    Matt Bush, Tim Linceum, Bartolo Colon, Doug Fister, Jesse Chavez ... quite a fearsome five. ;)

    Oh, and Cole Hamels, Matt Moore & Mike Minor too I guess.

    Cole Hamels, Bartolo Colon, Tim Lincecum and Doug Fister. That looks like an awesome rotation......if this were 2011.

    True. But if all those guys were to miraculously turn back the clock, they might give the Angels a run for 2nd in the division.

    The Rangers "know how to win" mantra was still going strong for a good while into the 2017 season. It sucks for Ranger fans if they can't even handle a few months of World Series bragging.

    I pity their 28 season ticket holders. But hey, at least they weren't inconvenienced due to Hurricane Harvey!

    I also presume he's no longer a fan of his no-trade clause.

    I have become a much bigger fan of his no trade clause over the last 6-7 months.

    The Rangers stole this guy's work and posed it as their own

    This is the first time I've ever found anything favorable about Southlake... :D

    https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/te...gers-twitter-making-opening-day-super-awkward

    Southlake police slammed the Rangers on Twitter, making opening day super awkward

    It's opening day for the Rangers and the rest of Major League Baseball. Good vibes and hope abound.

    Unless you run the Southlake Department of Public Safety's Twitter account.

    The police in Southlake would like you to stick to the 45 mph speed limit on East Southlake Boulevard. Speaking of 45, that's how few games they expect the Rangers to win this season.

    This thread flipped nicely since the born date.

    HOU no playoffs and Rangers with -- to -- Rangers no playoffs and Stros with rings.

    After reading "speaking of 45", I fully expected an interstate comment with the Astros being much better.

    Lets hope they win more than 45 games, maybe 65 even. Dont want them with a top 5 pick.
