Bagby and Coveleski led the way but as far as we know, were truthful.

Wood was a happy enough fellow despite blowing out his pitching arm in 1913, but he was known as "Smoky Joe."

Jim Carrey is an actor (an over-actor in fact,) while Harry Caray was a baseball announcer.

It’s called the Silver Boot Series. Been loving the playoffs this year- my rangers have finally given me some hope.

The showdown against the Astros is looming and I hope we can shake off our troubles against them this year. The way we are playing is encouraging though and I would be worried as an Astros fan coming against a red hot Rangers team.

I think the Braves and Phils are playing some good baseball as well. Who knows what the Diamondbacks will do. Very fun playoffs!

I think whoever wins the Phillies-Braves game tonight will win the series. Phillies need the good version of Aaron Nola to show up tonight or they are in trouble.

The Astros are on the verge of their 7th straight ALCS Series appearance I don't think they fear anything or anyone.

Pretty good move, picking up Verlander when they did.

Scherzer vs Verlander Game 1?

deGrom comes in out of the pen to close out Game 7.

Who saw that coming????

Scherzer might be ready for game 1, but I don't think deGrom is coming back this season.

Fair enough! The Stros had our number this year.

I hope it will be a great series!

If I’m Bruce Bochy, I’m pitching Eovaldi against Verlander and then Jordan Montgomery game 2, with Scherzer in game 3 on a limited pitch count with the bullpen coming in long relief

yah Astros 9-4 in the season series with Texas this year, that's a decent sample size....and 7-1 in their last 8 meetings with Texas, So can't dismiss totally.

Playoffs though new season. Gonna be fun.

Well, one heckuva series. The Astros got us in the regular series, but man does it feel good to win a pennant.

Hats off to the Astros coming back down 2 games. I thought they had us after the crushing game 5 loss…

Playoff baseball in Texas is sure fun!
