I still say you guys are welcome to A-Rod. Fact, I'd have been happy to swap him straight up for Soriano...the other players were just gravy.
Rangers fan that I am, and have been since '78 or '79, I recognize why we never do anything worth remembering. Until such time as the Texas Rangers baseball team recognizes two imprtant facts, namely...
1. All the home run hitters in baseball are useless unless you have some semblance of a pitching staff, and
2. The best way to combat your biggest enemy, the Texas heat at your home stadium, is to load your team with Latino players who grew up in similar climates...
they will continue to do squat. I pray that someday they will defy the odds of mathematics and make me as happy as some of the Boston fans were this last season. I might be 80 when it happens though...
