It's awesome that he was even there to call it. Nobody else deserved that honor more.

Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?
My first Rangers game was somewhere in the 70s. It was old timers day. In those days they actually played an old timer's game before the actual game. Everybody who was anybody that was still alive was in that Old Timer's game! Mickey Mantle, Willie Mayes, Harmon Killebrew, I believe Joe DiMaggio was there, too. I remember Mickey couldn't run for shit, but he could still knock the shit out of the ball. That's about all I remember about it, but fuck, man. It's been a loooong haul. I never made it to many Rangers games, but I was always glued to the radio listening to Dick Risenhoover exclaim "GoodBYYYYE BaseBaaallll!!!" It got me through a lot of childhood times. Never even expected a championship to happen, just as long as they kept on slugging it out. Fuck me, they got us a World Series!

Y'all ever hear this old joke? A Texan goes to Hell. Devil notices he's not even sweating. He asks him how he's taking it so well." Texan: "Man, this is just like those Spring afternoons in Lockhart next to the barbecue pit!"" Devil cranks up the heat. Cauldrons are boiling over, little demons bursting into flames. Devil: "How do you like that, bitch?" Texan: "Awesome! It reminds me of those magical summer days on my grandpappy's ranch in McAllen!" Devil thinks on it a minute and figures, "Ah, these Texans are used to the heat. I'll make it super cold!" All the Cauldrons get iced over, pitchforks sticking to the little demons hands, lava turns into snowy avalanches. Texan: "WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!!! Devil is all like, "What the fuck man?" Texan: "The TEXAS RANGERS JUST WON THE MOTHERFUCKIN' WORLD SERIES!" Can't tell that one no more.

Of course. Chapman and Sborz are always automatic. Glad LePew didn't have to come in. LOL

The Texas Rangers become the first team in MLB history to win a world series while still being shitty! I'll take it.

Who had Sborz finishing the World Series clincher? I love this team. What a story. Should be a movie. Nobody would believe it.

Rangers have become Chapman proof. This shit is over.
-

Imagine if Chapman recorded the World Series clinching win. That would be appropriate.

Smoltz is saying too much good stuff about Texas. Time to worry?

I stopped by Spec's to get some celebratory hooch for the impending moment, but they didn't have anything I really wanted. That might be the thing that locks it up. I guess it will be Fresca and pineapple sparkling water.

Obviously, I would be thrilled to death if Texas could put this shit away tonight and be world champs. But there is a little part of me that wishes the journey could continue on a bit longer.
