Things You Should Never Do!

After attending at least 30 Ranger games this year, Blair and I were discussing yesterday that we should make a list of things you should never do at a Ranger game.

  • Never do the wave..........no matter how hot, how boring, or how ignorant you are
  • Never wear a glove if you're over 9 years old
  • If you fail and wear a glove, please never cower behind the glove while your girlfriend takes a foul ball off the side of the face
  • Never "deke" the guy behind you by pretending that you're going to catch the hotshot headed your way.........only to move at the last second
  • Never bring Eddie in a game that matters
  • Never say "how could anyone be worse than Chris Davis" ie see Hank Blalock
  • Never expect Wash to play the game by the "book"
  • Never wear a tank top if you weigh in over 300lbs
  • Never expect Wash to have an actual plan or role for his bullpen
  • Never think you're gonna see Blalock walk
  • Never look for Kinsler to hit to the opposite field..........unless of course he's just late
  • Never think that MY is not the best player on the field.........period! (Unless we play the Cardinals)
  • Never regret bringing Elvis up to plas SS and moving MY over
  • Never order cotton candy if you're over 9 (see glove admonition above)
  • Never lose a home series to Minnesota, San Diego, or Oakland (oops 0-3 there)
OK, I know there are plenty more, but those come to mind right now. Enjoy the pennant race...........and put that glove and tank top back in the closet
