Nice side pic, way to rub it in on a monday morning.

Great picture. Serve us right.

It was a bet made all in good fun. I know why it's frustrating to look at but it is not a big deal IMO. NFL subs do it all the time.

We look forward to continuing this in September. Its perfectly healthy competition, and a lot better than bitching at each other's team ad infinim.

Honestly it does more harm than good. I don't care if we get an Astros image up on their sub, but I do dislike having to look at their logo every time I come to our sub. I would rethink this the next time.

Does a logo of a team seriously offend you? It's a joke, lighten up.

Maybe next time the stipulation will be nothing with a logo. I still stand by my opinion that sidebar images are all in good fun though. The Texans do it with the Colts and a bunch of other teams.

It was out of a conversation between myself and u/clutchyball that got some upvote love and a few positive responses.

Next time it'd probably be a better idea to put it to a vote so our more sensitive fans can have a say.

clutchyballLMC•

Yeah, next time will do a submission thread and vote. I still maintain the opinion no one would complain about this if we had won this weekend.

back_for_goodTigers•

I 100% agree and I think the risk was worth the small embarrassment. It's not even that bad of a picture to be honest. I had a good laugh at it.

We'll get them next time.

I'd be complaining because we win a sidebar bet and the best we can do is a Nolan Ryan Astros card? Shit Jesus Altuve would have been great for it.

We went into a rap battle with a yo mamma joke.

Way to go. You just described gambling. Winning is fun and losing sucks.

Can I at least find it ironic that the mods from both subs have to work hard during the series to ban trolls, but are a-ok with one putting up a sidebar image on the other - where the winner must visit the other sub?

Maybe next time we will get two Rangers fans downvoting every comment! ;)

God some of y'all are melodramatic when the chips are down.

It's early August. Still plenty of time to turn it around.

Somebody said it best a week or so ago... "Good seasons bring out the worst fans."

Case-in-point: The Golden State Warriors

I don't think any fanbase could have been more annoying or go completely nuts than the 2016 Warriors. It rivals Philadelphia Eagle fans.

I use to work in Bay area alot back in early 2000s. GS games were like a cheap last minute entertainment, you can always get tickets and good seats.

All those idiot fans are the worse fair weather fans you can found.

back_for_goodTigers•

Yeah I don't envy Cowboys fans having to put up with Eagles fans.

Though we have the Colts, who are more smug than just plain awful.

Did you see how their fans reacted on Twitter when they lost the championship? I was actually predicting that they would turn on "their" team if they lost.

back_for_goodTigers•

I try to avoid Twitter/Instagram/Facebook for that kind of thing. I mean there are some straight-up dummies on Reddit but social media is nothing but braying jackasses who can't spell for shit.

Ehhhhhh yeah, it sucks, but I find it a little funny. There's no way to look at that slide with a straight face. Plus, they could have been much worse to us! Also...I like our good ranger fans we have here.

MrHappiFunTimeRangers•

I understand im the minority, but I actually really like the Astros! They were my first little league team, and you guys have some crazy talent right now that is fun to watch. I would MUCH rather have yall win than the damn Angels...

48MichaelAstros•

Oh I'd rather be winning than the Angels too :) I've always loved the Stros more than any other sport team. I was just throwing out my opinion. Gotta laugh or it'll eat you up!

It's a joke that we got stuck in the same league, let alone the same division. Fucking California has 3 NL teams and one AL. Why not move the Padres to the AL?

You know Oakland is in California, right?

Do they play baseball in Oakland? No, I forgot about them.
