I've tried to avoid as much coverage as I can today. I can't take it. Unfortunately, I'm not at all optimistic and I've tried to resign myself to somehow being satisfied with the overall season if they lose tonight. That's not to say I don't think they can win...I'm just not feeling great about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dagwave Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 LaRussa's pregame groin grab was way out of line. He definitely should have gone with the buttpant pullout/ scratch combo. Just sayin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I would've asked for either the front or back of Freese's shredded jersey. The HOF could take the other half, whatever. Question:Trying to figure out a way to ask this without ruffling any feathers but I don't know if I can, so I'm just going to fire away. I'm curious how the Rangers fans on the board feel about every-other crowd shot in Arlington being of GWB? I'm curious how that feels to a fan of the Rangers, who's not a fan of the man? Seriously.

He's a former owner of the Rangers and a former president of this country and he goes to a ton of games during the season. What's the problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Doesn't his sitting next to the owner of the Rangers have something to do with it, too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's the problem? There's no problem. I know he was a part-owner. Regardless of your political bent, I think you have to admit that he was and remains a pretty polarizing figure, so I'm curious how a die-hard Rangers fan who didn't care for GWB reconciles those two feelings. But, if people would rather not discuss it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I love Theo already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I love Theo already. I wonder who the next Cub's manager will be, Ryno was the fan favorite choice, but I don't think the best. Theo stated he wanted someone with Big League experience. I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone like Bob Brenely, the Cubs current TV color guy. He has won a world series, knows the cubs organizations, and has some very interesting ideas about the team. There is some talk that Theo will try to get Francona to manage for the Cubs, but I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
