Giants Win

The San Francisco Giants won their fourth game last night to win the World Series over the Texas Rangers.  There is no joy in Dallas.  Well, may be a little bit considering hot Giant Brian Wilson.

Headline of the Day

"Pitched into a hole"

--Headline in today's edition of The Dallas Morning News.  The article is about the Rangers' third World Series loss. 

Monday's Man: Cliff Lee

Continuing my series of cute Texas Rangers, I present pitcher Cliff Lee.  So far I've featured nothing but pitchers.  Don't read anything into that. 

Here he is in civvies meeting the fans.  What a guy.  Plus, he can totally work a tee shirt.

I realize that this picture dates from his days with another team that will go unnamed, but he looks so cute that I had to include it.  

Smile Cliff, you're in the World Series!  It ain't over yet.



Rangers Advance to World Series

OMFG, people, the Texas Rangers just beat the Yankees in some bizarre algorithm of playoff wins and losses to clinch a spot at the World Series.  Don't ask me how it all works, all I know is the World Series will be played right here in Dallas.  OK, Arlington, but close enough. 

The Rangers have never even been to the playoffs!  The Yankees pay their worst player more than the entire defense budget of France, yet the poor, provincial Rangers beat them. 

Just in case you're thinking I've become some sort of sports nut, I didn't watch the game tonight.  Instead, I went to a production of the Pet Shop Boys musical, Closer to Heaven.  Somehow, I found shirtless guys dancing to Pet Shop Boys music more interesting than a baseball game.
