It's All Right Now, In Fact It's a Gas
Quick Thoughts on a Wednesday Night in Early August
- As I told my Mom this afternoon, being a fan of the Texas Rangers is maddening. As a fan base our collective pathos comes nowhere near that of Red Sox nation pre-2004, but I am beginning to empathize with fans of the Miami Dolphins. Someone once compared the Dolphins' annual collapse to Hannukah, because they didn't always know when it happened, but it was sometime in December. The same thing could be said about the Rangers, except for the whole Hannukah thing. Someone needs to create an August holiday to complete the analogy.
- I'm hiring Maurice Clarett as my personal bodyguard. Yes, his behavior might be a little erratic but at least he is well-armed.
- As I watched Roy Oswalt homer off of Shawn Chacon tonight in Houston (although it was into the Crawford Boxes in the left-field corner of Minute Maid Park which is not exactly Death Valley in the original Yankee Stadium, but I digress) I began to think. Is there anything more demoralizing as a baseball pitcher than having your counterpart pitcher hit a homer off of you?

Justin,
Song is jumping jack flash - stones
-all sports should collapse
-it might be helpful if your body guard was in his right mind as well as being well armed. Someone a little more low key might be better
-i think walking in the winning run might be more demoralizing. With the pitcher it is just one lucky swing. But what can you say about 4 balls
