Tom Grieve. Josh "Gay Face" Lewin. The great Eric Nadel. Even Victor Rojas.
They. Don't. Deserve. This.
As I write this, the Texas Rangers are having their pants pulled down and are being hung from the scoreboard by their Under Armour. Hell, it's about the only way the Rangers get on the scoreboard. Zzziiing!
The Tigers, who so recently were near the bottom of the AL standings, got the perfect prescription - the ridiculous Rangers. As did the Red Sox last weekend.
Texas has been swept in both of those series, going 0-7, and have been outscored 67-28 in those games. You can hear the disgust in the voice of the four men listed at the beginning of this entry. It's April 24 and the Rangers are so cooked they resemble a charred brisket...in a smoker...on the surface of the sun. It's the 22nd game of the season, and Texas occupies their familiar position as the worst team in the American League with their 7 measly wins. There are ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY MORE GAMES for these poor broadcasters to try and come up with the positivity and energy to put lipstick on this pig. "Hey, did you see than Josh? The Rangers just executed their first successful double play of the year and didn't throw the ball in to the fortieth row. Ya team! Things are looking up!"
They're eliminated from the post-season before either the Mavericks or the Stars. Nobody cares anymore. Blow up the team, bulldoze The Ballpark in Arlington and move on.
(This will likely be my one and only baseball post.)

"This is the first time this season the Rangers have given up four home runs in a game."
--Eric Nadel, circa 4th inning today
When I got home last night the Rangers were winning 5-0. I paid no attention to baseball whatsoever last night, and damn near hit a telephone pole on Skillman this morning when I heard on the radio they'd lost 19-6. NINETEEN to SIX??!?
With, I think, twelve of those nineteen coming in a single inning.
