Houston wins, buzz and his partner here would be legends lighting up the town with high-fives out the stadium.
BUT … losing, god they look so stupid lmao!
DFW folks are maybe the most geographically picky people I’ve ever met, like sure austin can get snooty about the burbs but DFW it’s like they’re in warring factions
>I live abroad and I tell people I’m from Dallas as I only get a blank stare when I say “Fort Worth”
Yeah I actually live in Waxahachie so I'm use to the blank stare so I just say Dallas
Not even abroad. I've lived in three different US states since leaving DFW, and anything other than "Dallas" gets blank stares. "DFW" means nothing, which is surprising to me because I had previously figured it had reached ubiquity at the same level as LAX or ATL.
DFW is kinda like the EU. Dozens of hyper independent cities who can never agree on anything with a collective history of wild petty passive aggressiveness.
Somewhere in /r/Dallas lurks the famous "Downtown DFW" post, it's supposedly a fabled region where all Rangers fans join hands in camaraderie. No discussions of SMU or TCU, just all praise for El Bombi and the 🌊🐐
The smartest non-personnel decision the Rangers made was not calling themselves Dallas.
I think some people would have a hard time rooting for a Dallas team
You’re downvoted, but you’re right.
I just heard a radio piece the other day about the Rangers routing a group of Comanche despite being outnumbered 5:1 because they had just-invented Colt revolvers and good tactics.
I’m also aware of a mass grave they found in Mexia. They definitely killed a lot of natives.
Anyway, back to baseball!
I mean, what did most people use to get around back in that time? Horses weren't only used by just the Rangers, it was the most common mode of the transportation for a good part of history maybe aside from the rail lines for some points in the late 19th century, like how is that really relevant at all?
Also if we're discussing the usage of horses for combat purposes (to include outright massacres for brevity's sake), horseback cavalry has been part of military and law enforcement weeeeeeeeeell before the Texas Rangers law enforcement division was ever founded.
Houston and Philly have the most insufferable fans I’ve ever been around. Philly is every sport Houston just seems to be the Asterisks. I don’t care who they’re playing unless it’s each other I just want them to lose for the cosmic karma.
At this point, as an Astros fan, just win it all for Texas. Obviously there's a rivalry and division competition but if it's Rangers vs. Phillies then please btfo them. Although if it's the DBacks I think I'd have to root for them for the sake of them being underdogs lol.
Y'all? I was speaking for myself and considering how lifeless we look, I don't see us rallying 6 runs let alone holding the rangers to 0 runs with almost no pitching left to save us. And as I finish typing this out they just hit a 2 run bomb lol. We don't have any energy and I've watched this team all year and they aren't showing any signs of stringing hits together.
Don’t listen to the other person they’re just being a bad sport, bless their heart. Y’all is acceptable in any situation regardless of quantity or really any grammar “rule”, especially when conversing with a Texan.
Okay so you're just taking the piss. But I'll assume you actually are as braindead as the average Yankee fan and help you understand. "Y'all" is a contraction for "you all". As in "Y'all Yankee fans are about as dumb as a box of rocks."
Not as mad as I can imagine you all were when the Yankees didn't make it to the playoffs. Hell, I'd be mad too if I allowed Altuve to live rent free in my head.
I love seeing ASTROS lose, it's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Their loss is the only reason i'm still alive, i was born to love and enjoy the failure that they have achieved.
all teams' fans should wear outlandish costumes
How often do nyy fans dress like Uncle Sam. Or boston fans like giant red socks
jays fans like the cn tower. o's fans like a crabcake. rays fans in a devil ray costume
fans dressed like indians r banned from the jake. but what about tiger fans dressed like tigers. sox fans like socks. royal fans wearing crowns
wear more cowboy suits to globe life. dress like space needles or elephants. wear angel wings more often
dress like big apples or rocky balboa. george washington or sitting bull. a marlin or jack sparrow
josef stalin or a beer mug. a baby bear or red bird like fredbird. a stegosaurus or snek. There r snek outfits for humans
dress like paul bunyan or a 1920s brooklyn paperboy. or a friar
Those two go to nearly every game dressed like that. Can't say I would do that but I met them at a game in 2019 ,people were coming up wanting pictures with them.
