He’s done it for 12 years and the bottom line is before the year is over, he’s going to do something grand for this club.

He sure did do something grand.

In the first inning.

On the 5th pitch...

... of the most important game of the season.

Since we are in reassessment mode, I wonder if we should look at ourselves.
Conjecture was that management reads this blog.
Wonder who else reads this public forum?

Lots of good baseball talk on here.
Unfortunately, there is lots of profanity and personal insults on here.
Anonymous identity may make this easier, but it shouldn't.

Should we clean up our verbal lineup and make our personal WAR a good solid positive number?
Should we consider that our wife/son/daughter/Dad/Mom/nephew/niece might be reading here because they love the Rangers?
Should they be exposed to the personal filth that flows though this blog?

If you are worse than any other DH, should you expect to be in the lineup or should you be benched?
If you are dipping your back shoulder resulting vulgar pop ups, should you expect to continue to lead off?
Should your continued pitches in the dirt with a low strike to ball ratio result in a quick call to the bullpen?
Our OBP is low because of undisciplined verbal swings at bad pitches.

Vibrant, robust and active conversation is a great part of this blog.
Let's keep THIS game clean between the lines and make ourselves better because of what we have read/wrote on this forum/blog.

I fully expect to be standing on first in a minute after HBP.

Joey, great sentiment expressed with today's eulogy.
2012 should have been better than this.

I'm devestated that the season is over.

I'm even more devestated that guys I've come to love over the years going back well before 2010 didn't perform to make themselves invaluable to the team and may not return.

The Rangers without Young and/or Kinsler. It literally makes me sad to think about. And not just sports sad, really actually sad.
