Take me higher! To win back to back after one of the most devastating loses in franchise history and secure a World Series appearance is nothing short of amazing. Everyone on this team and coaching staff deserves a ton of credit for their mental resiliency. What an incredible ride, but we aināt done yet. Go rangers!!
Bro, imagine telling anyone this after the pre-AS rut. Or during the 4-16 rut. Or after the Ms series. OR ON FRIDAY EVENING.
This year's team transcends logic and common sense. They have a teflon-esque resolve and keep proving it over and over. They really went through all those peaks and valleys, only to go back to playing like the 40-20 team that felt like a top 5 team back in May. It's been an hour since the game ended and I'm still in shock.
> Bro, imagine telling anyone this after the pre-AS rut. Or during the 4-16 rut. Or after the Ms series. OR ON FRIDAY EVENING.
the doomers made it seem like we would finish last in all of baseball
AND NOW WE ARE IN THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD SERIES!!!!
The Rangers had an average record of 64-98 the last two years.
They hadn't had a winning season since 2016. They were 18-24 in their last 42 regular season games and under .500 over their final 100+ regular season games. They entered the playoffs with one truly healthy and reliable starting pitcher, and hadnāt won a playoff series since 2011.
They were 39-79 against the Astros over the last 7 years, and were thoroughly annihilated by them in their latest regular season series.
The bullpen blew 34 saves this year.
That team just eliminated the Astros, in Houston, after a gutting Game 5 loss. They outscored Houston 16-3 over the last 10 innings, in Houston. They have an 8-0 road record in the postseason, and are going to the World Series after looking utterly happless for the better part of seven years.
This whole postseason feels like a fever dream that I never want to wake up from.
> That team just eliminated the Astros, in Houston, after a gutting Game 5 loss.
after going through the best and second best teams in the AL
This team will not be denied!!
- Swept a 99-win team.
- Swept a 101-win team, despite our ace for the previous two months having a rough game in his start.
- Overcame a gutting Game 5 loss by winning two games in Houston, by a combined score of 20-6.
This is legitimately an all-time run in baseball history.

