POLL... Who's your favorite Texas Rangers reporter?

 Just wondering what everbody thinks as to who is the best.

Is DMN Rangers beat writer Evan Grant the best?

Is Star-Telegram Rangers beat writer Jeff Wilson the best?

Is MLB.com Rangers beat writer TR Sullivan the best?

I figured we needed a vote and some input as to what the LSB community thinks as to who is the best when it comes to covering the Texas Rangers.

Don't forget to vote who is your favorite.

Yep

The Joe Dirt vid was a dead giveaway.

OT

Why did YouTube decide to switch to 16:9 now that they millions of videos uploaded in 4:3. By default videos should still show at 4:3 and new videos should have an option to be uploaded at 16:9…

Seems like common sense.

Not sure.

I wonder if high-definition has something to do with it.

All high-definition is shot 16 × 9.

EG owns them all

Jeff Wilson is good as well, but I don’t really read the ST that much. As for TR Sullivan… dinosaur is a good description.

I like all of them...

…but I definitely prefer Grant.

Honestly

None of those folks can hold a candle to what we have in the LSB – BBTIA – Newberg Report community. Not just the head honchos, but the posters who contribute so much. I dont want to start naming names so I’ll just say all the good contributors from A ( Adam ) to Z ( Zwyica ). Honestly, I learn 90+% of all I learn on the Rangers right here on the good old intertubes. Thank you Al Gore for your invention. Of course, I could live without some of the trolls who are such a nuiscance. I wish Al had done something about that when he was at the old inventing bench

you could always block the Trolls out.

I believe Ab03 or TBall has a program to do this.

My problem is not so much here on LSB

but there is a person that posts continually on Newberg who just makes the same basic post several times a day. On top of that he uses the Ticket as a source of authority for baseball. Other than Rhyner when he decides to not just mail it in there is less baseball knowledge on the Ticket than there is knowledge about English league soccer

People who don’t actually know where the Ballpark is can’t be considered Rangers reporters.

Grant...

…if for no other reason than he puts more effort and substance into his newsletters than the others.

I voted for the Ceej hater

As much as his crush on Molly Erdman confuses me, he’s by far the best.

Kat Ob

miss her, she could interview all the latin players in depth. all the other beat writers would get, “baseball is good” from the guy and she’d have a 10 paragraph interview with the dude. i miss her.

i cant wait for all these old school beat writers to fade to bolivia.

Grant

because you can tell he really really likes his job and the Rangers judging by how much effort he puts into his stuff, because he seems like an affable self-deprecating kind of guy, and because baldness is sexy and he looks adorable with his mustachio.

I knew the hot young ranger fan thing was too good to be true. We now know EG’s secret LSB screename.
