I thought it was pronounced Jack, not Gac.

That's what Inkara1 told us

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…
