Down the the Yankees, oh yeah!
Mark and Eric were the best play by play team ever!
Great memories.
Here in DFW, you could hear the scream all the way from NY every time TBS showed President Bush on tv.
This series is going to be a precursor to the upcoming elections: total domination by the conservative, hardworking state over the elitest bums from the northeast.
Great post, and congratulations to the Texas Rangers! We're in CT, but have the MLB package and it warms my heart every time I see the fans in Arlington cheer for Dubya and Laura Bush when they attend Rangers games throughout the season. You'd never see that here 'up north'.
I also loved the huge cheer that rose up from the Rangers fans tonight when Josh Hamilton said: "All glory and honor goes to God... Lord Jesus Christ!" Wow. Makes me want to pack up and move to Texas right now... ;-)
Hope he stays good. He’s a great player. One of the best in the game.
Oh so fitting to see A-FRAUD go down swinging as the last out...
AND LOOKING TOO...HAHAHAHAHA!!!
BUH BYE SKANKEES!!
Extremely exciting set of games! Tonight was SWEEEEET!

“I’m thinking that a certain former Rangers owner - and also former President - should start practicing a first pitch...
And remember, Mr. President, in Texas we throw from the mound!”
What a thought. Wouldn’t it be great to see him smoke in another pitch from the mound just like he did right after 911.
Anyone here brave enough to venture over to DU or Kos? Those sites have such poor HTML coding and so much needless eye-candy junk that I avoid them due to the S-L-O-W page rendering. And I haven't even mentioned the disgusting content.
I know that anything even remotely related to Texas (or the South in general) is Kryptonite to those folks. Their poor lil' liberal heads must be exploding tonight. I wish them well. NOT!
It should be a very interesting Series.
Do NOT miss the graphic in #44! (Thanks, GQuagmire) LOL
“I wish I had pics of the old one though, it had a weird charm to it. I remember almost every night at games in the 80’s there were drunken fights in the bleachers”
I saw many a game at the old field. I grew up in North Arlington.
I used to pay $7 dollars to sit in the outfield bleachers. It was real cheap.
It was so cheap everyone had lots of money left to get
really drunk. But lots of fun.
Remember the old stadium with the metal floors and how much noise we made at “Bat Night” with our Buddy Bell Bats?
I try to go once a season, to the all you can eat section that’s about $35 now. I load up on the food..
But, the hotdogs are not as good as you get when you pay.
Usually the most quiet, polite fans in baseball
Boy I certainly saw no evidence last Friday.
Never heard MF screamed at a ballplayer before.
The chants of A-roid etc. Yankees suck and the like may fit well some crowds, but disappointing and offputting to me.
Never felt embarrassed about fellow fans in 35 years of attending games.
Must have been Cowboy fans...
Yep, Buddy Bell was a hero of mine at the time. And the stomping noise was amazing, I’d forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me.
I just briefly went over to both (Grrr... now I need a shower!). Those sites have so much crap on 'em, I really couldn't figure out how to navigate my way around. Anyone else want to try?
Yep. Now I’m a Collin County boy and I only go to one a year too.
What was the deal with the talking head dressed in purple? He looked like a goofy pimp.
Anywhere near Sulphur Springs? I used to go there every week for nearly two years while on a project at Star Specialty.
Maybe it was back when they didn’t win much that they were quiet. I guess when they hit the playoffs, the crowd gets loud.
