Two years ago today, we were discussing Evan Grant's defense of Ron Washington, who was under fire from columnists who were demanding he be fired...

There are still those demanding he be fired

I’m not one of them, but there’s some very loyal Wash haters out there.

He's black and not "well-spoken".

That’s all many need.

It's an odd situation...

I like Washington the man, but I’m not super fond of Wash the manager.

I’d rather have a different manager, but we’re winning.. yet, I’m not crediting Wash, but word is the team plays hard for him. I don’t know how to feel about Ron.

Exactly how I feel, actually

I don’t know how much credit goes to Washington or the GM/President. I want to give him credit and I think you have to at least some, thus the 2010 contract extension. I pretty much agree with cmkelly29. I’m not sure how I feel about Wash.

Woops!

the best defense isn’t going to suddenly make
this pitching staff respectable.
If you don’t have fun it’s your own damn fault.

there's so much hype surrounding it now

"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)

Back in the days when hurlerhurley was still hurlerhurley

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

I remember when he used to give me crap

because I wanted a high school pitcher named Scott Kazmir instead of Drew Meyer, and he said there was no chance Kazmir would be successful. That and his JD Drew fetish.

G’night Nancy Drew.

The King of the Press Room Buffet is right again

and for what its worth, the Rangers could do better with someone who is personable and a good baseball mind who can manage a game… but those are certainly few and far between.

I would rather have Wash then a Buck Showalter type.

Percent of Conrats:

Wash: 40%
Danny: 50%
Nolan: 10%

This is our year.
