I have to say that I agree.. But they seem to be growing on me a little..

It reminds me of the horrendous uniforms Graham used to wear

That helmet is awful...just look at the pictures of the players wearing it at the unveiling...they all have a sheepish "I can't believe I'm actually wearing this" look.

When did the Rangers actually start playing high school girls softball? I mean their play in the league would lead you to believe they have been playing but seriously.

Right...because 79 wins is just downright awful...what an embarrassment to the league that a team finished four games below .500...:rolleyes:

sorry to get a little snippy there...as a die-hard Rangers fan, I get tired of putting up with all the "minor-league"-type jokes when they really haven't been bad over the past few years. I mean, finishing around .500 isn't something to hang your hat on, but there are a dozen teams who haven't been nearly as good as the Rangers over the past few seasons. It seems that it's just become commonplace to poke fun at the team regardless of what's taking place on the field.

That would be the NY Yankees. With their payroll anything less
than winning the WS every single year should be considered
pure and utter failure.

the game.

I don't think it's serious. They have him listed as day to day. His
back up came in and hit a three run shot though. So, he might
want to get back in a hurry.:D

No. It is Americas past time.

Baseball = boring. So on those lazy summer afternoons, you turn on the game, take a nap and kill a couple hours.

Nope its correctly known as America's game..

And yes its boring to people who aren't smart enough to wrap their mind around it...

Golf is widely known for its ability to put people to sleep, I think that is what you have baseball confused with.

It looks like there is a red "face-hugger" trying to get through the back of the helmet!