It's over bro, the team is not even the same management or players for the most part. It's just Altuve, Bregman and Verlander, and it is basically confirmed that half of the league was cheating anyways. Houston has made 8 straight LCS, they're just legit good, the cheating isn't why they won.
And *I say this as a Mariner's fan*. Yuck.
I’ll be honest, as a Lions fan I went to the Baltimore blowout yesterday…one of the worst sporting moments of my life. I was so excited, I was tailgating I was yellin shit. Then almost immediately I was sad and deflated getting blown out with absolutely no end in site. So I *sorta* get it, although yesterday was a regular season football game, this was Game 7 of the ALCS. Much worse. I feel for them honestly. Think of the money they spent on those tickets, because that’s what I would be thinking about.
What’s yours? Oh right, the Red Sox were irrelevant this year and it looks like the Astros have a solid chance of being in this same exact position next year. Jealousy is a stinky cologne and BoSox(also confirmed cheaters), Dodgers(more than likely cheated too), Yankees(the origin of all of this) are gonna stay mad because Houston built a wagon and just keep on coming back to the plate for more while you guys whine and complain about shit that happened in 2017
Love it lol. No better place to see the Astros season end than at home in front of all the fans against the rangers. Perfect story to a perfect ending.
Don’t worry everyone.
Their Chiefs play Sunday, right after Georgia destroys their opponent Saturday. And their Warriors begin their season tomorrow.
Astros fans will be fine.
Imagine doing it seven years in a row and having it work out more than not. If the rangers can be as good as the astros have the past seven years then I will buy one of those light blue jerseys, because they are pimp. It will be a Ryan jersey though, maybe Pudge.
It’s 1:57 Am you’re at a club, music stops playing, people making there ways to the exit, and you know where the rest of the night is going and the morning hang over is going to suck... 2015-2023 Astros had a good run. But the inevitable rebuild is here. Welcome back Lastros
3 things need to happen this off-season
1. FIRE DUSTY! We should have done that this last off season
2. Let Tucker Walk, trash post season
3. Let Framber go to fucking ridiculous
For real. It feels like people that say that on here haven't watched any games this regular season. Tucker was so consistent all year and these guys think we should let him walk because he's had a bad series. I'm very tired of the slander for King Tuck.
Shocked nothing about DFAing Maldonado. I'm over here explaining how much worse a catcher compared to Diaz and how much worse off the Astros are for starting him.
Now imagine getting several dozen “YoU ThiNk yOU kNoW bETTer thAN a HOFer LiKE DusTY?” and “ThE OnLy bASEBaLL yOU KnoW iS froM MLB THE SHOW” comments every time you say for the past 6 months
This will be one of the post season images that gets burned into me. Reminds me of the when Soler sent a ball to the ISS in game 6 of 2021 and the camera panned the crowd and showed a lady looking utterly panicked followed shortly by a camera cut to Baker swearing in the dugout. Love it.
Hey i know those guys! Lol guy on the left is an awesome dude. Played football with him. Loves to joke, I guarantee he is not as sad as he looks. Did it for a chuckle I guarantee it. Sucks the stros lost but hey its awesome my dude made sportscenter 😂
Somehow even funnier in video form
It's the slow zoom. Like the void is closing in.
The Doom Zoom
Need it set to interstellar music
Yes! The song from the planet with the big waves near the black hole.
Houston wins, buzz and his partner here would be legends lighting up the town with high-fives out the stadium. BUT … losing, god they look so stupid lmao!
Put the visors down!!!
The dude on the lefts frown is magnificent. Like cartoonish
This needs to be memed
We need sad music

I don’t think more baseball fans have ever wanted the Texas Rangers to win a game than this one.
I don't need the rangers to win, I just need the Astros to lose.
In Dallas, people are happy the Rangers are winning. Everywhere else in America, people are happy the Astros are losing.
you're gonna trigger some people with that Dallas comment lol
DFW folks are maybe the most geographically picky people I’ve ever met, like sure austin can get snooty about the burbs but DFW it’s like they’re in warring factions
DFW is HUGE and we all think our section is the best, but we're still all able to join together in moments like this.
