I've got hope yes I do. Goooo hope.




Where is the hope guys? WHERE IS THE FAITH? Okay I know where it is it's in the toilet along with other dumps of shit the rangers took this week. I've thought it was over this week I've been close to just giving up on the playoffs all together, but we can be 5.5 games out tomorrow. If we somehow stop shitting, and sweep the Angels we're 2.5 games out with 4 more to play with them. Then it basically would be in our hands. The likelihood of a sweep is not good. I mean our winning against the Angels has to stop, right? Well maybe. But maybe we honestly do have their number, and maybe we honestly do only play well against good teams. But that might be just good enough.

 

 

People talk about how we would need to go like 15 and 2 if the angels went 8-9 or something. When you look at it that way sure it doesn't look good at all. But if we won 6 out of the remaining 7 against the Angels our wins would be their losses. Thats 6 right there, and say they lose 2 to the Yankees thats 8, so they'd need to go basically undefeated against the rest of the games they play. I'm just saying if we sweep this weekend then this season looks entirely different. Don't give up hope till after this series these games still mean something they mean a lot they mean our season, so let's get into it a little, and not be so mopy.

 

 

Did you expect Kenny Chesney to finally admit he's gay? No! But it happened.

 

Did you expect Global Warming was going to take over the world, and make us all.........warm? No! But it happened.

 

Did you expect Tony Romo, and Jessica Simpson getting married and having two kids named Tito and Billop? No! But it happened.

 

Did you expect our offense to suck this season? No! But it happened.

 

Did you expect Scary movie 5 to be good? No! But it was hilarious.

 

Did you expect Brett Farve to come back from retirement? Yes!.......And this is a very bad example.

 

 

Don't lose the hope.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll leave you with a quote from our great leader

This team is finished, and it is time to look to 2010

 

I've never wanted someone to get bit in the ass more than I do now. Let's go rangers.

If the Rangers

win all their remaining games, they will be in the playoffs.

Nah they don't have to do that.

You’re forgetting we can make the angels record look bad the rest of the season just from beating them ourselves.

Nope.

If we win all our games we win 17. In doing so we beat the Angels 7 times. Our magic number is 24. So, If we win out, we make our magic number. That’s if the Angels win every game they don’t play us.

However, after this team took it up the Ass from the A’s, I’m not holding my breath.

I like this plan.

Dear Texas Rangers,

You control your own destiny.

Do not squander your destiny.

Let me tell you something my friend.

Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think hell move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, cant
Move a rubber tree plant

But hes got high hopes, hes got high hopes
Hes got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin low
stead of lettin go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your backs to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought hed punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin that dam

cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

You just don't sit in a rocking chair, when you've built a revolution.

Cheer up

 Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…

    And…always look on the bright side of life…
    Always look on the light side of life…

If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.

    And…always look on the bright side of life…
    Always look on the light side of life…

For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.

    So always look on the bright side of death
    Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

    And always look on the bright side of life…
    Always look on the right side of life…

Yawn.

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Well you never know.

I’m not totally devoid of hope. The Angels have collapsed before, after all. Been a while but they have, and in epic fashion, too.
