Ranger game observations...

My friends and I have been to about 9 Rangers games this season (yes, it is only the end of May-quit checking your calendars).  During the attendance at said Rangers games, my friends and I have stumbled upon some bits of information.  Now understand that when I say "stumbled upon" that simply means that our own minds have created these things...they may not (and probably aren't) based on any hard facts, just our reasoning skills at work.  These bits of information include:

• Mike Napoli may stink in real life.  This is based on the fact that at a game vs. the Phillies, he went up to bat in the top of the 2nd inning and his curly locks were WET!!!  They weren't just damp, but wet people.  They looked as if either A) he just got out of the shower--which isn't the truth as he was playing a baseball game or B) he has been playing an entire game in Miami or Texas in July or August.  Again, neither A or B were true as they were in Philadelphia in May and it was the beginning of the game.  Based on this information we I have decided that Mike Napoli may in fact emit an unpleasant odor in real life.  To any one that may be reading this an know Mike Napoli please let me know if this is a true statement or not.   Also, his song when he comes up to bat is "Blame it on the Alcohol"--this is not helping his case in my mind!
• Mitch Moreland is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!  There are facts needed to back this statement up, just looking at him will tell you this.  Also, while on the topic of my boyfriend Rangers outfielder/infielder Mitch Moreland, let me say...Mitch, keep the scruffy look, it does you well my friend, it does you well!!!
• Apparently in Minnesota, when someone goes on the 15-day DL, 15 days is a suggestion.  My other boyfriend Twins catcher, Joe Mauer, has been on the 15-day DL since mid April.  Unless the Minnesotian (is that even a word??) calendar is different than mine, that my friends is longer than 15 days.  Just saying!  Also, since we are on the topic of Minnesota, I did find out that if I have my teacher certification through a university, I can take the certification tests in Minnesota and become a teacher there...just in case I needed to move there.  
• My friends and I have a favorite game to play at the ballpark that is totally unrelated to the actual baseball game itself.  Our favorite ballpark game is "How many beers has that guy had!?!?!"  I think the name of the game is kind of self explanatory so I won't go into details, but know that if you join us for a game you may be asked the question..."how many beers has that guy had!"
• For the record...this is not made up or based on other facts...this is a true statement!!!  I CAN'T STAND RANGER CAPTAIN OR THE "TEXAS HEROS" MASCOTS!  I could have put I hate that stupid horse (which is usually what I call Captain) and I can't stand Sam Houston, Davy Crockett or Jim Bowie.  But somehow I feel the last part of that statement may have cause folks to hunt me down, take away anything Texas I may own and sent me to another state.  So for the record I can't stand the mascots, the men themselves, while they each more than likely had their own flaws I am sure they also had some delightful traits. 

I am certain there are many more insights that have been gained by our attendance at the Rangers games this season, but as it is 9:20 a.m. on a Saturday and I have been up for a while, my brain is done.                         

WARNING!!!!

**** if you have not already watched the american idol results show from yesterday...stop reading now.


Couple things about American Idol last night...

1. I really don't know what the producers and all those other folks were trying to do with the three people on this side and three people on that side...ok now switch. That was just stupid. I must admit however that if David Cook had been in the bottom three I would have had to give some serious consideration to boycotting the rest of the season. However if Christy Lee Cook would have stayed in a week longer I would have also had to give some serious thought to boycotting...she was terrible and the only reason she stayed in as long as she did was because she was good looking. I have proof of this...a guy friend of mine said that he is only rooting for Christy and Brooke because they are good looking. However, I must admit that David Cook is my pick for winner of season 7, and that does not entirely lie on the fact that he does have talent.

2. Also, I am kinda over the whole call in and ask questions thing...only because people never ask the contestants questions. They always ask the judges questions, and I personally don't care about the judges. Paula---seriously, the flower--it has to go!!! The only good thing about last night's questions was that we did find out that David Cook is single. :)

Now, on to the Rangers...

three words guys...GET IT TOGETHER!!!!! 6-9, we can do much better than that...and come on does it seriously take us 14 innings to win a baseball game. I don't know if you got the memo, but a standard baseball game is 9 innings...I was dreaming by the time the game was over last night. Good thing I get text messages telling me the updates on the games, otherwise I would have had to wait for my kids to tell me.
