Ready for REAL baseball...

posted by Tom in Ohio

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping in! Time for the intro: My name is Tom and I am a Texas Rangers fan stuck in a media market(Ohio) geared for everything but Rangers Baseball. This is a brand new blog devoted to those people who care for Rangers baseball, and with the intent to foster a bit of discussion about things that may or may not be covered with the scrutiny it deserves. The title of the blog here is a throwback to one of the most exciting Rangers squads to take the field in Arlington under the guidance of Johnny Oates. My Mets pal Dan and I spent more time in the new ballpark than we did at home. We bought the cheap seats in the third deck over Rusty Greer in left field, or squeezed into the bleachers waiting to catch a dinger from any number of guys in the lineup. (Currently, while there is snowfall in Akron, the memory of 100 degrees in the sun on an August afternoon watching a ballgame is like bliss.) What an awesome season that was; not to take away from other playoff runs we have had since, but that was great. Moving on, a little bit about what you will most likley encounter on this page......we'll get started with pure unabashed Yankee hatred. Sorry for all of the middle of the road fans who may be indifferent, but this is the bunch who is responsible for dashing all of the hopes and successes of post season play in almost every occasion. We may often scrutinize some decision making from the front office as well. To sum this up, it's going to hopefully be an interesting place for everyone to read and comment on Rangers news that isn't tainted by one media bias or another including some management folks. I will be posting again a little later today, so stay tuned!!!
