Schilling is just plain awful at humaning.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

Go arbitrary assortment of athletes! Beat the other arbitrary assortment of athletes or my mood will suffer!

Ugh...another 9pm start after a long work day.

Kiss my taint, West Division.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

8 double-digit strikeout games in the last nine... 9 strikeouts in that other one.

Team batting average - .215 (Chirinos and Andrus the only ones hitting above .243)

4 for 36 with runners in scoring position in their last 6 losses...

0 for 8 pinch hitting...

Hell - when they do score runs, the bullpen yaks them right back.

The Rangers are terrible right now and it shows no signs of correcting itself.
