THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER: The June Swoon
It’s touching, if a trifle saddening, to watch Mr. Boy become such a fan of the Texas Rangers baseball team.
Whatever. It’s not like Dick’s driving to Houston nightly to watch crappy Astro games against the Pirates or the Taterpeelers or whatever wanders down I-45. It’s just that typical south-of-Hillsboro Texas obeisance to frickin Swamptown.* Everybody knows how much I detest my home town of Dallas these days, but I’ll never not love my Rangers.
* The razor-sharp exception is Los Vaqueros. Not hard to understand, given the Bayou City’s inefficacy come nut-cutting Super Bowl Time. Me, I’m working on getting all these Mexicans on the Stars’ Aught-Nine Stanley Cup bandwagon right now, and I’m one persuasive mofo.

No, we’ll never drive to Houston for anything if we don’t have to. But Grandma, who lives in FW, is getting tickets for a game in Arlington later in the summer. I hope the Rangers still competitive by then, but I wouldn’t bet money on it.
