I am always impressed with some of the things that come up during our games on the game day posts. Just like Mr. Greenberg, I have enjoyed the "Rally Mantis" postings.
So, tonight, if the situation is right, watch for the Rally Manits peering over the shoulder of a generic Minnesota Twin player guy. Feel free to send me your pictures of a Rally Mantis. Right now, my minions are searching for a "live" Rally Mantis that may appear in future games. So tonight the Rally Mantis joins the mix of antlers and claws.
Thanks
Chuck Morgan, the other Chuck

Dear the other Chuck,
I have just given you a mental Mantis hug. It may sting just a bit, but it’s the thought that counts.
You are the wind beneath my wings, Mr Morgan.
Heck - he's not the "other" Chuck. He's the original.
Mr. Greenberg’s just going to have to go by Mr. Greenberg. You don’t call your dad by his first name and he’s the one that adopted us.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.

Class Pet
I had a praying mantis for a class pet for a little while. The first time we fed it a live cricket was one of the most awesome things I have seen. The mantis waited for the cricket to move within striking distance and in a flash impaled it with a claw and pulled it in. Then all in one move it pinned its legs back and chewed its head off. Then ate everything, but the legs and decapitated head.
If you could portray that being done to the rally monkey it would be the greatest thing we have ever seen.

you may have answered this but I don’t remember it, why can’t we get the O’Day chant on the screen in the ballpark? thats all thank you for your greatness
I really wish it would catch fire and become widespread through the stands
There was a pretty good chant going the other night, I could hear it on tv, and it sounded amazing. If everyone was doing it? Holy cow, talk about an amazing phenomenon. That would sound incredible on tv.

Did he ask why?
Did he know anything about the legend of The Mantis?

he didn't ask
makes me wonder what other random things I could have asked him to pose with.
“Cliff, could you hold this can of peanut butter while I take your picture?”
“Now, could you take a picture with my son’s piggy bank?”

question for Chuck since this is his thread
(although if anyone else can answer, please do):
At the Ballpark, there is a long list of Ranger alumni that scrolls around the infield display board. I was 95% sure that this list was former players who were All-Stars when they were Rangers, and then I saw Mickey Rivers and George Wright. Rivers was an All-Star at one point (albeit not with Texas). Wright was never an All-Star though.
Is there any rhyme or reason for the list? I say I was 95% sure that it was a Rangers All-Star list because it had names that most Ranger fans wouldn’t think of immediately (i.e. Bert Campaneris and Milton Bradley).

Players of the Year
You are correct…but I included Mickey Rivers and George Wright, because they were Rangers Players of the Year….I don’t remember, but I will check, i also think I have Jose Canseco on that list…Jose was the Player of the Year in 1994……
So it is a list of Rangers All-Stars and Rangers Players of the Year. You are right on Campaneris and Bradley, folks don’t think of them as All-Stars…down the road Gary Matthews, Jr. will fall into that category.
Thanks for going to the games.
