1986 ALCS: TEXAS RANGERS VS. BOSTON RED SOX
Texas' bad playoff woes continue in 1986, as the Red Sox take us out 4-2. I don't remember a lot of details, as it was a while ago. I do remember that they had a heck of a lot of LHB in their lineup, which made me realize I didn't have much in the way of LHP help in the bullpen to mitigate that. I attached a picture of Frank Tanana racking up a CGSO in Game 5, as he benefited from being a lefty.
You can see from the photo in Game 6... we had the bases loaded with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th, down 6-3. And we grounded into a double play! Brutal.
Disappointed in this one. Creating a nice team and racking up a lot of wins in the regular season never counts for much in the playoffs. We're snake-bitten for sure.
