Boxx Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Go Rangers.... Winning our first playoff series (really special).... Playing the Yankee's in the American League Championship Series (a major task to overcome)... Sitting in Section 30 Row 5 (between home plate and the home dugout) for game one on Friday... PRICELESS! Scratch another item off my "bucket list." Boxx.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 It's the last iteration of the Senators against the yankees. I just hope a musical doesn't break out. I'm holding out for the WS boxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Cliff Lee should give he Rangers two wins in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Texas! You mean Bob Short's legacy to the City of Washington, DC. The moving van puled up in the middle of night and then they were gone to some desert plain called Texas. You know, the one the rednecks stole from the Mexicans. Let see. The playoff history so far. Yankees 9 Texas 1 (wonder how that happened) Have they even played a playoff game in Texas yet? Yanks in 3 and it's a seven game series!

thebes Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets. Lola gets to laugh at those hapless Texan who can't hold onto a 5 run lead. It's like one of those cartoons where the Texan shrinks until he's so small his Stetson covers him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Consider that an early Christmas gift thebes. There's no other way to think about it without severe side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 That was such a nightmare I kept checking the calendar thinking it might be halloween. Boxx, you still with us? Imagine having to witness it up close and in person. It's enough to make you think about becoming a cubs fan. Then at least you know there's no hope.

Boxx Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Let see. The playoff history so far. Yankees 9 Texas 1 (wonder how that happened) Have they even played a playoff game in Texas yet? Yanks in 3 and it's a seven game series! Let see. The playoff history so far. Yankees 10 Texas 2 Have they even played a playoff game in Texas yet? Well.... yes, they did today.... Yanks in 3 and it's a seven game series! I don't think this is going to happen..... It's onward to NYC.... The Yank's need to win three or it's a return, for them, to this lawless, ruthless and yes, "taken," territory to finish the series. Okay... with that said, now to some good music for a Saturday night... The tubes are warming up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Generous souls are we. Willing to let the home town team (rubes) enjoy a momentary feeling of joy, a respite from their ultimate denouement. It's off to the Bronx, where all dreams die. So enjoy the music. Boxx, even with a loss, going to a playoff game must have been a thrill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 The story so far: Yankees: 11 Texas: 4 Series is 3 to 2, or full count as they say in baseball. It's back to the hustings, to a town where I do believe, the home town team has dropped the final two before. Still, whatever happens, good baseball and fun to watch.

oldtimer Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Nothing to be proud of to lose two out of three in hallowed what's its name stadium. Very interesting no doubt. All the world series games seem to be sold out already, dagnabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
