Sunday's Game

C.J. pitched awesome. I mean fucking awesome. I got goose bumps when Michael Young hit that home run because it was at that exact moment that I felt like this team is for real. Last week has been an awesome set of games from the Rangers and I am really looking forward to tonight's matchup of the Ray's Price and Cliff Lee but I really need to point out my favorite moment from yesterday's game which was from the camera man not realizing that the cranking motion that Ogando was making was to give the bird...

My theory is that Ogando's Birdage is aimed at douches bigger than C.J. (yes it is possible). That's right, I am looking at you asshole New York/Boston fans from the Northeast (by northeast I mean McKinney and Plano or wherever the fuck part of the Metroplex you come from) who come out to the ballpark wearing Boston gear and you have no family affiliation to the area but you once saw Boston Legal in syndication so that entitles you to root against your local team. You sir or madam are the biggest fucking piece of shit douche on the face of the planet. So GET FUCKED! P.S. Girls wearing Yankees shit because it fashionable. Go FIST YOURSELVES.

Greenberg/Ryan

Hicks, GET THE FUCK OUT!

I have a previous post regarding Mark Cuban's involvement of the bidding process but I need to clarify that I always wanted Nolan Ryan to remain with the team. If Cuban won the bidding process than Nolan said he would leave the organization. I did say I liked Cuban's excitement and willingness to spend to win but I don't think the Rangers want the ultimate douche at the helms. This only leaves the question is the new ownership going to spend the money it takes to win? Well, my only concern is with a name like GREENBERG he may not like to spend da' monies... We will have to wait and see. Glad that the Greenberg/Ryan team won.

Awesome excerpt from a story run on ESPN. Basically Hick's will get his! HAHAHAHAHA

According to the team's bankruptcy plan, creditors will get only about $75 million from the team, no matter who ends up buying it. But the judge has said lenders, who are owed about $525 million after team owner Tom Hicks' financially strapped ownership group defaulted on loans, can go after Hicks' other companies.

P.S. Awesome game last night. C.J. was serviceable. Phitten Necklace was in full force.

A Quick Note to the Judge on the Bankruptcy Proceedings

Mr. Judge, just a quick note that I find extremely hilarious and too coincidental. It was on this exact day of August 4th 17 years ago that Nolan Ryan gave Robin Ventura an ass beating of a lifetime that no one will ever forget. So Mr. Judge, I dare you to try and take Nolan Ryan's team away from him on a day that he is known to kick the shit out of all that get in his way. Good luck to you and God Bless!

And that goes for you too Cuban...

Friday

C.J. pitched well last night. Not great but what you would want out of your starter any given day of the week. Jorge Cantu is a Ranger. If you are a real Rangers fan you would know that already. It's Friday. Have a good weekend.

He Has Been Gone How Long and He Is Still Fucking Us?

Don't forget us fans.

Yep, A-Rod is no longer playing "just the tip" as he is full on fucking the Rangers as if from the grave as he has objected to the bankruptcy auction. The worst contract in sports history (A-Rod's, if you are not following) is still haunting this organization and I want to cunt punch Tom Hicks so hard it is not even funny. That being said, I am not a complete idiot and I understand what A-Rod is doing but it is so disheartening to read a headline like that when I just want that fucker to be out of the Rangers' picture forever. He has become that psycho ex-girlfriend that just won't go away. A-Rod, GO THE FUCK AWAY!

Trade Rumors still abound. Prince Fielder in the mix and maybe some Fausto Carmona. Prince will cost ALOT though. Carmona could be a value deal as he provides an upgrade over most of our arms and is not a "rental" so to speak. My Ranger's wiener is fully erect!

Kinsler to the DL. Shit. Fuck.

8.5 Game Lead

Oakland and Los Angeles you are now 8.5 games back each! So, I apparently missed a hell of a game last night. I had another engagement so I missed the entire thing (fuck you other engagement). Cliff Lee is dealing (despite not getting the win) and Nelson Cruz is still stronger than the sasquatch on the Jack Link's beef jerky commercials.

Yesterday Tim Kurkjian from ESPN said of the Dan Haren trade that it was more for the 2011 and 2012 seasons because "the Angels won't catch the Rangers." He also went on to say that the Rangers are better than everyone thinks. Tim Kurkjian knows his shit so it is nice to see someone of his stature notice this Rangers team.

Last but not least I want to give C.J. props for his last start as that was another game I missed.

Mark Cuban and Other Notes

Heeeeeey Guuuuuys! Let's Go Rangers!

I am not a big fan of Mark Cuban as a human being but I am a big fan of the excitement and commitment to winning that Mark Cuban brings to the table. It looks as if MLB has approved Mark Cuban as a bidder to purchase the team out of the Chapter 11 proceedings. That being said, I love Cuban's desire to go out there and get what he needs to win and he will spend the money but the best of both worlds would be for Cuban's enthusiasm to win partnered with the talent scouting and management in place. In other words, bring your wallet to the table Cuban but don't get crazy. For example (and I know jack shit about basketball) I hated when the Mavericks traded Devin Harris away for Jason Kidd. We don't need bullshit like that going on.

Anyways, I am rambling and probably pretty nonsensical but things are staying exciting around this team. The rumors are abound as the Rangers are heard to be looking at the arms of Roy Oswalt and Chris Volstad and the bats of Jorge Cantu and Derrek Lee. If I were the Rangers I would see what the going rate on Ricky Nolasco is rather than Chris Volstad.

Two Final Notes: Haha, the Angels new acquisition Dan Haren got hit by a line drive in his first appearance. God's sign that he is still on the Rangers side? Also, thanks Matt Garza for the No no. My fantasy team needed that.
