Arlington, TX—Having grown weary of competition, General Manager Jon Daniels announced that there will be a series of fines for good play. The announcement came Tuesday, April 7, 2009, in hopes of curtailing the success of the franchise during an economic malaise.
According to Daniels, the decision wasn’t a difficult one. He insisted that success is a negative reminder to the unemployed, and that “feelings of guilt could cause tragedy amongst family members and baseball fans.”

I don’t know, they might not be too bad this year. They beat last years’ Cy Young winner, 9-1 on Opening Day.

Don’t really see a lot of need in listed fines here.
Most of that will never happen anyway! :)

I don’t know, they might not be too bad this year. They beat last years’ Cy Young winner, 9-1 on Opening Day.And they're in red. Back when they were having good years they were in red. Maybe this time?

The Rangers are a Farm Team. It is about player development and then selling them off. If a player is mediocre, he can have a 15+ year career with the Rangers.

Sent to my uncle in Plano, he’s a Rangers fan. :)