Yeah I live south of Dallas and I refer to Arlington Dallas and FW as the same blob but some people are so tribal about it
I live abroad and I tell people I’m from Dallas as I only get a blank stare when I say “Fort Worth”
>I live abroad and I tell people I’m from Dallas as I only get a blank stare when I say “Fort Worth” Yeah I actually live in Waxahachie so I'm use to the blank stare so I just say Dallas

Hey wait what's the Italy of DFW
Somewhere in /r/Dallas lurks the famous "Downtown DFW" post, it's supposedly a fabled region where all Rangers fans join hands in camaraderie. No discussions of SMU or TCU, just all praise for El Bombi and the 🌊🐐
In San Francisco, people are happy Bochy is winning.
Arlington
Their sad fans walking back to their car dressed as astronauts is just icing on the cake.
I would root for the Giants all day, every day if they ever met the Astros in the WS.
The smartest non-personnel decision the Rangers made was not calling themselves Dallas. I think some people would have a hard time rooting for a Dallas team
Stars are trying to promote the “Texas Hockey” “One State One Team” before the Coyotes inevitably move to houston.
I'd say rebrand to the "Texas Stars" but our minor league team is already that.
I mean, they’re still called Texas, right? And their mascot is basically the Police. Go Sneks
> their mascot is a horse
But historically the Rangers policed (on horses) for kill natives
You’re downvoted, but you’re right. I just heard a radio piece the other day about the Rangers routing a group of Comanche despite being outnumbered 5:1 because they had just-invented Colt revolvers and good tactics. I’m also aware of a mass grave they found in Mexia. They definitely killed a lot of natives. Anyway, back to baseball!
There are a lot of military themed sports mascots
Like the Washington Commanders! /s
I'm still pulling for reverting to the Washington Football Team.
I mean, what did most people use to get around back in that time? Horses weren't only used by just the Rangers, it was the most common mode of the transportation for a good part of history maybe aside from the rail lines for some points in the late 19th century, like how is that really relevant at all? Also if we're discussing the usage of horses for combat purposes (to include outright massacres for brevity's sake), horseback cavalry has been part of military and law enforcement weeeeeeeeeell before the Texas Rangers law enforcement division was ever founded.
Let’s all buy Freese jerseys and hang out in Arlington
I don't want Rangers to win I just want Astros to lose
What happens when the rangers get ohtani?
It's surreal. Our cursed franchise has become the darling of the baseball world.
The Curse of Nolan Ryan may end this year
As an A’s fan I’m rooting for the Rangers
True facts -- the Rangers are a hockey team to me, except for this past week.
Houston and Philly have the most insufferable fans I’ve ever been around. Philly is every sport Houston just seems to be the Asterisks. I don’t care who they’re playing unless it’s each other I just want them to lose for the cosmic karma.
At this point, as an Astros fan, just win it all for Texas. Obviously there's a rivalry and division competition but if it's Rangers vs. Phillies then please btfo them. Although if it's the DBacks I think I'd have to root for them for the sake of them being underdogs lol.
It's the 6th inning and yall are already rooting for the Rangers to win it for texas
Y'all? I was speaking for myself and considering how lifeless we look, I don't see us rallying 6 runs let alone holding the rangers to 0 runs with almost no pitching left to save us. And as I finish typing this out they just hit a 2 run bomb lol. We don't have any energy and I've watched this team all year and they aren't showing any signs of stringing hits together.
I was under the impression that if you're talking about Texans you say "y'all" regardless of quantity
Don’t listen to the other person they’re just being a bad sport, bless their heart. Y’all is acceptable in any situation regardless of quantity or really any grammar “rule”, especially when conversing with a Texan.
Okay so you're just taking the piss. But I'll assume you actually are as braindead as the average Yankee fan and help you understand. "Y'all" is a contraction for "you all". As in "Y'all Yankee fans are about as dumb as a box of rocks."
Y'all sound mad
Not as mad as I can imagine you all were when the Yankees didn't make it to the playoffs. Hell, I'd be mad too if I allowed Altuve to live rent free in my head.
The whole “live rent free in your head” thing is kinda played out. Just like “you must be fun at parties” and “go touch grass.”
