The rangers won the H2H record when we played the rays this year.

Shouldn't that decide something like this?

Can't wait to see what happens this off-season...just a weird year.

Hopefully no rifts in the front office this off-season

Football, Hockey, and Basketball all in mid-season form for the next 4-5 months.

only sports i enjoy are football and baseball, with baseball being the most highly enjoyable to me personally.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- It didn't take long for the Texas Rangers to make some changes for the 2014 season.

While manager Ron Washington will return, bench coach Jackie Moore and first base coach Dave Anderson will not. The Rangers announced Wednesday that the contracts of Moore and Anderson will not be renewed.

After 56 years of baseball, the 74-year-old Moore, a longtime friend of Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan, said he had no idea why he was let go. Ryan lost most of his power when general manager Jon Daniels was also named president of baseball operations before this season.

"You look for reasons and I haven't found any, other than me being a Nolan guy," Moore said.

The remainder of Washington's staff, including pitching coach Mike Maddux, bullpen coach Andy Hawkins and third base coach Gary Pettis, are expected back in 2014.

Both Moore and Anderson, who was demoted from third base coach to first base coach this season, joined the Rangers' staff in 2009. They were on a coaching staff that guided the Rangers to World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011.

Washington said Tuesday that he didn't expect any changes on his coaching staff but added that he had to meet with Daniels to review the 2013 season.

"I thought we had done pretty good around here with two World Series and the playoffs," Moore said. "I enjoyed working with Wash and the other coaches and players. We had such a good situation in the clubhouse.

"Nolan brought me and a lot of good came out of it."

Anderson said he was "disappointed" by the Rangers' decision.

"I'm disappointed because we've had a lot of success in the organization since I've been here," Anderson said. "But I understand the ballclub is going to do what they think is best. You have to accept that.

"Me personally, I had a great run here with this organization. I thanked JD, Thad and Wash when I talked to them this morning. I have nothing but fond memories from my time here."

Anderson said he hasn't decided what he'll do next but will consider going into a front office or scouting department somewhere in addition to possible on-field jobs around the league.

This is what I was talking about...Rift in front office.
Jackie is a nolan guy and Anderson is a JD guy.

I grew up in Irving and got to see a Cowboys win a superbowl, the Stars win a stanley cup, and the Mavs win a title... NEED THE COMPLETION!!! I don't want to be like a cubs fan that goes an entire lifetime without a ring

It's so tough to win a WS, That window to win is so small.

You have no idea how spoiled you are..

Wasn't meant to be for the Astros (2005) and Rangers (2010 and 2011)

But it was fun seeing them playing in the World Series. That's all you can really ask for.

We deserve a World Series championship in the state of Texas. Even the Cubs have two even though it's from 1908 and 1907, LOL

Absolutely. I look at Cleveland sports and feel pretty damn good.

If LeBron James hadn't left I think he would have brought that city an NBA title, at least once, during the past two years.
