Baseball Time In Texas

I went to Opening Day in Arlington. Then I went again tonight. First two games of the season and two wins over the team that's supposed to win the World Series this year according to the "East Coast Bias" network.

And it's just really fun to have a good baseball team. DFW is really getting behind the Rangers, and it's just great to be out there among the fans. When the Rangers hit a home run, everyone high fives each other, and there's just a great community feel. And it's especially great to beat all of the bandwagon Red Sox fans who never gave the Rangers a chance. They tried to do a chant early in the game, but it was easily and quickly squashed by the Ranger faithful..

I don't know if this team has what it takes to win a championship as presently constructed (I have major concerns about the pitching), but it's definitely a fun team to watch. And their lineup should be enough to get them to the playoffs, possibly no matter what happens with the pitching.

So go check out the Ballpark. Cheer for the home team. And try to forget that the Mavs are choke artists, the Stars aren't quite yet there, and that there probably won't be an NFL season in 2011.