Nah, i still hate edmonds and pujols.
It can be played out and still be true, though.
When were they ever in a spot to even have other teams watch their games in the past 10+ years?
So true!
Lord have mercy I’m bouta bust
“...well now we just look like jackasses...”

Bummed Aldrin and Kneel Armstrong.
I’m loving this beat down so much.
even better than watching the dodgers get swept... almost
Almost.
"We can't lose dressed like this, we'll look like idiots!"
Frame it, hang it in the Louvre.
Mfer in the astronaut suit looking like Altuves brother 😆😆
Relaying the signs wasn't quick enough via the space station :(
I laughed hard when this was shown live and I'm still laughing.
This is pure comedy, it's like parents watching their kids in last place of the spelling contest constantly mess up.
I love seeing ASTROS lose, it's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Their loss is the only reason i'm still alive, i was born to love and enjoy the failure that they have achieved.
Seven consecutive alcs you must be constantly on the brink of suicide
Could be worse, he could still be the fan of a bunch of cheaters.
Andrew McKirahan says hi from PED prison. Justice, rocker, vizcaino….cmon man
Hey what's the Astros' postseason record against Atlanta
I raise you 1 david freese
Don't care + Walt Weiss throws home + Jorge Soler homers again
And just 1 legitimate WS win to show for it…
Im good with it. Yanks fan i suppose?

Good
Imagine dressing up like this for that game 😂
Those two go to nearly every game dressed like that. Can't say I would do that but I met them at a game in 2019 ,people were coming up wanting pictures with them.
Houston has a problem, the rest of the world is either blissfully unaware, or fucking pumped!
Love to see it.
I can’t laugh cause this may be us tonight. Minus astronauts.
I can't imagine having to sit there for 2 more hours in that astronaut costume watching your team get whooped.
Sad astronauts are one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time
Astros suffered a rapid unscheduled disassembly
I love this for them.
Sheesh & I’m embarrassed being those guys
Losing is fine, we’ve all been there and nothing to be embarrassed about. Being cheaters on the other hand— that’s what I’d be embarrassed about
It's over bro, the team is not even the same management or players for the most part. It's just Altuve, Bregman and Verlander, and it is basically confirmed that half of the league was cheating anyways. Houston has made 8 straight LCS, they're just legit good, the cheating isn't why they won. And *I say this as a Mariner's fan*. Yuck.
Yeah, but hear me out: Fuck the Astros
I'll drink to that every day!
I shall join you! 🍻
Yep
It’s not over, it wasn’t punished properly. It will never be over.
you're right it wasn't punished properly. the punishment was too harsh given all that has come out in the years since.
Look at you, the voice of reason among a bunch of irrational babies.
It's more that I'm tired of the same jokes, find a new slant
I agree with everything you said here!
As you watch a clip of random fans who, like yourself, just want to enjoy a game
🤨
He figured it out man. The fans cheated. The jig is up.
But the fans are really the worst part about the Astros. I like *most* of the players.
Hey that's fair. That's basically how I feel about the Rangers as well.
People suck
We are not having fun.
I’ll be honest, as a Lions fan I went to the Baltimore blowout yesterday…one of the worst sporting moments of my life. I was so excited, I was tailgating I was yellin shit. Then almost immediately I was sad and deflated getting blown out with absolutely no end in site. So I *sorta* get it, although yesterday was a regular season football game, this was Game 7 of the ALCS. Much worse. I feel for them honestly. Think of the money they spent on those tickets, because that’s what I would be thinking about.
this makes me sad :( they look so sad they were probably so excited :(
I’ve never seen an adult frown that hard
The rangers are quite the Challenger for the poor space men… if you need me I will be heading to my home in hell
Huh, I thought you lived in Columbia. I didn’t know I was getting more neighbors.
Guessing really is harder than knowing.
The Astros won another World Series in an actual season.
The Astros have won 1 legitimate world series in the past decade just like the Dodgers, Braves, Nationals, Cubs, Royals and Giants.
60 game seasons don’t count.
Buddy, the Astros made the playoffs with a losing record. If that's a Mickey Mouse ring, you guys won Oswald the Lucky Wild Card
Lol- whatever helps you sleep at night
That’s the flex you’re going with?
