger investment they pull the trigger on.
