You've Got a Problem, I Think You Know
Congratulations to Mr. Dan Carlson for correctly naming "My City of Ruins" by Bruce Springsteen as the Tuesday Song of the Day.
As much as I enjoy anything that negatively impacts that baseball franchise located in the Bronx, the A-Rod steroid revelations are somewhat bittersweet due to the fact that his Primobolan -enhanced exploits took place while he was employed by the only baseball franchise that breaks, ahem, warms my heart, the Texas Rangers.

At this point, I'm really just looking for a list from Major League Baseball that tells me who didn't take steroids between the strike-shortened season of 1994 and the present day. If I somehow learn that in 1993, a newly-retired Nolan Ryan contemplated a return to the big leagues courtesy of a Primobolan boost, in the same year that I've been exposed to the worst of the 90's Cowboys-dynasty, well, I think I'm going to be begin to question whether the universe is really a benevolent and loving place after all.Current Reading

I heard you took steriods as SA president.

If regular dining at Harold's is a performance-enhancing drug, then consider me guilty as charged.
Why don't you pick a new babseball team (like the Astros) so avoid that feeling.

Tim,
Much like I couldn't choose my parents, I could not choose the Rangers.
The Rangers chose me.
Also, much like I wouldn't change my parents, I wouldn't change my support for the Rangers.
One day, the years and years of support will be worth it, or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
Are you really listening to "You're a God" by Vertical Horizon? That's cool and all, but . . . you have really taken this post-PC lifestyle a little too far . . .
I thought a lot about leaving the Rangers way back in elementary school. But there's something about the blue-and-red that draws me back year after year after year. Even when I don't know who the players are, I try to make it up to Arlington at least once a year, if only to try to keep my streak up. Believe it or not, I have never been to a Rangers game where they lost. It's something like 9 or 10 games now.
Maybe I should buy season tickets . . .
Masten,
How dare you come here and accuse me of listening to Vertical Horizon? You might as well tell the world that I was behind the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Arena Football League, and the continued production of "Two and a Half Men". I hope you'll think about what you've said here.
On to the Rangers...after reading the final sentence of your second paragraph, I think your phone is ringing. It's Tom Hicks and he's offering you a seat in his box with unlimited hot dogs, ice cream in miniature baseball helmets, and beer so long as you come to all 81 games in Arlington this year.
Well, if I have to take one for the team . . .
