It will be interesting to see how the Rangers fare in the off-season now that it’s the first one with Ryan in firm control.
Will they sign Cliff? I think they really need to focus on improving the offense, get a better catcher and First baseman, and get at least another big bat in here, because I don’t see Guerrero having another year like this one, and also because if Josh gets hurt for an extended period, the offense will really suffer.
But the good news is that Free Agents now are going to have Texas high on their list of their preferred teams, which will be a huge change.
Yes, to Cliff Lee! Oh, and did you hear what those horrible Yankees fans did to Cliff Lee’s wife when she was at Yankee Stadium? Apparently(according to the story I heard on locally), the fans were exceedingly obnoxious to her to the point of spitting at her and attempting to spill their adult beverages on her. If the Yankees think the missus is going to want to pack up and move to NY after that, they really are delusional.
I hope the Rangers can attract good talent along with developing their own. The new owners will not let this team languish in purgatory like prior owners have. I would have loved to see the Rangers win it all this year as a cosmic apology to all the players and fans that stuck by this team through good times and bad(mostly bad). It would have been a final knife between the ribs of Tom Hicks to see the team he had to sell, win it all AFTER he no longer owned them.
Oh, well...there are always Election Night returns! That’s the one I am anxious and excited to see.
