I have been allowed to post a Texas Ranger's blog on here, and I am going to give it the college effort.  So mostly I expect this will be a way I can complain about other team's fans, keep track of how many games I've been to this year (2 so far, not including tonight), and probably a miserable failure at trying to be slightly funny.

So far I am very happy with this team.  I am getting a feeling like it's a now or never year, which of course it always is.  But JD will pull some trades and signings out to ensure the safety of this team for the next few years in time.  But that's months away.

Last nights game was pretty great.  We got tickets through the organization, which is becoming increasingly rare, due to how cheap tickets are on stubhub.  There was a couple kids who were apparently  White Sox fans behind us wearing Cardinals caps that were a little obnoxious, but not too bad.  Josh came out to play, and showed it with both his bat and glove.  I believe this is only going to drive up his asking price, which Magic Johnson will only be too happy to sign him for.  Anything longer than 3 years is too long for a player who goes as hard as he does and is as fragile as he is.  It seems like its crunch time to get Leonys Martin up and ready to take over as the franchise's center fielder, at least for the next couple years.  The only thing with that is that I've been hearing he's having problems with some of the more elementary aspects of the game (base running and such).  That will come with time, but just how much is needed is the question.  There has been grumblings about trades, but it seems like people are just throwing out names like Adam Jones and Justin Morneau.

At any rate, I will post more on this subject as things develop.  It's time for me to head out to the temple and catch Yu's first game (not literally...not trying to step on Nap's toes, alright that was really dumb).  Can't wait.
