and the war begins…..

that was awesome

C’mon, it’s not like they’ve got anything better going on there. They are probably all tired and need a nap from crying due to MJ’s demise.

Ignore. Next.

he conveniently skipped the few posts PRAISING the Rangers for having a good team this year.

Selective whining & bitching at it’s finest

Note that most of the comments were – well, a little more rational. We’ve a lot of games left with one another, and I look forward to all of them.

He is right that it is STILL too early to think we have it in the bag.

And there are really cool people in Texas and it really is a nice place but to be bashing on EVERYBODY in California is really dumb.

You can’t blame him though, I mean, look at his name- “Kinslers_Better” he’s just butthurt that Kinsler is not doing so well right now.

What a chode!

something we’re aware the rangers are unfamiliar with, but still…you’re supposed to hate the team you’re fighting against for the postseason.

n00b

too funny

Lone Star Ball, we a gonna ruin your birthday!

1) You defend country music
2) You describe yourself as “blonde hair blue eyed girl loving, Texan”. Although, that might also make you a white supremacist.
3) Describe a blog’s name as “or something gay like that”.

Forget red-neck…skinheaded retard is probably closer to the truth for this guy.

Classic. I also love the way he spelled “geniouses”. What the hell is that, some kind of Texas turd-blossom eating fowl?

(… Rev misspelled Arctic in his original post too, but that shall be ignored)

that everyone is talking about… I wasn’t able to follow the game thread for the whole game and must have missed it

thanks

His assertion they would win the division for the next ten years was my favorite part.

So much for not having young talent:

Morales
HK
Aybar
Wood
Naps/Mathis

That is a whole freaking infield moron.

As someone born and raised in South Orange County and a resident of Texas for the last 20-odd years, pleased allow me to point out that folks on both sides look just a tad foolish flinging tired and grossly incorrect stereotypes around.

I’d also like to remind everyone that a person or a handful of people on a commenting on a blog do not an entire fanbase make. The barely-literate clown on LSB is no more representative of the vast majority of Texans than clown-queen Nancy Pelosi is representative of the vast majority of Californians.

All that being said, screw the Rangers and their fans. :)

(no offense to SBN, it WAS just a joke)

Yeah, that doesn’t ring a bell. As for GMJ, you can have him back, I’ll even throw in some Disney dollars and a Double-Double.

Rex’s stash of crack has made everybody happy

Is killing me over in the LSB blog. He’s pretty funny.

A few quick points why I despise the Rangers, despite the crap stadium:
1) Thanks for Bush.
2) Tex-Mex is crap. Why mess up properly good Mexican food?
3) All your hot blondes work at that theme titty bar in Arlington.
4) Bumpkins? No … Idiots, yes.
5) Too many locusts.
6) None of you on your Smooth Urban Country Radio Station realise that Keith Urban is actually from New Zealand.
7) No, you can’t have Gary Matthews, Jr. back.
8) You should be embarrassed to know who Miley Cyrus is. … oh, yeah, it’s that country thing again.
9) Roid Central: Ass-Rod, Palmeiro, Juan-Gone, etc.
10) RED is OURS. See you in 2010.

Trolls are silly, too.

Be like The Soth; focus on the Angels.

I grew up in Anaheim, so I am an Angels fan. I didn’t choose where I grew up, my parents did, and I didn’t even choose them. Some people grew up in Dallas, so what? I don’t especially like DFW, it’s too hot and muggy, and they throw “liberal” around like a curse word, but whatever. I live in Boston now and I don’t like New England either. I’m a baseball fan first, I like good baseball. I don’t begrudge Texans for being Rangers fans. What, do we expect them to be Angels fans? I’m sure that most of them are baseball fans too, so we have a lot in common.

What does bother me is when people are team fans instead of baseball fans. Like all the annoying college kids who move to Boston from thousands of miles away and instantly jump on the Red Sox bandwagon. Or the people in Red Sox jerseys in Anaheim who have never even been to the Northeast but like to cheer for a trendy, successful franchise. But random, incoherent region-bashing is just pure “fanism,” and it embarrasses me to be in the same camp. It doesn’t even matter if it isn’t supposed to be taken seriously. To some people other than me it is deadly serious. You may say that it is only a game and so it doesn’t really matter, but shouldn’t the fact that it is a game be all the more reason to not elevate it to the level of ad hominem attacks and stereotyping? Leave that shit to politicians.

I don’t have anything else to add. Flamewars are not very interesting anyways. I’m just going to watch the games. You know, the things that happen on the field.

didn’t mean to start a flame war. I just found it amusing that he expects us to not mock our division rivals. It’s what all fans do on occasion.

When a Texan rants about anything, I am as about affected as I am when the lady down the street with the 7 cats offers tips on how to save my family during the oncoming rapture- i.e. not very.

What’s the hold up with the secession plans? I’d be happy to help y’all pack, ya hear?

we have 15 games left with Texas
10 of which are at the Big A

A purpose for this photo I took in San Mateo Canyon last summer:

dude just got blasted by someone. I’d say one of his own but the guy wouldn’t appreciate the connection

As fun and sporting as that might have been, the one post I ever did place over at LSB was to thank them all for their gracious support here on HH upon the loss of Adenhart.

I wouldn’t feel right to go over there and trash up their place, especially at the goading of first-timing noob.
