The Calm Before the Ryan Express

Written by Paul Barton on April 29th, 2008 | 0 Comments

In my continuing efforts to keep the world abreast of the status of the sinking ship that is the Texas Rangers. Listening to the radio today an article by Buster Olney of ESPN was read concerning the Rangers. It sounded a lot like the chorus of us that are ready for some change in the right direction. I have to agree. I am so desperate to see some improvement I would back even the most aggressive moves, even trading Michael Young. He is a good player that is getting paid well, if we can get some hope for the future I am all for it. Washington has to go and possibly John Daniels. To read an article from a nation baseball expert (I think the ESPN baseball guys are some of the best in the country) saying the team is out of control, whether it is because of him or not a change must be made. The pendulum has swung from micro-manager Buck to lackadaisical, player’s manager Ron Washington. Is there not a manager that could right this ship or do we need to mothball it and start over? Either way, Nolan Ryan has a huge task ahead of him. I don’t think he has walked away from many challenges and I don’t think he was on the losing end that often either. I am optimistic after going to the game this weekend, as always, it was fun. The kids had fun and so did I. A few bags over heads but not too many yet. To sum it up, the Rangers win on Sunday tied them for last in the MLB with Washington, any coincidence?