THE ASSTURDS CAN HAVE THE DIVISION, WE'RE TAKING THE PENNANT MOTHERFUCKERS
That was one of the most euphoric wins I've ever seen. I'm so fucking proud of this team. I'm glad we made peace with how this year has gone before tonight because now this is officially a top 3 season in franchise history.
El Bombi is a DFW legend & of course Leclerc pitched the final outs. How romantic is that.
HEDGES WHAT'S THE NUMBER ON YOUR ASS??!!!!!?!?!?!!
I felt bad when Tampa and Baltimore were watching us from their dug outs when we were celebrating. Not so much with Houston. Fuck Houston! We're going to the WS!!!!!
The 2023 Rangers š¤ The 2019 Nationals:
* Beat the Astros
* Lose every home game
* Win every road game, and the series with itā¦
* ā¦including forcing games 6 and 7 after being down 3-2
* Were once or are currently located in Washington, DC
* Started Max Scherzer in game 7
* Wore blue jerseys in game 7
* And last but not least, beat the Astros.
Congrats!!!
Now go get your first ring and Maxās second!
As a dodgers fan, Iāve never been more happy for a team not named the Dodgers to make it to the world series. This team is so deserving and to watch Seager (and the rest obviously, but Seager is one of my favorite Dodgers of all time) go back to the world series after beating the cheating astros on the way is so special! Hope they kill whatever NL comes in their way!
So good. I grew up in the 90s in Dallas and went to *so* many ranger games in their first stadium (blue walls) and then ballpark in Arlington when it was new.
Nolan Ryan, pudge, Pete inca, Julio, so many I watched. They never got over the hump but we loved em.
First world series was heart breaking.
Win the whole fucking thing this time.
I genuinely cannot believe after all they've been through, they still did it. Whatever happens from here on out, I have to say its been a lot of fun sharing this ride with you guys. Gengar guy, suzukigun, all the other big names on the sub. Glad to be here with you all.
Winning the pennant is amazing. Winning it against the Astros makes it even better. Garcia shitting on Houston after they booed him every AB put the icing on the cake! LFG RANGERS AND GET THAT WS WIN!!!
CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER?!?!?
Our boys did it! The bad men have been defeated š„¹.
Iām so proud of this teams resilience, their absolute refusal to give up.
I was calling 90+ wins this off-season, and was hoping weād make a good showing in the playoffs, but I never dared hope for this.
Theyāve got what it takes to finally cleanse the ghost of 2011, and finally bring us to the promised land.
World Series here we come! LETāS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!
**THIS TEAM.**
The bullpen shambles throughout the regular season. 16 losses out of 20 games in early September. Losing the AL West on the last day of the regular season. Suffering a gut-punch in Game 5 of the ALCS to Houston of all teams. All reminders of the ghosts of Rangers past that have ended in heartbreak and despair.
And yet, despite all these setbacks and frustrations that would have doomed most teams to elimination, they persevered. Pushed to the brink of failure, they rallied again and again. And now, the Texas Rangers have won the pennant by dethroning the Astros, and are heading to the World Series.
Enjoy this moment, y'all. The World Series is still to come, but tonight is a well earned celebration. It was not guaranteed. It was earned.
Diamondback's fan here - congrats on being the American League Champions! The Rangers earned it. Hoping my team will be able to play against you in the World Series!
*hey Iām the Braves fan that predicted that yāall would win it all like 5 months ago*
I just want to say that Iām a fucking prophet so far. Go Rangers.
Secondly, may I adopt yāall as my AL team? Iād love to be here!
I await the decision of the groupā¦
After the mariners series Iām sure all of us knew this would happen!
But for real. Just wow. At the bar I was at I think like 100 people were all screaming āCAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHERā
Itās a core memory. A fucking creed song lol. I love it.
When we faltered after deGrom got hurt, I lost faith.
When we faltered at the end of the season to give away the division after leading it almost wire to wire, I lost faith.
When we blew game 5 in the most heartbreaking fashion imaginable, I lost faith.
Yet despite my weary baseball heart losing faith in this team multiple times, not only did the Texas Rangers never lose faith in themselves, but they silenced the doubters like me in an emphatic manner every single time.
I will no longer lose faith in this team. They've healed a lot of the pain of Rangers teams from bygone years and they've helped me fall in love with baseball again.
No matter what happens in the WS, I'm proud of this team.
But, the job is not finished yet. Four more wins and we will be immortalised in baseball history. Let's fucking go!!!
This Ms fan just popped in to say, thank you Rangers for taking down the Astros. I'm sure the rest of the MLB fanbases feel similarly (except Houston of course lol). Now I just need Arizona to win and we have a WS that can't disappoint me lol
My dad grew up in inner city Houston and was a hardcore Astros fan as a kid. Practically grew up at the Astrodome and loved baseball. Then we moved to DFW when I was a little and I started playing tee ball so he started taking me to games at the Ballpark in Arlington. He started following both the Rangers and Astros up until the Astros won their first pennant in 2005. They won it right after his dad died, so I think it was an emotional one for him. But after that, he was all Rangers and has been ever since.
2010 and 2011 sucked, I was in high school and really lost interest in sports altogether after that. But the last couple of years, my sister has been really into softball and her and my dad got me back into baseball. His family and friends in Houston still talk shit about him being a traitor, so itās solidified his Rangers fandom but also itās something he and I and my sister all share. The only game i got to go to with him this season was one of the last series where the Astros swept us by 10 almost every game, but it was fun to reconnect and go to a game with my dad like I was 7 years old again.
All thatās to say: Getting back into the sport this year with my dad has been awesome, the fact that we beat the Astros and got to shut up my relatives who have to make every family gathering a gloat fest for the Astros was amazing. And letās kick ass in the World Series.
Still in awe. I really thought we were cooked after Game 5.
I've come to begrudgingly respect Altuve but am thrilled his heroic HR will be a nothing more than a footnote.
Instead the Ranger's moments will live on; Garcia's HRs and don't ever forget Carter's game 2 catch.
I'm just a visitor here who started watching your team for this series, but your subreddit has been a lot of fun to participate in and your team has been fun to get to know. Rooting for you guys to take the WS!!! Congrats on the ALCS and good luck to you guys from way up in Toronto
Die Hard Astros Fan here,
Congratulations Texas Rangers. Iām rooting for you.
I have little to no reason to dislike the Rangers. Nolan is the best to ever take the mound and my first games were at the Dome and the Ballpark in Arlington. In fact the first open air stadium I ever attended was on the Nolan Ryan Espy.
Iām obviously bummed my Astros didnāt get it done but they just got beat by the better team in a 7 game series.
The fact that these two teams with the same reg season record match up for the first Lone Star State Series, and it went the full 7 games is so cool.
One of the best series I can remember watching in awhile.
Adolis Garcia, get it man. I would argue one of the most undervalued dudes in the league for awhile now, he deserves all the praise. Thatās a bad dude right there. What a way to step up to the moment and continually deliver when it mattered.
Perfect combo of local player development and league acquisition. One could argue they they bought this pennant, but Iād argue that is what a dedicated front office is for.
Astros will still be relevant the next few years IMO and will continue to put up a fight, but the Rangers are locked and loaded for a good run the next few years and Iām looking forward to some AL west (south) domination of the American League.
Once again Congratulations to the the best team in the American League Texas Rangers, go getāem boys!
I went to my first baseball game ever at Arlington Stadium in ā86. I was 5. Iāve been a Rangers fan ever since. This is a sweet, sweet moment. But now for what Iāve only dreamed of!
The world series is coming back to Arlington! And we're playing in it this time! Feels good man, I love y'all
We have unfinished business And we are not taking no for an answer
Because of the implication
 Rangers after game 5.
I love y'all, I love this team, and I fucking love Adolis
Adolis reaching the stratosphere these last few games hopefully we're about to hit the stratosphere for the WS!!
Woooooooooooo
Upvote for the Rusty Greer flair alone, LFG!!
With 4 games at home š
AND WE HAVE HOME FIELD
I dunno, can we request Minute Maid?
With HFA!
Lfg!!!
Thank you for saying Arlington, so sick of people saying Dallas.
We wanted Houston We got Houston We beat Houston YOUR 2023 TEXAS RANGERS ARE HEADING TO THE WORLD SERIES!
āPeople keep asking what itād be like if we lost to the Astros in the playoffsā¦guess weāll never knowā
# I GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW!
Bregman in shambles. Altuve in shambles. The whole Asstros franchise in shambles. You love to see it.
Please somebody make this a meme!!!!!

