Okay, well rub a lot up nerd on it in fight. Yeah,
I mean you're winners or your crack whatever tough loss we get the next time.
In thirty minutes, one member of the station was in People magazine.
How about that? Into that at six thirty, Rangers Astros Game three review,
look ahead the game four at seven. At seven thirty, the thing
the NFL is most concerned about that has nothing to do with sports, but
they are terrified they think it could lead to death. Has nothing to do
with sport. Us eight o'clock picks with Glenn's who will be our mystery celebrity
guest stick around to find out. The texts were flying yesterday, including a
decline from John Daily live from the doctor's office. He responded confusingly with I
can't grip a club right now. Like I did not ask him to play
golf. I asked him to pick two football games. I'm more on that.
At eight Dingers Morning News eight thirty, he said he's quote loaded for
Bear and at nine o'clock we actually are going to have We're still working on
it, but it looks like we're going to have Scott's staff of Creed call
in At nine oh five. As Creed was at the game last night.
Incredible show. Today is all right? Kevin, Good morning, guys,
Good morning, Kevin, morning, Danny, come morning, JJ, Good
morning, Angels, Good morning fans, Good morning, Rangers fans. It
is a good morning. It is a good morning. You're leading the American
League Championship Series. Who would have thought after three games it's a good position
to be in, is it not. It's better than the alternate, but
it's also not as good as the other alternate you have. You have to
play five hundred baseball. Did advance to the world. We know it's going
to happen. Yeah, bright Zide or Rangers fans, we feel nothing.
No, you know what. You can't hurt us. There's nothing that could
happen that would overwhelm us. We've had our heart ripped out and then munched
on while we were forced to look at it. There's literally nothing you can
do to make us feel anything. Life is just an open fire. Do
you think you have it worse than most every other team? Rangers? Yeah?
Absolutely, The Rangers absolutely do because they never won. Yes, they're
different, and it's the biggest it's the biggest edging without completion they've ever had
to in twenty eleven. Bro it's like us, and it's like the Mariners,
and there's a couple other teams who have never won one. No career,
no franchise history has been more of an effing joke than the Rangers.
The amount of punchlines and goof arounds and just chaotic crap. It's Rangers.
I always called thought the Rangers kind of a nerd franchise. That's not nerd
nice. What do you mean before I lived here? Yeah, it's I'm
pretty curious, very significant what we thought. Yeah, your perception was from
far away, well, yeah, that they're into I mean, you know
they were, you guys, would where's we agree through two thousands, early
two thousand or you know, four or five whenever I got here, hadn't
exactly done a whole lot to make the nation should take notice of The Texas
Rangers made the playoffs three out of four years in mid nineties late nineties.
Yeah, and won one game. Yeah, out of those three appearances.
Yeah, that's not enough to move the needle for anyone else. And it
was the first game. It was Game one, the John Burkett Game.
In ninety's they won that one and he looked really good, and we're thinking,
oh my god, this is amazing. It was like the most kick
ass baseball achievement in the world was winning game one in nineteen ninety five.
I made it was ninety six, but I think it was ninety six.
It was ninety six, and then eight ninety nine that they made the playoffs,
and boy, that sweet victory of one game, Mike. They were
just must have been a day around here home. We were in first place
in nineteen ninety four and the MLB was like, now we're going to strike
like a hundred games in the season. Yeah, we're good. I was
a big game Expos fan then, and they were in first play as well.
It's the first time ever, So I do feel you on that,
But that always bugged me, even you being here. Like, if you
take the greatest players in Rangers history, and we're talking who Pudge one,
bel Tray Nolan, a guy who was here for like two years, gets
credit for being one of the right guys. And those three guys that I
named, at least the best moments of their career happened elsewhere, you know.
I mean, even Pudg his best moment was for the Marlins that catch
the ball and hold it up in the air, and it was epic,
and Nolan pitched way better elsewhere than he did here. I guess Beltray's best
time was here. I mean, didn't he did he win the MVP somewhere
else for La or for the Mariner, I don't know. He definitely was
good here, and he's probably the flimsiest of those, but I don't know.
There's no there's nothing to defend, and I'm not speedbag in your balls
here. There was a book written about the first two seasons of the Rangers
in Texas called Seasons in Hell. What could get lower than that? Right?
And I didn't know until I was talking to Ryan Ryner about it.
The old Ted Williams, Oh my god, who just hated it here,
didn't want to come, but he got paid a lot and time and he
just came over here and farted around for it. Was it one year or
two whatever? He did a year and a half maybe, I don't know.
