Update on The Great Game

The local Texas Rangers are 8-8 so far this season, far surpassing anyone's expectations. They have pitched better than they're supposed to. They do things that they didn't do when they were loaded with stars like A-rod, such as hit and run, steal bases, bunt...while still hitting home runs.

Despite my best efforts to avoid it this season because I'm supposed to be mad at it for a multitude of sins, I'm sucked in by Major League Baseball. I think I'll call it the "Terrance Mann Syndrome" after James Earl Jones' soliloquy in Field of Dreams that began "It's BASEBALL, Ray. It's bigger than all of us..."
