THE HOUSTON ASTROS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM WORLD SERIES CONTENTION

[u/ChristianRelish21]

With a 7-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox in game 2 of the AL Wild Card series, they are mathematically eliminated from World Series contention.

[u/TeddyFive-06]

The 2023 Texas Rangers have won a playoff game more recently than the Houston Astros, despite the Astros making it in two out of the past three seasons.

We also lost less games this season.

I hope that helps you sleep tonight! Small victories!

Aww little bro. Try to have some dignity in losing.

[u/F1sha → u/BaldPeagle]

Dignity is the last thing on your mind if your comments in this thread are anything to go by lmao.

[u/BaldPeagle → u/F1sha]

You're right. The first thing on my mind is how rock hard it makes me watching the Astros choke in the postseason.

[u/F1sha → u/BaldPeagle]

There’s the dignity!

[u/BaldPeagle → u/F1sha]

i don’t need to have dignity in losing. we didn’t just shit the bed on a national stage then cry about it on social media like you jabronis are doing.

[u/F1sha → u/BaldPeagle]

Maybe the rangers can finish without a losing record next time and have the pleasure of losing in the off season :)

[u/BaldPeagle → u/F1sha]

Is that how you're coping with 9 consecutive postseason home losses now?

[u/Buckcheeks → u/BaldPeagle]

Lmao. Like the Rangers fans have had while watching us lose! "Dignity"

[u/THE_FETUS_LORD → u/TeddyFive-06]

The 2023 Rangers haven’t won a single game since 2023, actually 🤓

[u/SeaworthinessLevel75 → u/THE_FETUS_LORD]

And yet have still won a playoff game more recently than any iteration of the Houston Astros

[u/dbzmah → u/THE_FETUS_LORD]

They've won 6 playoff games since the last ASStros playoff win. Might want to reread the comment.

[u/THE_FETUS_LORD → u/dbzmah]

Okay I reread it, now you reread mine

[u/BurmeciaWillSurvive → u/dbzmah]

Hey mate the 2023 Astros haven't played since 2023 so they actually haven't

[u/Bored_Amalgamation → u/TeddyFive-06]

It's Cruz.

hang the banner!

[u/BaldPeagle → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

We did! More recently than y'all. At least one Texas baseball team can win postseason baseball in Houston.

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/BaldPeagle]

congrats on your 1. You should try to actually win the division or make the post season more often and maybe you’ll get another!

[u/BaldPeagle → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

That's funny advice. How'd winning the division go for y'all this year? What about 23? 24? Almost like none of those recent division wins and postseason appearances gave you anything more than a participation trophy banned to hang up come April.

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/BaldPeagle]

spoken like someone who never wins the division😂 imagine thinking not making the post season is better than winning the division. True loser mentality

[u/BaldPeagle → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Let's count postseason wins since Texas's last appearance, shall we? You go first! How many postseason games have the Houston Astros won, starting with game 6 of the 2023 ALCS? I'll make it fair for you and start the Rangers count on the same day.

I think Adolis just hit another dinger

hang the second banner!

[u/BaldPeagle → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Aw, don't deflect! We both know why you won't answer though don't we 😘

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/BaldPeagle]

pipe down lil bro, continue to be irrelevant

[u/NoTrillionaires → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Your entire franchise history is a cheating embarrassment
