After tonights 5-1 soul crushing finale to the Rangers season Ive come to the conclusion that Texas went on a baseball equivalent to full on Monkey Tilt the past 10 days. A 5 game lead with 9 days left and the last 3 games are against the team chasing you for the division and you get swept and then go home to face a team that had a similar record to you and honestly didnt close out well losing 2 out of 3 in their own final series and then get pwned at home, after winning back to back League Titles, and were the consensus favorite to likely repeat again. Then go out with a whimper it just seems to me Texas just went on Tilt. Boston last year was a slow car crash to missing the playoffs but to me Texas's crushing implosion in such a short and dramatic fashion was worse by far.... Like a poker player getting sucked out on once or twice and doubling up the other guy and tilting off their chips afterwards. (Much like Hellmuth did in the WSOP last year when he had such a massive chip lead in the 50k Horse)