They quit that during that second year. You had a Billy Martin run
here, Jesus, just trying so bad to be relevant in some way or
another. And then you the a rod thing where it's like, screwt,
We're just gonna buy it. But they bought one guy, right, and
then they put pared him up with a bunch of old Andre Scalaraga, old
Colorado. At that point, those guys couldn't play anymore. They gave him
a quarter of a billion dollars almost twenty five years ago. Yeah, before
that was an oor they amount to be throwing around. I remember being shocked
at that number. Wherever the hell I was, you know, he was
probably the most shot him. Boy, it created buzz man except yeah,
think where do I sign? Yeah? And then he gets here and he's
like, damn, there's not that many sex clubs. I think we're low
on sex club We have hot we have hot people. I'm just saying,
if you were looking for sex clubs, like I like to imagine my head
that Alex Rodriguez was then at that bet he was disappointed. Or do you
think Dallas ranks on the national hot scale? I bet they're not a top
five market. They're not a top five market. No, what is oh
Claire Wisconsin? Dude? Yeah, the home of bean snappers. Go ahead
and sell you. Maurice Jones drew, former Jaguars running back him one time
and he was talking about his favorite places to go, and he goes,
I love going to play in the NFC North. He goes, they got
those big women. Really, all right? You love playing Green Bay and
Minnesota. I think we are a top five market. We are what cities
have hotter people? La You have to think of the cities that have the
most people. New York. Yeah, yeah, per capita is a way
to do it, though. I don't know if Miami beats us. There's
a bunch of mommies there. There's a lot of mommies here, but there's
a lot of Puerto Rican mommies in Miami and New York Hispanics and don't act
think there's a difference. Well, wait, there is. There is there,
very much is. I think we're a very very large state and the
hot people it's like Danny congregated to the big city, the nearest option,
big city. I think you can find as enough hot people as you want
if you use your imagination. Nothing there depends what your standard is for hot.
There is a certain there's a certain science to this too, because wealth
will generate that. And what happens is you get rich older dudes that,
you know, if they were just regular Joe's would not do as well as
they're doing in the wife department. And then they have kids, and their
kids are hanging out with the friends of the other kids, and it ends
up being this kind of watered down thing to where you just live in these
rich communities and everyone's attractive, yes, exactly, and hot people congregate two
places to big places. That's why La probably is number one, because the
hottest girl or whoever in every town thinks they're going to go make it big
and head out West. Handsome men too, yeah exactly, and they're just
not. They're not gonna make it big. Most people don't in any field.
I don't know. We're kind of working with one. Danny, you're
a ding Dong anyway, hosing ding Dong Rangers. There's six teams who have
never won a World Series? Are the Rangers Rangers more illustrious than either of
these five teams remaining? Was it Seattle, Texas? Tampa? Okay,
let's start with Tampa Bay, who's one for a good portion of their career
but also is an S show when they're not good. I kind of think,
while outstandingly boring because of their stadium. They're not a joke, respect
it. So they kind of got us there, even though we dunk on
them every time we play them in the playoffs. Padres, Okay, the
the yes Padres. Yes, I think the Padres are cool. Man,
I don't think. I don't either, No, not at all. And
San Diego rules, and they have been a joke lately, just with the
way they've spent money on awesome players, Fernando Tatis Junior, Manny Machado,
all the pictures, and they missed the playoffs every year somehow. But kind
of cool, cool stadium that helps to your stadium's cool. Pet Hill Park's
badass. I bet I've never been to San Diego. I want to go.
It's awesome. It's wrong, how awesome it is and and everything that's
around it is just freaking incredible. Gas lamp district correct, Yeah, Tijuana,
just to see you know which gas lamp is? What's that? What
do you want to see in Tijuana? I just felt I want to,
like relive a couple of scenes from the OC. Marissa was found in the
alley. She'd drink too much, she was on alcohol. She was on
alcohol a lot during that show. She definitely wasn't eating. She could have
used a steak. All right, Rockies, Colorado Rockies Anupama kind of saved
them from disgrace. That is true. She is their best player. She
is their best player. Chice history. I meant, just like us have
been into a couple World Series but still relatively new enough, they haven't.
They don't have the fifty year track record that we have of just whizzing into
the wind Seattle and getting getting a little dribble on her jeans dribble or this
is why Seattle's cooler than us. They had one of the most iconic MLB
players of all time in King Griffith Jr. And another one at e.
Tiro Well in each Troe too. You know what. But but in term
you know, where did Randy Johnson come from? Yeah? Yeah, Randy,
And you could thrown there again, but he would fall into the category
of his best moments happened in another uniform. Yeah, that's true, unless
he loses points for killing that poor bird. I just watched that like a
week ago. For some reason, it just feels like once a year.
It's just that the Rangers history, first of all, with Tampa and Colorado
you're talking about two relatively new teams. They're expansion teams Seattle, you know,
the different incarnations they moved around, I guess before they ended up being
the Mariners. If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure somewhere. Yeah, but
yeah, San Diego is just it's hard to look at their history and just
think, oh, they just haven't they have gotten the brakes, they haven't
won a World Series. But with Texas, when you think about how they
started, I mean, that was a really long time old school baseball franchise.
It just said we're moving to Arlington to a minor league stadium and adding
some seats and just make it work. Yeah, we'll figure it out.
And just all of the ding dong occurrences that have happened through the years to
this team. And I think the thing that stings the most is the fact
that they came so close in twenty eleven. Yeah, and they were down
to one strike from winning the World Series two times in the same game.
It just what you cannot write a more wild ass narrative than that when it
comes to a franchise. You guys, how many times does that happened other
teams that were one strike away? From the World Series and lost it.
