The Big Auction

Cuban vs. Nolan. 

For the sake of the Rangers I hope that whatever the outcome of the auction today is best for the team.  Let's face it, they haven't exactly been blessed with stellar ownership over their history.  Tom Hicks is just the latest, a man who got caught up in the early 2000s blitz of predicting money would be there at the end of the investment rainbow, when there's never a guarantee. A man who still owes Mickey Tettleton 1.4 million bucks.  So I hope and pray that whoever wins the team will do what's best and produce a winner on a regular basis.  I am optimistic either way.  Mark Cuban is a passionate sports fan who will do what he can to make the team interesting and marketable, and in contention.  Nolan Ryan has already proved to be an asset to the team.  I really wish there was a way to combine these 2 groups.  We'll see.  Just another tumultuous chapter in the history of the Rangers.

That is all.