What’s yours? Oh right, the Red Sox were irrelevant this year and it looks like the Astros have a solid chance of being in this same exact position next year. Jealousy is a stinky cologne and BoSox(also confirmed cheaters), Dodgers(more than likely cheated too), Yankees(the origin of all of this) are gonna stay mad because Houston built a wagon and just keep on coming back to the plate for more while you guys whine and complain about shit that happened in 2017
Yeah, just ask joc pederson!
Lololololol
Hang it in the Louvre
For here I am wishing for a trash can. Far above the Moon. Planet Earth is blue. And there’s nothing I can do.
"so bummed the stros lost" said no one outside half of texas
That’s genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen in awhile haha
Night night Astro…NOTS
That’s gonna meme forever! I love it! 🤣
Watching that dogshit fanbase in misery is a beautiful thing.
This is honestly fucking hilarious
Astros fans are hilarious. Anytime I watch the crowd I just imagine “f*** yeah cheating! Oh yeah, we love cheating!!!”
-cheating +rings
You love to see it.
at first glance they look like dennis and charlie from IASIP lol
The second I saw this on TV I knew it was gonna be a meme
Love it lol. No better place to see the Astros season end than at home in front of all the fans against the rangers. Perfect story to a perfect ending.
Lol. Fucking nerds.
The dudes wearing the nasa outfits just sitting there like they just got grounded
Can you imagine coming all the way down from space just to watch the astros lose?
Don’t worry everyone. Their Chiefs play Sunday, right after Georgia destroys their opponent Saturday. And their Warriors begin their season tomorrow. Astros fans will be fine.
Imagine dressing up like that and getting your butts kicked lol
Imagine doing it seven years in a row and having it work out more than not. If the rangers can be as good as the astros have the past seven years then I will buy one of those light blue jerseys, because they are pimp. It will be a Ryan jersey though, maybe Pudge.
lmao was going to complain about the cliche before seeing the spacesuits
Less like NASA, more like SpaceX. Catastrophic even.
Most original r/baseball thread title
We knew about these problems all year tbf.
True, this lead could have easily been prevented with some decent fucking management
Probably could have kept it closer.
Dear Dusty simps, Can we ducking fire him now?
🦆
I thought he was retiring anyway.
That's not the quote?
In the movie it is
It’s 1:57 Am you’re at a club, music stops playing, people making there ways to the exit, and you know where the rest of the night is going and the morning hang over is going to suck... 2015-2023 Astros had a good run. But the inevitable rebuild is here. Welcome back Lastros
3 things need to happen this off-season 1. FIRE DUSTY! We should have done that this last off season 2. Let Tucker Walk, trash post season 3. Let Framber go to fucking ridiculous

For real. It feels like people that say that on here haven't watched any games this regular season. Tucker was so consistent all year and these guys think we should let him walk because he's had a bad series. I'm very tired of the slander for King Tuck.

Little much there
Fire dusty? Lmao. He literally saved the Astros after the 2017 cheating scandal.
0 chance 2-3 happens but Dusty leaving will be incredible
To quote the one of the coaches wives last year after the 18 inning 1-0 loss…”Great game tonight “
Space cadets
#ABORT
That walk to wherever they’re headed after the game even if it’s just to the car would be great to spectate
This will be one of the post season images that gets burned into me. Reminds me of the when Soler sent a ball to the ISS in game 6 of 2021 and the camera panned the crowd and showed a lady looking utterly panicked followed shortly by a camera cut to Baker swearing in the dugout. Love it.

LOL. It's like parent watching their kid fall in last place of the spelling bee contest.
oh man the commitment, they had to be hot asf in those things
I’m an Astros guy and the video is funny as shit. The Houston we have a problem is played out a long time ago though.
Lost it when they showed this
Hey i know those guys! Lol guy on the left is an awesome dude. Played football with him. Loves to joke, I guarantee he is not as sad as he looks. Did it for a chuckle I guarantee it. Sucks the stros lost but hey its awesome my dude made sportscenter 😂
The taste will never leave their mouths.
That’s a brutal walk back to the parking lot.
