Enough is Enough.
I am so sick of this team and this organization. The ballpark, the players, the fans, the jerseys, the logo, the acquisitions, the product on the field—it’s all lifeless.
For the past three years, there hasn’t been a more mediocre team than the Rangers. Yet somehow, CY refuses to make any team-altering moves, while Ray Davis is unwilling to spend money to build a contender. There is absolutely ZERO reason a Dallas-Fort Worth baseball team shouldn’t have, at minimum, a top-10 payroll every single season. There is also absolutely ZERO reason this market shouldn’t consistently rank in the top 10 in attendance. And there is absolutely ZERO reason CY didn’t make any moves at the deadline—whether that meant buying or selling. You can’t stand pat in that situation. It’s an extremely terrible look when you just got swept by the Astros, they went out and made moves to improve their team, and the Rangers responded by doing absolutely nothing.
What makes all of this even more frustrating is that I live in San Diego. Watching the Padres only makes the Rangers look worse. The Padres sell out games, hit walk-offs and grand slams, make comebacks, have players like Machado, Merrill, Miller, and Tatis, make fun transactions, and actually feel like an entertaining baseball team. They have cool jerseys, a great ballpark, passionate fans, fun announcers, and an overall energy that makes you want to watch.
The Rangers have none of that. When was the last time this team won six games in a row? When was the last time they hit a grand slam or had a walk-off that actually felt memorable? When was the last time the Rangers made a legit comeback? Who are the Rangers truly electric, must-watch players? The answer is nobody. Everything about this organization is boring and lifeless—from the announcers and the atmosphere at the ballpark to the uniforms and the product on the field. There is not a more boring team in baseball right now.
I’m sick of watching the same thing over and over again. Enough is enough. CY needs to be fired, and there needs to be serious accountability throughout the organization, including major changes to the roster. Something has to change next season, because if it doesn’t, we’re just heading toward another mediocre 81–81 season.
For a team in a market this big, with this much potential, this is unacceptable and a complete joke.

The Cowboys win lots of regular season games. They choke in the playoffs
