One more reason to hate the ChiSox

There are many reasons to hate the ChiSox. Their manager. Their ace pitcher, who claimed he got shelled at TBIA because the Rangers were stealing signs. Their jackass catcher. Their jackass 1B/OF they imported from the A's. The fact that they named their park after one of the most douchebaggy owners in baseball history, a guy whose parsimony was a significant factor in setting in motion the Black Sox scandal.
But here's another one...their owner, Jerry Reinsdorf.
Reinsdorf led the charge, in 1989, to keep Eddie Gaylord from buying the Rangers from Eddie Chiles. Gaylord owned KTVT at the time, and there was a belief that Gaylord would turn KTVT into a "superstation" and use that to fuel national interest in the Rangers (whose every game would then be televised nationally), like Ted Turner had done with WTBS and the Braves.
I realize this sounds like a bad joke to those of you who are under about 25, but it is the truth. Reinsdorf was terrified of the idea that a division rival would become a deep-pocket team because of KTVT. The irony of this didn't come fully apparent until a few years later, when WGN started televising ChiSox games.
As a result, Chiles ended up selling to a consortium backed by the money of Rusty Rose and Richard Rainwater. These two brought the ne'er-do-well son of the then-Prez, George W. Bush, on board to be their front man. They immediately went to work pushing for a new taxpayer-funded stadium, which resulted in TBIA being built. Just a few yeras after it was built and opened, this group flipped the team to Tom Hicks for a healthy profit. An $86 million investment in 1989 was sold in 1999 for $250 million, an average annual return of 11% (before factoring in profits or losses on the operations during that period).
And Bush, of course, ended up using his role with the Rangers as a springboard for running for governor of Texas, which he then used as a platform to run for President in 2000.
So...thanks to Jerry Reinsdorf leading the charge to sink Gaylord's bid to buy the Rangers, we have been stuck with 8 years of George W. in the White House, and 10 years of Tom Hicks owning the Rangers.

The Rangers
have ruined America, abetted by evil dictator Jerry Reinsdorf. The RBIA is responsible for global warming.
We are left to wonder what if with a President Gaylord.

No Joke
Reinsdufas and Einhole were the ringleaders that kept Gaylord from buying the sTRangers. But, their front man (read: puppet) owned the Milwaukee franchise. The Stonebrainers inherited Selig’s strings when he moved to NY as the Commissioner of Baseball.
Others to lead this despicable charge included Teddy Turncoat (Atlanta Graves) and the Stonebrainer YankMes.
And, what makes it all worse is MLB had signed an agreement with Eddies Chiles and Gaylord that, when Chiles got ready to sell the rest of the team (the original agreement gave Chiles and Gaylord equal 50/50 ownership with Chiles running the team), Gaylord could buy it and run the team. This was in the contract MLB approved several years earlier.
But, when it came time to transition Chiles out and Gaylord in, Baseball renigged. No way some podunk, frontier upstart is gonna have a legitimate chance to beat them. And, Selig was the front man.
Worse yet, when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks arrived, it was with the understanding that the DBs would play for 2 years as an NL team then settle in permanently as an AL team (moving Texas into the AL Central where more of our games would be broadcast during our prime time viewing/listining hours). However, MLB conveniently forgot that agreement leaving Texas fans for years as the only state that could NEVER (until the outcry became loud enough they couldn’t ignore it anymore) see our two teams play each other in InterLeague play and the sTRangers spending most of their time on the Left (out) Coast time zones playing their games well past the time when sane Texans shut it down for the night and go to bed.
Just this past season, Selig moved the Astros series against the Cubs into the Milwaukee ballpark. Yeah – he doesn’t own the Brewers anymore – but his friggin daughter does. And, she probably made a fortune on concessions, parking and the like. But, Selig would likely deny that.
People, MLB knows that, if the Texas market wakes, it’ll be just like the Cowboys. Their East Coast/Chicago BS franchises will be second fiddle to us and they are gonna make certain that doesn’t happen. Especially if all they have to do is ignore ethics (lie, swindle, cheat, etc.) – Stonebrainer-type thinking, ya know…

Oh yeah...
It was just a few years later Selig led the charge to sell the LA Dogbutts to Rupert Murdoch (owner of the Fox Television Netfrigginwork)…
Ya know? If they can keep us flailing away on the Left Coast, they can keep our interest down – who’s gonna stay up that late night after night just to watch a baseball game?

Actually, Ann was very popular as governor.
Her approval ratings were above 50% at the time of the election. She just had the bad luck of being governor at a time when the state was shifting solidly to red … and she ran for re-election in 1994, which was pretty much a landslide all across the board for Republicans.

Adam. Shame on you for bringing politics into your LSB.
1) Bush did a good job of getting the ballpark built. The old place was a dump. The stupid thing was to put it in Arlington. But, JerrryWorld will help that out.
2) You cannot say that he used his ownership as a springboard into the governership!
3) Let’s talk baseball, watcht the debate tonight and go to one of those chat boards for politics.
4) Say what you will about President Bush and whether or not he has done a good job, but you cannot deny these truths:
A) we have not been attacked since 9/11/2001 and that means he’s doing something right in protecting the American people. Which is his job #1.
B) Congress controls the purse strings, for those of you who have not studied our Constitution. The democratic led congress is as much to blame regarding our current financial situation. It could be said though that Bush was asleep at the wheel regarding their carelessness.
C) The world hated Reagan when he was in office, and it’s been proven that he was pretty muchly a badass! Often, Good Presidents are not popular in office and bad Presidents (Clinton) are popular……………………..

Undeniable "truths"
1) True, although he was just a figurehead and the heavy lifting was done by others.
2) Yes, you most certainly can. And if his last name was Jones, he’d be selling shoes right now.
3) Fine.
4) Yes, you can.
A. How many presidents have been on watch when we’ve had a terrorist attack on US soil? 2. Clinton and Bush. Primary difference being everbody involved in the 1st attack is in jail now. Yes, he gets credit for the peace since 9/11, but he also deserves blame for being so lackadaisically obtuse and incurious before the attacks. His admin’s myopic focus on Iraq and his failure to heed the NIEs played no small part in the terrorists’ success.
B. Congress was controlled by the Republicans from 1994-2006. This didn’t happen overnight. Plenty of blame to go around on both sides. Ridiculously specious.
C. I missed the memo where it was proven Reagan was a badass! and muchly was a word. I do hear it from the far right wing, but I never hear why, other than the fall of the USSR, which was the collective victory of every President since Truman. Reagan may have hit the winning shot in the basketball game, but he didn’t score all 90 points. And if you truly think the Bush presidency will be judged a big success by future generations, I’ll leave you to your chew toy.
And it’s his blog, he can do whatever the hell he wants.
