Richland Hills… I’m not hearing from you! Baseball- how ’bout it?
A nicely dated rant (but only by a few weeks) about an ad campaign that pissed me off. This is why people have sports blogs, right?

I have my doubts that we’ll pull this off - but I’ll start. How boner-riffic has Tommy Hunter been? From today’s Newberg Report:
Since Hunter joined the Rangers rotation for good on June 28, he leads the American League with a 1.97 ERA (over eight starts).
Repeat: Since June 28, Tommy Hunter leads the AL in ERA.
Back to my commentary - 8 starts is not a career, but it’s a bit more than a hot streak too. As any retarded redneck reading a box score will tell you — we need sum pitchin’! Well, look at this:
The Rangers lead the American League with eight shutouts. Are second in the league in team ERA (4.15). Have issued the third-fewest walks (360).
It may not end in playoffs, but try to appreciate what has happened here.

Good hustle, good hustle. This sort of spirit is going to make this crappy alternative to an actual threaded forum work, somehow!
