    I can get behind that. I love bashing on Dallas area sports teams.

    The tables have turned indeed, in basketball and baseball anyway. That air of arrogant superiority that I got from owner Mark Cuban and manager Jeff Banister was maddening. One or two years of Mavs/Rangers irrelevancy isnt near enough to make up for what has seemed decades of abuse from them. No, those guys need to remain in the gutter for a loooooong time before I will be content :mad:

    It's like watching someone play checkers when everyone else is playing 3d chess....

    It's not the classiest things. Maybe people will be more generous the next time the Astros win it all. ;)

    It’s laughable that they don’t realize it’s time to rebuild. Do they really think that adding Greinke and that contract would give them any sort of chance at competing in the short-term/building for the long-term? I’ll say it again... LAUGHABLE.

    The Rangers are like us circa 2009.

    Flailing hopelessly, refusing to acknowledge the reality of our situation....so I hope they keep trying to win.

    The more flailing by the Mariners and the Rangers the better.

    There one Carlos Lee or Miguel Tejada away. Maybe they have a reunion tour with Raf Palmiero? Dont call it a comeback, hes roided for years.

    I do agree that they need to bring up their prospects to see what they have. Keep adding veterans is not the answer, they have enough of them.

    Julio Franco has been reincarnated as Yuli Gurriel.
