Rangers Fans: Don't Hate Mistaken Meteorologists or Bumbling Baseball Executies. Hate This Man...

As Baseball Time in Arlington points out, a little more Ranger vitriol should probably be aimed at Fox for potentially refusing to move the abortion of the X Factor instead of the ALCS. You would think that if MLB granted a network rights to broadcast a game, somewhere in that contract it would say that said network can't shove a baseball bat up the collective fans' asses by showing multiple League Championship games during the day. I can't imagine the NFC Championship beingplayed during your Wednesday afternoon marketing brainstorming meeting, or if the Mavs-OKC Game 2 4th Quarter was starting up during your 5:00pm drive. We can all be upset about the Game 2 move, but weather happens and that clearly wasn't planned ahead of time. I also refuse to believe that MLB would refuse to place two games on at even nearly the same time. Other sports don't seem to have a problem with it, as certainly more people will watch either primetime game than one during normal work hours.The fact that Games 4 and 5 of a League Championship were planned well in advance to be at 3:15 is slap in the face to fans, an embarrassment to the league, another step back in the uphill battle of MLB marketability and popularity, and something that will hopefully somehow backfire in Selig and Fox's face.

Sporting News Tells the Rest of the Country What We Already Know, Names Dallas 2011 Best Sports City

SPORTING NEWS - You’re driving south on I-35 from Oklahoma (maybe for Texas-OU football) and come to Sporting News’ 2011 Best Sports City. It’s a sports-mad place that has world champions and World Series participants, BCS bowl winners and if not the NFL’s most popular team, then certainly its grandest venue. Where are you?

Not just Dallas, though that’s on I-35E and where the Mavericks’ NBA championship parade drew 200,000. Not just Fort Worth, though that’s on I-35W and where 13-0 TCU celebrated its pulsing Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. (Right about now is when Arlington—Texas’ seventh-largest city—pipes in: Hold on, Hoss, we’re on I-30, and the AL champion Rangers and America’s Team Cowboys call us home.)

You get the picture. The whole of the athletic area exceeds the sum of its sports parts, and in these parts it’s all about winning. The Cowboys’ collapse and Stars’ ownership struggles were merely the quarter-teaspoon of lemon that heightened the sweetness of championships won.

Don’t sleep on MLS Cup runner-up FC Dallas and MVP David Ferreira, Texas Motor Speedway and postseason bowl games, high school football and palatial Cowboys Stadium, which has also played host to an NBA All-Star game. SMU football is back (legally) and though college hoops takes a back seat, you could fill out a dang good five with talent from the area. And did we mention Texas-OU football?

Move your ass, Boston. Couldn't have written a better story myself. Will definitely be an easier argument once the Rangers hoist the World Series Trophy in a few weeks, but throw in the trophy chicks struttin' around town, and Dallas wins in a landslide.

Wash, Beltre Wave Bye-Bye to Tampa, Again

Hey Harrison, can't it wait until you're back home, pants-down in front of your computer?

Well hello, Mrs. Adams... how about you the ditch the kid and the home run chump and get with a media mogul 

Women's History Museum at Fair Park to Close Before Hosting WWCD-Sponsored Seminar on Gender Sensitivity

DALLAS - After 11 years in operation, 1.5 million visitors and a loss of more than $4 million since 2007, the Women’s Museum: An Institute for the Future at Fair Park will close its historic art deco facility Oct. 31.

So Dallas has had a Women's History Museum for 11 years and it only lost $4 million? Our struggling country needs the brave man who was running this taco stand to be Commerce Secretary and we needed him yesterday. If you can convince innocent, hard-working Dallasites to spend their precious disposable income strolling through tricked-up, over-priced stories of PMS'ing through business meetings and not overcooking the pot roast, all while keeping your losses under $1 million/year, then you've done one helluva job, sir. Not something just any ol' broad could take on. I mean, once you get past the first room with Condi, Hillary, Billie Jean King, and Jenna Jameson, what the hell else you do have? Hopefully a nice juice bar, gift shop, and some hands-on ironing and cooking sets for the kid girls to play with to learn a little something from the greats.

By the Way: That museum saw 1.5 million visitors like Marlins' day games have 20,000 fans. It's all about butts in the seats, not tickets given away, guys.

Waxahachie Plays with Fire Trying to Keep Up with the Big Boys, Gets Burned

WAXAHACHIE - A fire chief said the Waxahachie chemical fire led to a civil emergency for Ellis County and the evacuation of about 1,000 people. The massive fire at the Magnablend chemical plant resulted in the Civil Authority announcing the emergency message. The Waxahachie fire chief said the fire started when chemicals were being mixed at the plant and had a bad reaction, creating an explosion. Containers holding unknown liquids could be seen exploding and melting.

Really gotta feel for the "little Metroplex towns that could" during October. While all the big dogs are straight puttin' on a show, the runts are forced to eat their own shit just to get a little attention. Dallas is getting people talking with the Fair, Komen Race for the Cure, Taylor Swift, and Boo at the Zoo, Arlington's killing it with Cowboys, Rangers post-season, and FrightFest, and even Fort Worth just brought the nation's greatest rivalry and smokefest to overtime. What's little ol' Waxahachie do to keep up? Just basically try to blow itself up with a Junior High chemistry class stunt. Only a couple of workers were hurt, no more than 1000 people had to evacuate, and a pretty gay chemical plant was destroyed, so I guess it was worth the cheap daytime cable news air time. Still though, maybe they could learn a little from the innovative minds in Azle and just elect a special needs kid Homecoming Queen. A lot less destruction, and every loves the feel-good stories. Just a poor move all around, Waxahachie. Maybe you can win some crappy month like March or something.

Not the Best Time, WFAA Tower

When I'm stuck in epic eastbound I-30 traffic after an epic failure, not the best time at all. Oh, and go fist yourself, CJ.

WWCD Crew Watching First Pitch With the Masses in the Cheap Seats

Just cause you can't see the ball doesn't mean you can't see the small-town Ranger sluts struttin' that ass in those cut-off jeans and sheepish, jail-bait grins.
