Dec 8, 2011 - In attempt to catch up to the Texas Rangers, the Los Angeles

the Rangers' best pitcher. From the Rangers' perspective, that's like
reaching for a can of Raid and seeing that the cockroach is holding it.
If I owned the Rangers, I would have walked away from Game 6 of the 2011
World Series thinking malicious thoughts. And after Game 7, I would have
retreated to my luxurious suite, cracked open a bottle of 40-year-old Scotch,
and started plotting how I was going to sign Albert Pujols away. At first, I
would have done it just to put him on the bench just to piss off Cardinals
fans, but at some point I would have figured out that playing him was a
better idea.
