Kinda quick and dirty with the Rangers Series Preview.

Also, fuck Dallas.

Short, and to the point.

Your preview, I mean.  Very nice.

Dallas is easy to hate any time of the year.  But right now, with the ungodly heat reflecting off of miles and miles of concrete, the only feature on the horizon being the distant smoke from raging wildfires headed Metroplex way from New Mexico and Oklahoma and the panhandle; with the only game in town a non-rivalry between the AL West leading boring-est team in baseball, with the boring-est anoouncers, the boring-est players, and the boring-est fans, versus the worst W-L record in MLB . . . with all that going for it, I believe the operative word vis-a-vis Dallas this time of year is "avoid."

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the preview.  I wonder if I'll get to see some solid red shirts, solid blue shirts, some antlers and claws.

Nice work. Dallas blows all year, but in the summertime, it blows even more.

Yeah, but are you going to the game?

No, just my comment on the banality of the Rangers, their fans, and those super-cool hand signs

For once, I have absolutely no quarrel with any of these statements.

Last season, I was puzzled as to what the antlers and claws meant. They just started appearing all over the place, multiplying like rabbits.

This season, I have decided: don't tell me about the rabbits. I don't really give a crap.
