Happy Thoughts, Happy Thoughts, Happy Thoughts…April 24th, 2008
|
I didn’t get to hear the whole game last night versus the Tigers. I know we had a 5-0 lead in the 2nd. Uhm, why did it suddenly get really quiet in here? Why won’t anyone make eye contact with me? Did something bad just happen to the Rangers?
Wow. Okay, we’re bad. I get that now. Historically bad, even for the Texas Rangers, which for those of you just joining us is really, really, really, rea…well, you get the point. Listen to the radio broadcasts. Eric and Victor are already bored with this season. They are veering off into stuff they don’t usually kill time with until July. They know it. Now, I do too. We’re really bad this year.
I mean, it’s one thing to know the Ranger’s season is over and wonder how long until the Cowboy’s training camp. BUT WE HAVEN’T EVEN HAD THE DRAFT YET. (Jerry, take Razorback FB Felix Jones…you won’t be sorry…) 22 games into the season and it’s done. And I’m the optimist out of me and Cary. He wrote them off two days ago, before they gave up 19 runs to the Tigers. By the way, if you are going to a game on the upcoming homestand, be sure to bring your glove! No seriously, for protection from opposing homeruns and our infield defense. It’s no accident that they are giving out batting helmets this weekend. And if you snag an errant throw or two you might get into the game. 
(Not me, though. I had 7 errors at second base in one softball game. And it would have been worse if I had gone out there for a third inning…)
So, now that we can all fold that optimism up, barely even touched, and put it away until later, let’s get on with finding the happy, sunny spots in this season. No more negative stuff. No more gloom and doom, because we are done for 08. We are the Battlestar Galactica, and the rest of this season is about picking up survivors and looking for a new home, a home called 2009. (Go ahead. Picture Ron Washington in the Admiral Adama role. It’s pretty funny…) Find out who can pitch. Find out if Josh Hamilton is the real deal and lock him up for a few years. Pull another couple of great vets-for-prospects trades. Then sit back and find the happy thoughts.
Hey, Kason Gabbard threw a no-hitter the other night at Fenway….
