Just Like Honey From the Bee
Congratulations to Mrs. Katrina Kincaid for correctly naming "Sugar Magnolia" by The Grateful Dead as the Wednesday Song of the Day.
If the franchise with the most losses in Major League history can bring home a World Series title, surely the Rangers can as well.

Right?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Oh well, at least Phillies fans found a good way to celebrate last night, although I'm not sure if the "Hit Your Fellow Citizen (Who Just Happens to Be Hanging From a Traffic Signal) In the Head With a Bottle" celebration should be replicated all across this great nation.
You stay classy, Philadelphia.

tupelo honey-- van morrison.
i love that song...
Prediction: If the Rangers ever win the World Series, the people of DFW will go outside and celebrate in a calm and orderly fashion. Big City Northerners will look on in dismay wondering why they don't destroy their place of residence.
Connor,
I disagree. I predict that the denizens of DFW will load into their cars, drive 15 miles east to downtown Dallas or 15 miles west to downtown Fort Worth, maintain their rioting fervor while inside their vehicles, and then bring about mass chaos.
You're probably right, but you never truly know how wacky things can get out in suburbia.
I forgot about their penchant for doing everything in their vehicles. I'm now picturing Las Colinas in flames and I'm not saddened by this.
I'm calling it right here and now. 2009 is the Year of the Ranger. Let's look at the stats:
1985: Royals win the World Series
1990: Reds win the World Series
2004: Red Sox win the World Series
2007: Rockies win the NL pennant
2008: Rays win the AL pennant
You may be asking yourself, "What does this have to do with anything?" Well, here's a list of teams whose mascots begin with "R": Royals, Reds, Red Sox, Rockies, Rays, and . . . Rangers.
Need more proof?
1992, 1993: Toronto wins World Series
2008: Tampa Bay wins the AL pennant
What teams have geographic designations beginning with "T"? The Toronto Blue Jays, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Texas Rangers.
So. Let's review. The only team whose mascot begins with an "R" who hasn't at least won a pennant is the Rangers. And the only team whose geographic designation begins with a "T" who hasn't at least won a pennant is Texas.
Ergo, 2009 = Year of the Ranger.
Q.E.D.
Mr. Masten,
I stand and applaud you, sir. That logic is irrefutable.