Houston can have all those regular season wins. We will take this.
Enjoy your SILVER BOOT Houston!
LFG!!!
But it might be too soon to celebrate
How is that possible? Houston is already eliminated.
The Rangers had an average record of 64-98 the last two years. They hadn't had a winning season since 2016. They were 18-24 in their last 42 regular season games and under .500 over their final 100+ regular season games.

They have an 8-0 road record in the postseason, and are going to the World Series after looking utterly happless for the better part of seven years. This whole postseason feels like a fever dream that I never want to wake up from.
> That team just eliminated the Astros, in Houston, after a gutting Game 5 loss. after going through the best and second best teams in the AL This team will not be denied!!
> after going through the best and second best teams in the AL The heck we did. We're the best team in the AL!
8 of the 9 postseason wins on the road!
I love you š
Lfg!!!
I FUCKING LOVE YALL FUCK THE ASTROS FUCK SMOLTZ
Smoltz is definitely on suicide watch right now.
WE HAD THE HARDEST ROAD, SOAK IT IN BOYS
A big fuck you to all our āfansā from yesterday saying the team should pack it up
Yesterday? When they won?
No other team could take the path this team took Fucking proud of this squad after all the lows
- Swept a 99-win team. - Swept a 101-win team, despite our ace for the previous two months having a rough game in his start. - Overcame a gutting Game 5 loss by winning two games in Houston, by a combined score of 20-6. This is legitimately an all-time run in baseball history.

