All congratulations

To the San Francisco Giants.  The torture is finally over.

The Rangers have a lot to be proud of:  They won their first ever playoff series.  They won the American League Pennant, beating the Yankees to earn it.  And they were the first Texas team to win a game in the World Series.  Houston was swept in its' only appearance.  Plus the Rangers are going to be receiving a bushelful of awards, to wit:  MVP (Hamilton), Gold Glove (Hamilton), Silver Slugger (Hamilton, Cruz possibly), Rookie of the Year (Neftali Feliz), Comeback Player of the Year (Vlad Guerrero), Manager of the Year (Ron Washington).  Plus they got that that butt-ugly AL Champion trophy (which, as the Rangers have been so awful for so long and had ne'er been anywhere near winning a pennant, I honestly did not even know that you got a fucking trophy if you won a pennant!) and Josh won the ALCS MVP.  


The Rangers are under new ownership and have just made beaucoup of bucks w/ their playoff run & I think they have a shot at retaining Cliff Lee.  Plus, just in general, Greenberg & Ryan are ready to increase payroll anyhoo.  


I really thought I'd never live to see the Rangers in the World Series.  Who knows? The future for Ranger fans certainly looks bright.  They might make it again in the near future.  Here's hoping we win the whole fucking thing next time.


Love you all,
