While I don't feel for the Cowboys, I feel for you with the Rangers.
However, I sure hope I get a chance to be pissed that this hat is obsolete.
I hope I get the chance to have to make a decision to either replace it with a new one or can find a person to stitch that 7 into an 8.
Only way I can assure that for myself is for Texas to fall.

First, let me go on record as saying I hate the Yankees...I'm a Red Sox fan and a Phillies fan, so my reasons are sound

....But, I gotta say, money ain't an object....when they see a need, they spend and go fill it...2 years ago the 3 biggest free agents were CC, Texeira and Burnett....all 3 wound up in pinstripes....was I happy with it...no way...but I respect it...

Very respectable points and one of a loyal fan.

That said, why did you let Babe Ruth go for 100k?

Ouch!!!

Come on Pete, that was a lifetime ago.
My butt is still hurting from when they came back down 3 games to nothing against the Yankees and went on to win the World Series.
I have yet to get over that one.

Well, if you want to get technical, Theo Epstein had a shot at Tex and let A-Rod go for a total difference of about a million from what the Yankees got him for....

And, they thought Ruth was a lousy pitcher.

I'm getting out of here.

Keith,

ESPN did a whole 60 minute show the other night on that collapse with behind the scenes footage.

I manged to watch the whole thing and, this is hard to say, felt glad for that crew with Shilling bleeding on the mound and a scruffy Johnny Damon and the others acting like a bunch of Little League kids.

See, I can do it.

I love baseball.

Quite painful indeed.

2nd on my "butt hurts" list is that seventh WS game against the Diamondbacks.
Man that one hurts almost as much, though not nearly.

3rd would be the Marlins. The freaking Marlins. Freaking fish that nobody goes to see other than in a World Series and they win. Freaking Beckett. Maricon!!!

I think I have some unresolved issues.
