Don’t count chickens before they hatch, but Rangers are up three games to one on the Yankees. This could be their year.

It’s been said that baseball is 3 minutes of action packed into 3 hours. But when it comes to the playoffs, every pitch, every move has meaning. It is unbelievable how exciting playoff baseball is compared to the regular season, (although I do love baseball, even in the regular season).

I’m glad I got to experience my home team in the playoffs. Sadly, I won’t live long enough to see them go back. The Indians are terrible, and their ownership is even worse. And, due to that inept management, coupled with the crappy baseball salary structure, Cliff Lee ended up in Texas. You’re welcome Texas.

Congrats, and good luck. I’m pulling for the Rangers.

I also had no idea that we were one competition away from going to the World Series ...

Spoken like a true sports fan (sarc/)

If you want to live a long time, live by my creed.

I will live long enough to see the Chicago Cubs win the World Series.

I like the Rangers, but I’m also a big fan of Lance Berkman, and wouldn’t mind seeing him get a ring. My loyalties are divided in this series.

Family members are in Arlington today to bury a friend who was killed in Afghanistan.

I will be attending the funeral today of a 15 year old family member killed in car accident.

So forgive me if I don’t see the point of this title.

"But how could they? The Rangers have never been to the World Series. They never have, and they never will. At least not in my lifetime. I mean c'mon! The Rangers?! The Texas Rangers?! Out of Arlington, TX?!

It's not going to happen. It can't happen, because if it does that means I'm going to die soon.

Well much to my delight, or perhaps my demise, I noticed tonight that the Rangers are now up 3-1 in the series. One more win and nothing short of the apocalypse will keep them from going to the World Series. And if they can beat the Yankees 10 to 3, and even shut them out 8 - 0, in Yankee Stadium, then they could come home with the crown.

So as part of my last will and testament, I, Réne Evan Girard, being of blown-away mind and body, do hereby bequeath all of my earthly goods to those who will surely pilage and plunder in victory celebration because they believe they can get away with it ... because it's the end of the world ... or at least my world ... because I swore there was no way the Texas Rangers would ever make it to the World Series, much less win it, in my lifetime.

Yep. I'm a dead man."

I am a serious as they come Yankee Fan.

Win or lose, I’ll never equate their status in the league/division/world series with living or not.

Baseball is amusement for me. Serious amusement (oxymoronic mahaps?) but amusement in the end.

I don’t understand why we have to title things with such drama.

Misleading titles to lure people to read tripe?

And not even tripe about politics or war or the great ethical questions of our time, but tripe about a sports team?

Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ten out of ten on the “lame” scale!!!

Well, Mr. America's Team, after having endured twenty years of lost hopes and false starts as a Deadskins fan, and now seeing a glimmer of hope in our new regime (we were thisclose and a bad tipped ball on the last play from beating the Colts even without Haynesworth on Sunday), I can feel for ya. I can't quite reach ya, but I can feel for ya.

P.S.: Tony Romo is gay.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
