Rangers fan whose comments went viral after ALCS Game 5 loss gets last laugh

A diehard Rangers fan who did a little trash talking on FOX 4 after the Rangers lost Game 5 in the ALCS became a notorious fan in the eyes of Astros fans. But he had the last laugh after going down to Houston for Game 7 to watch the Rangers secure a spot in the World Series. #texasrangers #houston #mlbplayoffs

As an diehard Astros fan, I thought the dude’s comment was fun trash talk. While I hate losing (and more importantly losing to Dallas) I am happy for Rangers fans. Y’all enjoy the ride and I hope you get to feel as truly happy as I did last year and in 2017. There is nothing else like it!

Well that was funny. Thanks for interviewing a local that was clear, concise, reflective and that fervent about our team. Usually it's Go Rangers! or Cowboys! and you can tell they can't name more than five players on the team but sure like d'em hot dogs and beer.

Here's my message for the Astros:

and I cannot stress this enough,

[RickyBobby]

What a comeback for the Rangers. Adolis owns Houston forever.

[ikigai]

You guys quit makin fun of Houston AssTroll fans

I don’t typically comment on negative messages, but this one strikes me as so unnecessarily mean and spiteful that I have to reply. Why can’t we be competitors and cheer for our home team without resorting to nasty insults about the other? This fan’s comments simply show his character…I will leave it at that where he is concerned.
I am an avid Astros fan and was sad when they lost, but I was happy that a Texas team is going to the series, and I give the Rangers their due for playing great baseball when it mattered the most.
We love our hometown team and our players just as much as you love yours…there are great people on both sides!

Forget the viral comment, this dude got interviewed by Peyton...twice😁

[robertjenkins]

That comment about how Houston can't use faucets or showers unless Dallas flushes their toilets... that needs to be immortalized on a plaque somewhere in Globe Life.

John we all felt that but we got them we made h town cry🤣🤣🤣

[elijerrr]

I like this guy a lot haha. Go rangers! I need a ticket too! Saturday the game is on MY dad’s birthday!

[Flosseveryday]

Peyton is a ⭐️
And that fan is hilarious.😂

[comparocha]

John was every rangers fan we just wanted to get out of there and have a beer and Astros fan chanting just made it disgusting

[edwardhicks]

I’m Astros fan, no hate he should talk trash to us and support his team, it’s all fun but he got the win! Keep in Texas. Astros will be back though!

[Kosh]

Hey what happened to rooting for Texas teams if you’re from Texas? Astros fan here to root on Rangers. Oiler/Texans fan that roots for cowboys. Go Texas.!

[ryandanford]

This guy is a damn poet and he didnt know it!

[watsonh.]

Stats don't lie. The Astros were the only MLB team in the playoffs with a sub
.500 home win loss record. The pitching and hitting sucked at home. Other than Monty the Rangers pitching was not that overpowering. The Astros just couldn't score runs at home this season. The world series with the Diamondbacks will show if the Rangers really want to win the big one. Or did they just want to beat the Astros.

[nobodytheghosthoustexas]

It's all right there's always next year you're not gonna win the World Series it's gonna be the desert snakes😂😂😂😂

[IknowThings]

Did she really say “for reelz” smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[pnwriotgirl]

Rangers are gonna win it all, FINALLY!

[dustinbarlow]

Astros fans are disgusting, what Bregman did when celebrating the win of the division was disgusting, how they trolled Ranger fans and Baseball fans in general was disgusting. I am so glad the WS are two teams who have been disrespected by others. I am not going to dog the Diamondbacks, but their youth will show in this series, the fact they only have two quality starts in the post season will start to expose them as the series goes on. Rangers in five is optimistic, Rangers in six is realistic.
