On June 18, I posted this rose-colored tribute to the Texas Rangers and exalted on how after 10 years of despising them and refusing to watch them play, I finally broke down and watched a game, enjoyed it, and considered lifting my longtime ban and embracing the team once again.
They were in first place at the time, about five games ahead in their division.
I was ready to jump on the bandwagon.
Well, after my naive post, the team lost its next five games, lost eight of its past 11, and have fallen 2-1/2 games behind the Angels.
I’m off the wagon again.
Screw the Rangers. Go Cowboys!
Plainly we’re better off with you not watching the Rangers…
Please stop posting about baseball
somebody’s gotta do it, someone with a precise and insightful yet panoramic view of baseball and its storied history, someone wise…someone such as myself.
The Rangers are 1-0 since you quit watching, and were doing great until you started. I think I know how to fix the Cowboys…
Screw the Rangers – support the Cats instead. They’re local, cheaper, better, and you don’t have to associate with the nightmare that is Arlington.
