The Texas Rangers history (don't get your hopes up fans) |
|
Texas Rangers (3007-3174 W-L, 1972 - 2010) - 4 Playoff Appearances almost a .500 team for their history. Washington Senators (740-1032 W-L, 1961 - 1971) Overall (3747-4206 W-L, 1961 - 2010) - 4 Playoff Appearances
However, at least you folks get to see a little more baseball. MLB would have hoped for a Yankees San Francisco series, big big ratings. Texas and whoever, uh not so much.

1. Actually, MLB would have wanted another Phillies-Yankees series |
|
But both teams were so hapless, that even MLB couldn't engineer the series it wanted.
This series has the potential to be as interesting and exciting as the Twins-Braves series of 1991, which nobody remembers because everyone was too preoccupied with complaining about how it wasn't the Yankees-Dodgers. Well, boo hoo, but once again, the two best teams are meeting for the championship, and for a change, neither one is the best team money can buy.

2. Getting our hopes up!! |
|
although our own postseason history is also pretty dismal, and even includes a catastrophic earthquake (1989)!

3. Past performance may not be indicative of future results |
|
I guess that disclaimer works for more than just the stock market.

The acrid tears of Yankees fans make the Rangers stronger. You may want to consult this for consolation. http://imgur.com/2VNan

6. Angels have a similar "non-success" rate |
|
1961 - 2002: four playoff appearances, one World Series victory.
Lousy records don't mean a thing.
Go, Rangers!
