Urias is pitching a no fucking hitter.

Well isn't this conflicting lol

Think we could get Hamels/Darvish at the trade deadline?

>won

>Yaks

>10 motherfucking Captcha's

For me, it's gotta be the injuns

No trade clauses

no one likes you or your fanbase. kys

Apologize for what?

>Bucs stop here? Urias dealing no-no
I hate the writers for MLB.com

Guess a 4-run lead wasn't enough

Are baseball cards worth buying anymore?

Back to the grocery store

>doyers

they went out of fashion when the 90's ended

>toles hurts himself trying to preserve the no-hitter
>fails anyway

Lmao. Your team's shining moment was getting embarrassed in the WS and your ace pitcher not winning a single postseason game.

Are there any neat aps or some shit people mess around with?

You think they'd want to stay on the Rangers with the team how it is right now?

It's gonna be Hellickson or Ervin Santana
Although Stroman would be a nice addition as well

Mets

>stroman
>'nice addition'

Why are diastro fans so greedy? You're gonna take your table scraps and you're gonna like it

Going for 29 in 2017!!!

there are card apps, but they all require massive microtransactions. They just aren't worth it.

I was alive to watch the Dodgers win the World Series in 88. Ask me anything.

Didi Gregorius.

Prove me wrong.

You have just been sent to the shadow realm.

holy fuck that was DISGUSTING

MARINERS!

fun game tonight desu

>the three pitch strikeout of Tomas

You are a disaster. You are an Astro. Put them together and you get the picture.

I'm not black I'm Dominican you racist shithead

>Sign Lucroy, Gomez, and Beltran at the last minute in order to get to the WS
>Get blown out by the Blue Jays (again)

Who's the greedy one here?

>rags

I went to minute maid a couple of weekends ago, and I'm always disgusted by how much they pander to the Hispanic market, and I'm Puerto Rican.
>There's literally a "pick which Goya can has the baseball in it" minigame on the video board between innings
wtf is this shit?

>Dominican
>Not black

>snesk

MARINERS!

What does a random company buying a little game on the jumbotron for ad space have to do with "pandering to the Hispanic market"?

You might as well get mad at the Giants for having a giant coke bottle in AT&T park because it's "pandering to the white market"

Okay. I get the hockey >rags hate
but why are Texas Rangers hated here?

For once the Tiggers bullpen didn't poop itself to death.

No one likes a bully :(

But we like when bullies get bullied :)

UpGOD

>the leaking urinal of pissboi

There's a bunch of shit like that though, like Latin music playing before the games (no, it isn't walk-up music). I've only been to two games there, so it might not be like that all the time. Not even the Rangers do that

Sour grapes and sour grapes

>Carrasco sauce: Carlos too hot for Blue Jays
someone got paid to write this

Does he think urinals are water fountains?

we aren't 'hated' here, the al west is sort of overlooked as a division in general. But we've had the most success out of the all the clubs cumulatively over the last decade, and haven't been able to close the deal. So it's a combination of jealousy and mockery.

Kek, that's been going on since as long as I can remember going to games (so at least since '04).
It is dumb, but it makes sense for a business standpoint. All the black people around here only watch the rockets and Texans, the white rednecks only watch the Texans, the asians/Indians/pakis only watch the rockets, and the illegal hispanics/euros only watch soccer, so that pretty much leaves non-redneck white people and legal hispanics to watch baseball. And there are a lot more hispanics than non-redneck whites. So they keep catering to them.

By that I mean their fans towards other teams, especially during game threads. Not to mention them getting BTFO for all their trash talk is hilarious.

how bout them Os hon

It's pretty comical really. I went when they gave out Correa jerseys last season, and I think I saw more Puerto Rican flags in the ballpark than anywhere else in my life. I didn't even know Texas had a huge Puerto Rican population

so it's basically the same as in NHL
wierd coincidence

>Justin Wilson named Tigers closer

praise the lord

Umm sorry sweetie, we only talk about the Dodgers in this house.

Os? Orange Ducks?

This , they talk a big talk but can never back it up.
Funniest thing is when they post about how "OBSESSED" and "jealous" other fans are. It's wild.

>rangers
>haven't won a playoff series in 6 years
>bullies

bullies
>:(

Case in point. An obsessed Lastros fan bitterly shitposting whilst wiping stinging tears from his eyes at the fact that the Rangers team and fans all line up to fuck his mother.

i kinda hate the rags desu

Josh Hamilton murdered a fan in cold blood on live TV.

How's that cunt been for you guys? I couldn't stand watching him throw 832932 fastballs in an inning, just to have 90% of them be fouled off

Test

is that guy covering up an erection?

>i kinda hate the rags desu

Don't we all, user, don't we all.

Blown JUSTin Wilson save incoming.

>Lastros
>His team is bringing up the rear this year

Absolutely hilarious, even when you guys are dead last you still try to talk shit

Here's a quick rundown:

>The oldest Franchise in baseball to never win a World Series
>Didn't make the postseason for 36 years of existence
>When they finally did, they played the Yankees 3 times in the division series and won just a single game in all 3 meetings
>Didn't make it past the first round until 49 years of existence
(Continued in next post)

Kinda his mistake that he jumped for the ball

We aren't last in the division look at our record we are 20-14.

He isn't playing for us anymore but he was really, really awful. Like moreso than most closers that come to Detroit and suddenly implode. We have K-Rod now who blew two straight saves and was replaced today.

Never mind, it literally won't let me post the rest of the >rags pasta

Lmao my pitcher managed to finish the 7th inning without giving up a run like a choking shitter

>rags

>he doesn't give his players a reach around to keep their heads in the game

Why the HECK is that pasta not allowed to be posted?

what pasta?

is he a good boy dindu?

The one that starts with
>The oldest Franchise in baseball to never win a World Series
And ends with
>Is it even possible at this point for the >rags to add to this lofty list of cartoonish tragedy?

No. He is a druggie and a cheat. He should join Jenrry Mejia.

it's pretty much the same as NYR

just so you are in the picture:
>one of the original 6 teams (1920s)
>haven't won a cup since 1994
>4 cups in 90 years
>currently trying to get the cup again, can't make it past Round 2 though
>trading draft picks for washed-ups that will inevitably fall-off in few years (I'm looking at you, Nash)
>desperatly trying to use the window that's about to close real soon
>having a AA+ superstar goalie but otherwise a meh offense and shit defense

The future is not bright...

...

>opening day

Does she know it's not a 1 game season?

it's a natural reflex for a rags fan

she can't help herself

The sneks just showed me you don't need to have Fernando Rodney to blow a close game.
