Joshy We Need You!

Yikes, the Blue Jays are making mince-meat out of my Rangers.  After 2 initial beatings from the Jays,  I thought the game last night was about to slip away too after the Rangers had an early comfortable lead.  The Jays were trouble last year too as I recall.  Ranger pitchers are struggling, and until yesterday, so were the hitters, except Michael Young.  I think we all know the moment this little slide started too.

No, not this…

But this:

That’s right.   I received this card in the mail the day Hamilton got hurt.   I have tried changing placement of this card several times over the past two weeks (from the Rangers Binder to to my bedside table to the kid's bedroom room to the play room)  while the Rangers slumped, and thought I finally had it in the right place (in a snap case with other high end cards in a box on our bookshelves) as the Rangers swept the Royals.  Apparently, I need to move it again.   I can sense the Rangers struggles radiating from the card.   It is not pleased about something, and I don't know what to do.   Please don’t suggest I destroy it, either.  I mean come on... that would be absurd. 

Thank you Rangers!

For the great start this season.  I really wanted to post something after the 3 game brain-beating-bashing of Boston, but I was able to stop myself when I realized that my not posting is the reason they had started so well!  So I held off while they swept the Mariners.  I was thinking 162-0 was not only possible, but highly likely.  But maybe that was expecting too much.  Now that they have lost a game, I can start up my Rangers posts and not feel guilty about it.  Rangers fans, feel free to thank me for holding out as long as I did.    And standing on an uncompromising history of heterosexuality, let me just say to all of the Rangers, especially Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler:  I love you.

I didn't realize it until I scanned it, but that 2010 silk card of Cruz is numbered with his jersey #17!  That's got to be a sign!  Texas Rangers, World Series Champions 2011, 2012 and 2013!!!!!
