Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
Last night's loss sucked, but for me it wasn't as bad as the previous one, when they just played like shit the whole game. I already knew when Maton came out for the 8th that it was going to come down to Garcia in the 9th and it likely wouldn't go well. I was totally prepared for that eventuality. The number one thing the Rangers needed to fix, didn't get fixed. Bochy needs to get over that crush and move on to finding who has the stomach for it.

Regular Garcia is back, unfortunately. He's not a closer.

Rangers should really get double-runs for getting those fatasses around all them bases.

All Jerry had to do was keep his fucking mouth shut.

Roger Goodell ain't gonna rig the draft to give the Cowboys the first pick.

Jerry won' trade him until they have no choice. Parson's has a lot of mood swings and says a lot of shit. The feeling may not last, or maybe it was a bargaining tool to hasten serious negotiations. Either way, Jerry will go into the season levying fines or whatever until it's a lost cause before giving up on this one. Ain't no trade going to compensate for his value, especially if it is on picks they will fuck up. Can't blame Parsons for the frustration, but this has been the way Jerry go. Jerry might have screwed the pooch on this one. You don't fuck around with HOF talent in mid career to this extent. But I have a feeling there will be a deal, hopefully sooner than later.

OK, I like this new pitcher guy. His bio says he's 6-1, 170. I'm thinking that could be a bit outdated,

Suddenly, I am far less encouraged. Team looks more like May June Rangers. They look like dogshit tonight.

Neat additions. Nice committee of bullpen arms. Even if one of them doesn't grab that legit closer role and kick ass with it, gives them a deep group of quality dudes. I still don't see Garcia lasting as a pure man dawg closer, though his last couple of outings looked good. Starters give them the opportunity to mix and match sort of a 6-man thing where they can give the older guys managing issues some extra rest days when needed. It will be interesting to see where Rocker and Leiter end up fitting in the next few weeks. It is possible both could stay up, but that's a lot of arms to manage on the roster.

No problem with the Ferguson contract. He's very good when he's been healthy, still young. In a year his salary will be average starting TE, he'll probably be at least that as a player. That's the way NFL go. TE's that can make plays for an average salary don't grow on trees. Best of all, it probably keeps Dallas from reaching for a first or second round pick overdrafting another sure-fire future star TE bust. That can save that pick for another Michigan DT bust.

One thing we know for sure, he's not McCarthy, and has a new, younger staff. Already a step in the right direction. After that, we'll see what happens.

Classic Gray. I like the guy, when he's hot he's hot. But I hate the decisions to put him in game-changing moments so soon after he's been out with a very long layoff.

McCartney roll call
I saw him there about 30 years ago, first year of the dome. I think I payed about $35 for the tickets at HEB.

What do you order at Whataburger?
I was looking up that toy to see how far back it goes, looks like late 90s, and this popped up in the search. Should be in a museum.