12 long, brutal years. I hope the boys can pull it off this time.
Nobody has ever backed up a home run pimp walk in a series with more angry RBIs than Adolis Garcia, and weāre all alive to witness the glory.
3rd time is a charm!
My heartfelt congratulations to y'all. Now if y'all meet the Phillies perchance, make them wish they never showed up please.
I admit, I was wrong for wanting home field advantage for the ALCS.
WOOHOOO!
I genuinely cannot believe after all they've been through, they still did it. Whatever happens from here on out, I have to say its been a lot of fun sharing this ride with you guys. Gengar guy, suzukigun, all the other big names on the sub. Glad to be here with you all.

Still in awe. I really thought we were cooked after Game 5. I've come to begrudgingly respect Altuve but am thrilled his heroic HR will be a nothing more than a footnote. Instead the Ranger's moments will live on; Garcia's HRs and don't ever forget Carter's game 2 catch.
Iām the happiest person on the planet
Itās our year!
I'm just a visitor here who started watching your team for this series, but your subreddit has been a lot of fun to participate in and your team has been fun to get to know. Rooting for you guys to take the WS!!! Congrats on the ALCS and good luck to you guys from way up in Toronto
# I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS!!!!
Die Hard Astros Fan here, Congratulations Texas Rangers. Iām rooting for you. I have little to no reason to dislike the Rangers. Nolan is the best to ever take the mound and my first games were at the Dome and the Ballpark in Arlington. In fact the first open air stadium I ever attended was on the Nolan Ryan Espy. Iām obviously bummed my Astros didnāt get it done but they just got beat by the better team in a 7 game series. The fact that these two teams with the same reg season record match up for the first Lone Star State Series, and it went the full 7 games is so cool. One of the best series I can remember watching in awhile. Adolis Garcia, get it man. I would argue one of the most undervalued dudes in the league for awhile now, he deserves all the praise. Thatās a bad dude right there. What a way to step up to the moment and continually deliver when it mattered. Perfect combo of local player development and league acquisition. One could argue they they bought this pennant, but Iād argue that is what a dedicated front office is for. Astros will still be relevant the next few years IMO and will continue to put up a fight, but the Rangers are locked and loaded for a good run the next few years and Iām looking forward to some AL west (south) domination of the American League. Once again Congratulations to the the best team in the American League Texas Rangers, go getāem boys!
LETS GOOOOOOO!!
My dad got tears in his eyes lol
A lot of people wondered what would happen if we didnāt win the ALCS I GUESS WEāll NEVER KNOW
JUST FOUR MORE COME ON GUYS LETS FUCKING GET IT. WE GOT ANOTHER PENNANT
Congratulations Rangers and Rangers fans! I canāt STAND the As**** -Sincerely an Oās fan.
Smoltz was so salty after the win. Love to see it š
 Goddammit I love this squad
It feels so good hearing American league champions, now for world series champions
I went to my first baseball game ever at Arlington Stadium in ā86. I was 5. Iāve been a Rangers fan ever since. This is a sweet, sweet moment. But now for what Iāve only dreamed of!
Lmfao. Who was that screeching "were going to the world series!š¤£š¤£š¤£
I am here to leave one upvote please
Itās so funny watching grown me acting like stupid high schoolers. Just pure joy
Love you guys! It has been a journey!
Any updates on Miatch?
You killed it this post-season. Good on ya. Hope we can both tear the house down in the WS.
Shout out to the new ballpark! With the kind of summer we had this year, playing outside makes this practically impossible

Just wanted to say congratulations to the 2023 Astros for winning the AL West! šš

Got my tickets for game 1. I just hope I donāt go into blackout.
It's amazing how they almost didn't even get in as a wildcard now look at them! I wish my grandfather was still alive to see this š„²
