“The slider curled in so neatly on Rodriguez-—who hit .190 with two runs batted in over the entire ALCS-—that he might not have been able to pull the trigger on the swing even with a vault door in his hands for a bat. The gigastar who wanted out of Texas after the 2003 season because he wasn’t crazy about being surrounded with twenty-four kids could only stand frozen as a kid dropped a pennant-winning third strike in on him.”
That really was sweet.
And when the Rangers had them down 3-1 in the series - Star Telegram writer, Randy Galloway wrote: ‘The Boys of Bankruptcy now have the Bank of Baseball shoved to the brink.’ in reference to the financial status of the two teams. Guess money really can’t buy everything.
The Rangers just signed a very lucrative TV deal, so they will be able to compete with the big guns for players.
I think Cliff Lee will be a Ranger for a long time.
Guess money really can’t buy everything.If it could, my New York Mess (er, Mets, my Mets) and my Boston Red Sox (don't ask what my Class A drug bill was in 1986!!!) would be winning pennants every year, or at least every other year, assuming they could stay off the disabled lists.
...and for only $25 million per year...
