This sucks.

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

The offense is god-awful this year. What the fuck happened? For most of this year it’s been that the pitching/defense has been WAY better than the offense, and it boggles the mind.

Tonight it’s like last year’s pitching/defense with this year’s offense. I want to choke someone. Violently.

But unless something changes, like in this inning, then this game is over, and thus the season since the Rangers REALLY REALLY REALLY needed to win tonight to take advantage of the second chance they were unexpectedly given.
