The Day From Hell

Today has been THE DAY FROM HELL for anyone that is a TEXAS RANGER fan. To begin with TOM HICKS, owner of both the Dallas Stars and the Texas Rangers,and other sport venues, such as some obscure soccerr team in EUROPE, has been like a pimple on the butt of all sports fans in Dallas/Ft. Worth and has set the sports scene back nearly 20 years. In fact, on this day in 1993, Robin Ventura charged the mound after a pitch from Nolan Ryan, and what has become one of the most famous photographs in baseball, Nolan has Ventura in a headlock and is punching the crap out of him. IF ONLY NOLAN COULD USE THAT TECHNIQUE TODAY!!!



The group of Dallas Maverick Owner Mark Cuban/ Houston Businessman Jim Crane and the GROUP WHO THOUGHT THEY ALREADY OWNED THE RANGERS, Nolan Ryan/Pittsburg Sports Attorney Chuck Greenburg, gathered for AUCTION of the TEXAS RANGERS at the US BANKRUPTCY COURT in Ft. Worth. This is what it has come down to, a bidding war , winner getting the RANGERS. The real losers in all this could be the FANS. Nolan is a basball legend and current president of the club and deserves alot of the credit for all the success the club is having this season. Let's just say THE FIRST PLACE TEXAS RANGERS. They have been winning with money restraints all season. I can't believe how well they have been playing with all the crap that is going on around them. OH YEAH.....How about Ron Washington for Manager of the Year!! In preseason we were just looking to see how long it would be before he is fired after the off season drug problems.Who the hell knows what, who...anything about the future of this club. TO borrow a line from former Dallas Cowboy Coach BARRY SWITZER..."JUST WIN BABY" For those interested in the outcome of the bid, it may go on into the night. As I write, nothing final. Check your paper or electronic sources tomorrow for the WINNER.
