Congrats to the Texas Rangers

[Jaypers]

Their first ever postseason series win.

And btw, this was the first ever postseason series in which the road team won every game.

I was pulling for the Rays, but wouldn't have minded the Rangers winning either.

Good luck to them against the Yankees.

 

[Jaypers]

Safe to assume Lee will be the MVP.

Hard to believe theyve never won a playoff series before tonight

Congrats Rangers! Looking forward to Friday night's game.

I have to admit I was rooting for TB 'cuz I think they can give the Yanks' a much better run, but I hope I'm wrong.

And since he's a FA who will probably leave in December anyway, why not just start Lee every game? :lol:

I actually think they'll be some fun, high-scoring games in there and who knows maybe Texas can win 1 or 2 that Lee doesn't start and steal the series...

I didn't think they named a Division Series MVP? Unless they changed it... Correct me if I'm wrong...

Hard to believe theyve never won a playoff series before tonight

I think I even heard that they only had one post season win before this year.

I wonder if Ron Washington is going to celebrate with a little coke.

Nice, the only team left in which I want to go all the way.

Go Rangers!

They won one game in the 96 ALDS against the Yankees but that was it. There have been some horrible Rangers teams over the years which makes this series win even sweeter.

I'd love to see Lee hand the Phillies a few losses in the World Series. Go Texas.

If anybody deserves a ring at this point - it's Vladdy. I'm hoping for a Rangers vs. Phillies WS. I want the Phils to win but if they somehow lose, I'll be happy for Vladdy and Josh Hamilton.

I wonder if Ron Washington is going to celebrate with a little coke.

Was wondering the same thing. I was hoping someone would ask "Ron, how are you planning to celebrate tonight?" in a press conference.

I saw the press conference and he was definitely drinking gatorade.

Was Nolan crying??

I just got home from this game. All I can say is this, next time David Price gets on Twitter to say how it's 'embarrassing' about the Rays attendance, I will write him back and remind him how 'embarrassing' it is to watch a pitcher that can't field his position and/or keep his head in the game. He should be embarrassed. To make a mental mistake is acceptable, to make the same damn mistake twice in one playoff game is unacceptable. Or should I say 'embarrassing.'

Good season for the Rays, was very touching the tribute that Crawford got, however, I was a little perturbed that Carlos Pena was not given the same ovation. It is now official that the greatest player to ever don a Rays uni will no longer play in St. Pete. Carl, you are quiet, you go about your business like a professional, and you will be dearly missed by the fans in this area.

You are absolutly correct. Only MVPs that are named at the LCS and the WS. Good catch.

Classy move by rangers to celebrate with Ginger ale instead of champagne. Show there respect for Josh.

Congrats & good luck. Hope they beat the Evil Empire I will be pulling for them.
