PrintSo, SBNation now has an affiliation-type-thing with Yahoo. As a result, when you go to the Yahoo Rangers page, you should see links to LSB.
Thus, there may be folks reading LSB for the first time who have come here from Yahoo.
There's a great post here explaining what SBNation is and how we will assimilate you, that I encourage newbies to read and vets as well (so that you don't scare the newbies off).

“Is it just me, or does Rob Neyer have a problem with the Rangers? Michael Young proved this year that he is the best all-around shortstop in baseball not named Tejada, and STILL no love. I bet he’d take Paul Konerko over Mark Teixeira if given the choice. What a moron.” -ghtd36, Nov. 2, 2005

Want to add the User’s Guide to LSB to this post? Also, ghostofErikThompson forgot to add the Agreen07 Troll Theory. Ghost, can you do this?
The Agreen07 Troll Theory states that in order to successfully become an LSB troll, one must satisfy ALL of the following conditions.
1) Establish yourself as a legitimate commenter by posting a minimum of ten (10) insightful and/or interesting comments related to the Rangers.
2) Develop at least one shtick (examples include religion, firing the general manager, hatred of all things LSB, injection of politics into non-politics threads, one-word responses, etc.)
3) Maintain an 5/1 ratio of shtick to non-shtick comments.
4) Be a jerk to anyone who disagrees with you, and remain staunchly unshakable from your beliefs, regardless of logical responses presented to you.

Hey old guys/new guys
I am new to Lone Star Ball as far as being a poster(first post), but not as far as a long time reader. I know about the “all sheep all the time” jerk off guy and what not, .just never felt the need to join until now, for some reason…I want the Rangers to win more than just about anything, whether its by signing Andres Gallaraga, Ken Caminitti(blah)i.e. veterans, or by building from within with a 2011 rotation of beavan, feliz, holland, maine, diamond and hopefully kiker, not in that order or necessarily in the actual 5 man rotation…Basically I’m of the Malcolm X mentality regarding the Rangers making the playoffs…By any means necessary…glad to join the community, and god willing supporting a future playoff squad…

None of them will show up until after opening day. And, really, I have to think that ever Rangers fan who’s inclined to participate in a blog has found a home already. I hope.
