    One of the most embarrassing collapses by a favorite in its sport that I've seen is a good while. Seems like they are playing out the string now. They look like they quit on Dusty. Not shocking.

    I heard Duster last week bragging "I can tell when a player is about to get hot, and I can tell when a player is about to go into a slump"

    He's ****ed this team chemistry all up and maybe pushing off Gurriel had something to do with it also, But his meddling in things he doesn't know about like pitching has cost this team dearly.

    They’re about to get one. It’ll all be over in a week, at the most.

    Remember when we were a 97% favorite to make the playoffs a week or two ago?

    The whole pitching staff has been a collective failure this season. It’s okay, though.

    Lots of good baseball folk thought that and it looks like they will all be wrong.

    Dont underestimate the heart of a broken clubhouse.

    At least I'll have some sort of an interest in the postseason.
    The rangers must not win

    At least we have motivation for next season. This collapse is epic.