I don't know if it's ever happened. I don't know it was much less
two times in the same game. That's like having your being down by two
points in a football game with the or or being tied. Let's say,
in a football game with zero time on the clock, one second left in
your kicker misses a field goal from twenty five yards. It's us, it's
just and then it goes to overtime and you know you're you get your back
and forth chance, and then the other team is up or whatever. It's
still tied, you have a chance to win, and it happens again to
you. A pretty easy field goal. You would think that getting one strike,
one effing strike, would be about as easy as kicking a twenty five
thirty yard field goal. And we couldn't get that done two times given that
chance. I mean, they're running back. The Rangers history of chaotic events
goes on and on and on and on and on and on. I mean
a home run bounced off Jose Conseco's head for crying out loud. Bobby Witt
had a no hitter through five innings, but had to be taken out of
the game because he'd walked eight guys. I mean, dude. Two thousand
and four, Frank Francisco threw a chair into the crowd in Oakland. Yeah,
it almost killed the Mordy killed a woman metal folding chair just through it.
She broke its bleeding. Kenny Rogers assaulted a cameraman. I agree,
but these are all because you live here. We cover the team. That's
why these are such vivid memories. It stacks up. Dude, you put
any any team plays that many games, that many knuckleheads on it, that
every MLB team has long history of insanity. But I'm not ready to argue
that the Rangers aren't the most hard luck MLB franchise. I just haven't thought
about it. Well, you know, some things were cured. The Bartman
and Buckner, the Cubs had one hundred years that win a World Series.
If only did it. Those things jump out at you. Our our thing
never stops. It's it's consistent and constant, and it never ever stops.
I'm telling you, man, there was I mean, dude, I mean,
you could add the cocaine thing. I did a full segment back in
March before we did the switch here, and maybe I'll go listen to it
tonight and find some of the funnier things from the fifty years of Rangers franchise
history, because guys, there the things that you you'll just forget about because
there's so many of them. It's ridiculous. I mean, dude, I
feel like we've all done this segment one way or another through the years.
You know, in nineteen seventy five, they had a helicopter that was gonna
fly over and the season opener and it crashed in the outfield. I didn't
know that what crashed in the outfield? Helicopter? Hella, did you make
that up? No? And in fact it was there. It was supposed
to be there to dry the Arlington Stadium turf, so that it crashed into
the outfield a second so they had rain and they thought the best option was
to hover a helicopter terrible and it crashed. Are you just into the outfield?
Do people live or die? I have to get I don't think anyone
died, Okay, crashed, I mean I don't remember, because it's the
dude. Our team was like the worst team in zousand and seven, and
that was here. We made a bunch of good trades to get the dining,
the dynasty, the glory years, built up to share a trade and
some of those things. One of the worst teams in baseball we won.
We've beat Baltimore like thirty to three, and no one's ever going to like
celebrate that game too much because that was the worst team in Rangers history.
Was that Their best picture was Cameron Lowe and his footnote is that he owned
a huge snake. Like that's it. And I'm not talking about as we
wei, he owned a snake now it lives in Oklahoma underneath the trailer house
feasts on gam gam. I mean, we were so so bad. Aren't
the like Cleveland Indians. Weren't they the poster boy of joke franchise for like
seventy years? I think that's major league. I've been all fun here,
right, Well, what are the real Cleveland Indian Guardian stories? Well,
I don't know, That's what I'm saying. I don't live in Cleveland,
and if I did, I imagine there's a plenty. The hell they had
Albert Bell, Yeah, I don't know, That's what I mean. We
just know every insane and sad story about the franchise for the last thirty years
here. In their first season, they led the league in errors with one
hundred and sixty six. Oh god, that is so much. Well they
have this year like fifty seven, one hundred and sixty six more than games
played. Dude, we signed John Rocker after the comments he saw a gay
guy out of bus. Jeez, well, and now look at us leading
Corey Klueber. First first inning doesn't even show Pain walks to the dugout and
all of a sudden he's just not pitching in the second inning and they're trying
to figure it out out for the year, never to pitch again, never
to suit up again. Jared Saltolemachia lost the ability to throw the ball back
to the pitcher, and they barely fit his name on his jersey. What
are he porking? A teacher? No, I think he had a much
older Maybe it was a teacher had a much older wife. Yeah, yeah,
that he married his own teacher or I think that is Yeah, it's
something like that, or she taught him and then later on they got together.
I don't know if it was like a scandalous. I think, yeah,
the Brewers are the other team that didn't have never won a World Series.
But they had. You know, they have Bernie the Brewer who slides
down the thing. It's pretty cool. They have more than that, Bernie
the Brewer that slides into beer. They have a fun logo with the puffy
mit. That going to be great logo. One of the best. Yeah,
one of the best logos you'll ever see. Well, well, come
fast, I'm not sad about last night. Things come fast, and you
got to have a real short, short memory because it's in a what twelve
hours from now, we'll be gearing up for game four, and look,
anything can happen. You guys would have give away a couple of tickets to
Bullet for My Valentine. Who's pitching a night but yes, heen dog and
