If Greenberg ends up buying the team, Ryan would remain in his current role. If Gilbert's group buys the team, it's unlikely that Ryan would stay with the Rangers. This would snuff all hope of a pennant next year.Hicks needs to be totally out also.... he does nothing for the team. We really need an owner that cares about baseball....not a soccer lover that is $500 million in debt.

Lookout American league.... making some moves!

Riley Cooper should just go try and play football.As a baseball player, he hit .247 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 30 games. He hit .207 in 22 games in 2008. This summer he played for McKinney in the Texas Collegiate League and hit .182 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 44 games. So stop crying because the Texas Rangers didn't answer your Tweet and go play football.

Where are you sitting? I'll bring you a baseball if they have any special markings on them. The playoff balls had nothing on them.

[x] drunk and disappointed after game oneBut still optimistic about the series, we lost game 1 to the Yanks and came back and won the series

Rooting for the Rangers so they get a WS victory out of their system. At least they didn't give up. Plus SF doesn't have a good record after winning game 1 of the WS.

Yeah, but you know that a stat like that is just a factoid, it doesn't relate at all to the current series. That stat is ok (it doesn't really annoy me), but the over-indulgence in stupid statistics, especially during the playoffs, does annoy me. They were all, "OMG Freddy Sanchez, first player ever to start his WS career with 3 straight doubles!" Well yeah, I probably could have guessed that. It's incredibly obscure, and interests me 100 times less than the actual fact that Freddy Sanchez had an amazing game and hit 3 doubles. '3 consecutive doubles' isn't a thing, like hitting for the cycle is a thing, you know? It's not like it's a record that anybody is ever going to care about, or look forward to breaking. It's just obscure and not very meaningful. Announcers: please stop finding all of these meaningless 'records' and spend more time being interesting. Or, if you're Joe Buck, just spend less time talking because you're never interesting. McCarver is bad too, but he's sometimes ok, and at least he has some good stories.

This is a pet peeve of mine as well. It's cool if you want to share these little tidbits with me, but please don't pretend that it's relevant at all to what's happening now. Also, what the hell, Cliff Lee? I thought you were good. Obviously can't handle the pressure of the World Series stage.
