Well I gotta say, obviously Im a Texas Rangers Fan. But honestly could you write a better story, honestly, even on the hallmark channel you could not right this stuff! A team that was earlier this year in bankruptcy forced to sell this team, yet somehow still able to pick up key players such as Cliff Lee. Biggest payroll difference in playoff history. Literally Michael Young, the highest paid player on the Rangers, paid 13 million a year is paid as much as the eighth highest paid player on the Yankees. Overall the Yankees team is paid 100 million dollars more than the Rangers. First World Series appearance in history, which there were a lot of firsts for the Texas Rangers- first home victory in the playoffs *which didnt even come until the second round. The first series to have both teams have only wins on the road. From Josh Hamiliton's comeback from drug usage to all the Yankee players who were confirmed steroid users including Pedit and Arod (or as i like to call him A-Roid). So many things, I cant even express my exhilaration, i mean it honestly feellike it was fate especially considering the last out to end the game was against A-rod the highest paid player in MLB history at the time, *only to find out that he was in-fact using performance enhancing drugs at the time* cough cough, steriods.* They are truly a team that has overcome against all odds, and fought their way to make it to the world series and will continue to fight. Whether the rangers win or lose, nobody can take this away from us.

and do you think Vlad and other rangers havent used steroids?

If you're going to shit on one of the best playoff pitchers, at least pay him the kindness of spelling Pettitte somewhat correctly.

and lastly, A-rod tested positive back when he was on the rangers.

I have almost no idea what former use of performance enhancing drugs has to do with this blog and yet you seem to spend the majority of your time talking about it with regard to the Yankees...

This playoff shows once again that having a very highly paid team doesn't in any way guarantee wins in the MLB.

to add on:
not to mention half the yankees talent comes from people that have grown up in the yankees. I.E. mariano, pettitte, hughes, jeter, cano and gardner to a lesser extent... having a few of the highest played players != buying wins.

im happy for hamilton. I think thats about the only player I like on the rangers. =\.

A. Haven't heard anything on the list that came about about Vlad, and until it does I think it's innocent until proven guilty. Also, sorry i don't know how to spell talentless losers such as im sorry *Pettitte who won 16 of their 19 playoff games or whatever USING STERIODS.

B. I have to admit in the past some ranger such as Rafael Palimero and Juan Gonzalez or however you spell it, but im talking about those that still arent in the league. Breaking records that should be marked with an asterix for bullshit because they did it using steriods, cough cough pettitty and aroid

vlad used the same trainer as arod, was a hero at the plate until the mitchell report came out. probably a coincidence.



At least you arent discrimnatory in your disregard for respecting players enough to spell their names right. and lol talentless. You really dont even follow baseball, do you? And to use steroids for one year(Allegedly. If Vlad is innocent, I get to stick to the one time occurrence idea loool.) and call their accomplishments meaningless is just ignorance or jealousy, I think.

Yeah... I don't think there's any real advantage to having a smaller payroll... common sense.

There is an inherent flaw in how professional sports works here. Salary caps that other sports use have some merit but doesn't 'solve' the problems completely.

If you goal is to convince someone of something, this post is not the way to do it. Being reasonable is usually a pre-requisite for making a good point.

I have to agree, it has proved meaningless in this series, but the yankees literally try to buy every best player at their respective positions, and they still lost to a team who was in bankruptcy earlier this year. The Yankees are a joke, just like their fans who left early in two of the home games we played against them. I even heard a Ranger Chant in the new stadium, the Yankee Faithful my ass.

PS. I am sorry that my master debater skills have lapsed in this argument i admit i have been celebrating tonight. lol =)

they didnt buy anyone for their every day: left fielder, shortstop, and second baseman

if they were going for best they probably wouldnt have: granderson, swisher, or posada.

lol about the chanting. Because there arent Yankee fans, Ranger fans, even Cubs fans all over the country. Can you just admit to me you're only a baseball fan because the rangers finally made the world series so I can fully understand where you are coming from? Then this is all entirely excusable.

Andy admitted to using HGH, and allegedly it was two instances, over two days, in one season. Pleeasse. Fans leave early everywhere. Almost everything you say is loony.

Thinking about it, the only "bests" they have, thanks to their buying power, is CC Arod and Tex. And Burnett use to be a top tier pitcher but uhhh yeahh.

i apologize in advance for what is definitely a dig. But it sounds like you're just repeating an argument you heard someone else poorly try to get across while throwing in personal experience to validate it that is largely irrelevant to it. If thats not hitting the nail on the head, then I sincerely apologize.

otherwise, congrats. I hope the Rangers take it, because screw the Phillies and the Giants.

Yeah, and any maphacker can say they used a map hack once and never again, and still this cant be proven for only so much factually. No, i hate/love to admit ive been long time Ranger fan. And im sorry you are all butt hurt that your team has gone fishing as barkley would say, but damn not even u, a yankees fan, are stupid enough to truly think that Pettitty only 'took steriods' over the course of two games. People are ignorant to take his sweet southern accent, religious familial stereotypical response as evidence that he can be trusted. I dont care how sincere he sounded in his apology and admission. Any person with enough money can be trained in the psychology of body language and public speaking skills to be trained in a public apology. Lawl

im not butthurt about anything, i've seen my fair share of world series wins. You might have picked up on that when I said I'm rooting for the Rangers in the world series. I find Josh Hamilton to be an inspiration.

You call me ignorant and dismiss the possibility of vlad taking steroids? I dont believe it was a two time occurence, sorry to take away the satisfaction of thinking me stupid. I was proposing as believable a story as you saying vlad is innocent. I thought that was obvious. You'll have to excuse me, as I am also drinking, though less celebratory now that the game is over loool.

But I appreciate you're skillful dodge of replying to the bulk of my post in relation to your accusation of the yankees buying the best players in the league.

Alright, I will stop with the low blows to the Yankee fans, and i apologize for my responses that have proven less then tasteful. I admit I am not as used to this sensation as the typical fan, as it is our first World Series appearance in history. I am just celebrating and once again I apologize if I have been less than tactful in some of my responses.

p.s. I agree, Hamilton is an inspiration to any young fan of Major League Baseball. One of the few left that are even respectable. I admit that even though I might not always like the Yankees, I do at least not totally hate Jeter, although with all the obscenities i've yelled at my t.v. the last week or so one might not know it. lol
