No its not
First off, if you were to compare talent and expectations, the two aren’t even close. The Cowboys were a veteran, extremely talented team that was supposed to compete for the Super Bowl, but fell well short. That is gutless.
The Rangers were not expected to win the WS this year or even make the playoffs this year. For them to make it this far and s till be in this race is nowhere near gutless.
Gutless is the Cowboys at Phili or the Mavs in the playoffs.

No Hart
No Hart, the Rangers have no Hart.
Been wanting to post that for a while, but I don’t think the Rangers had no Heart, just no one leading this team. I like Wash, but light a fuckin fire under this team. Better to burn out than to fade away. And this team is faded faster than a cheap t-shirt giveaway at the TBIA.

Two inches...two inches lower and Rivera wouldn't have made that catch and who knows...mebbe it'd have made a difference
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
How big of a difference would Michael Young have made if he pinch hit for AJ?
Probably not much all things considered,but I’ll take 1 AB from a hobble Young over a healthy Jones.
Just to see what happens.

now we get to worry about whether we are actually going to get better next year or just fade out like the rays did this year
with our offense sucking like it does and no money to get any help, im guessing we fade out again.
not to mention with all the overperforming we did in the rotation, thats probably going to go downhill too.
by mikeyoungfuturehof on Sep 18, 2009 10:40 PM CDT reply actions
I don't see how the offense can be this bad again
Unless virtually nothing is done to improve it over the winter.
The rotation, eh that might be a good point but hopefully a second-year version of Holland and eventually a starting version of Feliz will offset the regression that is bound to happen where Feldman and Hunter are concerned.

Relievers are one of baseballs most volatile commodities it seems
With the exception of guys like Rivera, Papelbon and Nathan there’s really no garuntee how a releiver will perform year to year. All you can really do is try to come into the spring with as big a talent pool to draw from as possible for your bullpen.

is there any big name relievers on the market this year?
by mikeyoungfuturehof on Sep 18, 2009 10:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Quite a few actually
But handing out big contracts to big-name relievers is usually where a lot of clubs get into trouble, for the reasons listed above. You’re better off going the DOD/Grilli route and grabbing guys on the cheap, as we’ve illustrated this year.

The Rays didn't fade out.
They got unlucky. Rays fans still have every reason to be excited about the future.
If the Rangers have a season like the Rays next year I’ll be frustrated, but I won’t be suicidal. And if it doesn’t come with the bad luck, then HELL YES!
pythag record
Rays have looked unlucky most of the year. A sobering lesson in the vicissitudes of baseball luck. Despite all their talent on the field and mostly astute management moves they still seemed to take a step back this year if you only look on the surface.

Scott Feldman – "The greatest Hawaiian-born Jewish baseball player to ever set foot on the mound."
I'd like to hear Josey's take on whose been carrying "This Thing" again.
It certainly hasn’t been his butt buddy Hank F., CD, Kinsler, AJ, or Byrd. It has been MY appearantly. This trainwreck of an offense, has gone completely off the rails since he has been out. And I for one, am tired of everybody ratshit batter that goes to the plate looking to park every pitch in the seats. And am most furious at Kinsler (1-4), who only saw one pitch in his first 2 AB’s which both were flyouts. What in the hell happened to the Kinsler that was hitting screaming LD’s down the 3B line in ST and April?
