Ranger Fan

Are other Ranger fans beaten down yet?

Saw the interview with the Globtrotter, so I'm sure I saw the young man.

Not to hijack the thread but did anyone see the Ranger game Sunday and the lack of hustle.

Watching the Rangers/Blue jays game yesterday there were two plays that were totally inexcusable.
The first was when Ian Kinsler was on first base with two out and Michael Young hit a fly ball to right field. Ian Just jogging around the bases failed to score when the left fielder dropped the ball.

Second, Hank Blaylock hits a shot to right field and it one hops the right field fence. Replay shows Hank jogging out of the batters box and ends up with a single.

Taught from T-Ball to hustle out ever ball.
By the way, Texas lost 5-4 in 10.

Its sad when you have a runner on third base with no outs and can't score him.

Call up all the Roughriders and let the kids play.

In frustration the other day I told my son to run out ground balls like a REAL ballplayer, in a joking/smarty way, he said A-Rod doesn't run out grounders and he is a REAL ballplayer. Man, I hate pro sports sometimes.

The Angel players where hustling down the line in tonights game, at least in the first 4 innings.(That I watched)

Went to the game last night. Hamilton threw to SS when he had a play at plate allowing Guerrero to score. Later he dogged a pop fly that fell in. Was pretty pathetic.

He was loudly booed.

It's a shame and, sad to say, reflects on the manager. I am not making excuses for highly paid professionals -- and Washington only has a few (weak) options in the outfield. Hamilton has quickly become a fan favorite. I hope he gains focus.

I would rather spend my money on a good (or bad ) college baseball game any day, and believe me, I've seen both.

Glad I'm not a Ranger fan! They are a beat down to watch!!! Thank goodness for MLB Extra Innings!!!

I also agree about watching college baseball. I would rather go out to UTA (only a short jog from the house) than go out to the Ballpark.

funneldrill,

I will say there is one non-high school team playing well in the Arlington area right now. UTA is 8-2 in it's last ten games. Just swept McNeese State for the first time in school history at Lake Charles this past weekend. But.......Oklahoma State at UTA today and the Longhorns in Austin tomorrow, did I mention they were 8-2 in their last ten games.

One thing I will say though, you will see hustle for nine innings!

What in the world is this Ranger team thinking. They can not even get the funda"mentals" right. Horrible fielding, base running etc.... I would take Plano West or Rowlett to beat the Rangers right now. They might want to go out tonight and catch a real baseball game around the area and learn how the game is played...

OK off my soap box now..
