Ranger a Dead Ringer...but For Whom?

Poor guy, this Feldman on the Tejas Ranjers. Could have notched the save in a World Serious clincher but instead pitched for the losing team in a Game 7, registering an ERA of 9.00 en route. Should have become the accountant or dermatologist that his last name suggested. Pity. Such a schande.

Wow. That’s a little harsh. It’s just that he strongly resembles a longtime blowhard in the handicapping world, someone whose random acts of unwarranted self-promotion would make the Karmenian Klan run for their Twitter feeds.

Now, we heartily salute the descendants of Augustus Busch and his Saint Louie Cardinalsz, your 2011 World Serious champeens — no Feldmansz or Kinslersz allowed! As well, it is never difficult to see Geo. W. Bush Jr. take it in the shorts again. As well, it is never difficult to see James Richard Perry govern that rebel state of his and preside over yet another one of its failed baseball campaigns. Tejas is just so easy to take aim at. They shot a president there, so it’s no surprise they’d readily target a street-level government official like Ben Shalom Bernanke, too.
