[quote name="bullets13000" post="854434" timestamp="1285267876"] I'm hoping they get the yankees.  they seem to match up well against them.  the twins and rays have given the rangers fits all season. [/quote] I agree.  Like I said before, I never thought I would be hoping to play the yankees in the opening round but I think the RANGERS have a better chance against them than they do against tampa bay.  Either way, it is September 23 and we are still talking about TEXAS RANGERS baseball. 

Cliff Lee is scheduled to start today so that should give the RANGERS the edge.  

The magic number is down to 4 and things are looking better for the RANGERS. If the playoffs started today (sept. 23) AMERICAN LEAGUE Rangers (3) at Yankees (1) Rays (Wild Card) at Twins (2) NATIONAL LEAGUE Padres (3) at Phillies (1) Braves (Wild Card) at Reds (2)

If the postseason started today (sept. 17) ... AMERICAN LEAGUE RANGERS (3) at rays (1) yankees (Wild Card) at twins (2) NATIONAL LEAGUE reds (3) at phillies (1) braves (Wild Card) at giants (2) Really hoping this changes.  Don't want to see the RANGERS go to tampa in round 1.

Never thought I would say this, but I hope the RANGERS will get the yankees in the first round.  Seem to match up better against new york than against tampa bay.

I haven't seen the other teams in this district, but I will tell you that Anahuac is good.  It's gonna take a lot to beat those Panthers.

[/quote]I hate to admit it, IMHO the Horns do not stand a chance in this one. I hope they prove me wrong, but from what I have seen against Anahuac & Buna, HF does not have these size to match up with Huffman. [/quote] The Falcons do have some size, but their team speed is what impresses me the most.  The guys they have can run!!!

[quote name="magnus1on1" post="844679" timestamp="1284234855"] [quote author=bigdaddyblue link=topic=72842.msg844651#msg844651 date=1284233280] It all depends who the head coach is and if he will put up with the parents BS.This is not only in sports but in teaching also,parents always think there kid did no wrong its the teachers fault...Parents amaze when you loose 40-0 and there telling there little Johnnie after the game about how great he played and now little Johnnie thinks he played great and coach tells him different and little Johnnie's Dad is at the fieldhouse telling coach he shouldn't talk to little Johnnie that way cause it hurts his self confidence [/quote] Well most coaches coach with a (being closed minded) attitude and they don't think that any parents should tell them how to coach there child. [/quote] I'm not sure if I understand you.  Are you saying that coaches should allow parents to tell them how to coach their child?  That's absurd!!!  How about this, coaches should start telling parents how to raise their children.  Let's see how well that goes over. 

Huffman will win by a lot of points!!! 

Nice article and even nicer kids.  Good luck to the twins on the season.

I'm taking the Tigers!!! 

Man what a great song and even better video.  It was playing on CMT when I got out of the shower this morning.  What a great way to start Friday morning on week 0.  Hope everyone is safe in their travels, wherever they may take you tonight.   

As a coach it's easy to get caught up in the wins and losses, (no matter what anyone says, a coaches job does rely on the wins) but this is a great story.  I'm proud to see the West Brook coaches giving this young man a chance to play and be a regular kid.  This is something that the young man will never forget as well as the coaches.  Keep up the good work and show the world that coaches do have compassion and heart when it comes to the athletes. 

Man, what a rough 4 games for the RANGERS!!!  Need to get healthy and get back on the winning side of things.

Big win for the RANGERS last night.  David Murphy hit a 2-run HR to give the RANGERS a 3-2 lead.  A HR from ARod tied the game at 3 then the RANGERS loaded the bases in the 10th.  Murphy came to the plate and came through with a walk off single.  RANGERS win 4-3. 

Big 2 game series coming up with the yankees.  Would like to see the RANGERS get both wins and prove that they can play with anyone in the majors.

What a great game for Cliff Lee and the RANGERS last night!!!  3-1 in 10 innings.  Walk off HR from Nelson Cruz and a wonderful pitching performance from LEE.  The RANGERS are looking good!!!
