Two asides: Gac’s last name is pronounced “Jack,” so he says; and the Blaze logo looks like a burning pot leaf.

Hey txranger7

You’ve got the labels on your Laynce Nix and Kevin Mench pictures flip-flopped.

That's not my website.

I noticed that, too.

I just like all the pictures going back to the 1972.

Spoiler

He’s quite high on the Rangers system and depth of talent.

Actually

That was very dissapointing. All they actually have is two clips of Joe, one of him praising our four 2008 all-stars, and one of him saying the appropriate way to build a team is to build from within. They didn’t even give him a chance to get stupid.

Then again, I suppose that is probably the entire depth of Joe’s knowledge of the Texas Rangers right there, so…

Morgan surprisngly isn't that dumb of a guy

He just is a stubborn tool who has stopped caring about keeping up with baseball the day after he retired.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Yep

Which makes the things that come out of his mouth even worse.
