[NICKinDALLAS]

After telling Gunny that I would need massive amounts of time to prepare and post this thread I sat down to put my thoughts together. Here's what I came up with:
I wanted to start with the strike from a few years back and how I couldn't relate to millionaires fighting over millions, but that's really not it. I wanted to mention that supposed superstars are padding their stats by using performance enhancing drugs and setting a bad example for our kids, but that's really not it either.
What it really comes down to is two little words: Texas Rangers. They suck. A lot. Or those two words could be Tom Hicks. A jackass of an owner who publicly admits that it is only a business to him and as long as he is making money; who cares?
But in reality the two little word's are: I'm spoiled.
In the mid 80's I watched and rooted for a VERY bad Cowboy team. In the early 90's I watched and rooted for a VERY VERY bad Mavericks team. So why won't I extend the same courtesy to the Rangers? I had time back then. I didn't have deadlines or quotas at work, I didn't have 3 kids and a wife vying for my time. Add this to the above mentioned reasons and that gives you the title of this thread: BASEBALL SUCKS.
