Spring training is upon us, and everybody is tied for first place. Unfortunately, Chan Ho Park is still putting on a Texas uniform. I've gone through the (depressing but believeable) Baseball Prospectus 2005 book analysis of the Rangers and am resigned to another season of watching other teams pass us. Have I mentioned before that, in addition to be a pompous what's-in-it-for-me rich guy Bush supporter, Tom Hicks (the Rangers owner) is also a hypocritical asshole? Sorry, I guess that's redundant.
I'll still follow the team and link a few good Ranger blogs over in the sidebar. Being the stathead that I am, I will have to extend my general disgust with the media over into the sports page. As usual, they are obsessed with all of the wrong things (batting average, "chemistry", home runs, rbi's) instead of things that win ball games (like on-base percentage, slugging, defense and pitching). Just go read this great blog about the latest silly atrocity.
