The Texas Rangers weirdly roasted the Dodgers, and themselves, after the Red Sox World Series win
"Just go with it."
The Red Sox weren’t the only team lighting people up on Twitter following their World Series win Sunday night.
With their loss, the Los Angeles Dodgers earned the ignominious distinction of having lost two consecutive World Series. But at least they can take solace in knowing they’re not alone.
The Texas Rangers, the most recent team to lose consecutive Fall Classics, in 2010 and 2011, took the opportunity to offer a few words of, um, support Sunday night. With the apparent exception of Dodgers infielder David Freese, who pulled the St. Louis Cardinals back from the brink of elimination in that 2011 series, the Rangers invited the NL West team to their “support group for back-to-back #WorldSeries losers.”
Hey @Dodgers, the support group for back-to-back #WorldSeries losers meets on Tuesdays.

Some fans noted that it was a “weird flex” for the Rangers to go out of their way to point out their own painful history, but the team — or at least their social media manager — stood by the tweet.
