Randy Galloway

Oh look. Galloway is bitching about the Rangers again. Is anyone else sick of this guy's constant complaining?

Now I'm not saying he should be happy all the time, but he just bitches and bitches - and it's turned me off from wanting to read him anymore. Now I know he's been at it a long time - he covered some truly BAD teams (some of that is detailed in the wonderfully written book "Seasons in Hell" by Mike Shropshire), but I'm just tired of his constant complaining about the Rangers.

Funny thing is I grew up in Philadelphia, and I saw where that can lead you. A once great sports writer there by the name of Bill Colin has turned really vitriolic towards his local team in his old age, something that Galloway will probably be if he's still doing this in another 10-15 years or so, although it might take less time.

One positive thing is that Galloway at least knows baseball, something that Jean-Jacques Taylor at the Dallas Morning News doesn't seem to have - every time I read one of Taylor's piece, it makes me think he feels like he's the same as those call in guys on post game shows that go "Hey, how come we don't spend some money and get some pitching?" - you know the oft repeated, not very well thought out questions.

Sigh. Don't even get me started on The Ticket. If either Galloway or Taylor read this, I'm sure it will be dismissed as just "one of those bloggers", but screw that. I'm a fan before I'm a blogger, and I tire of reading nonstop complaining about my team.

They should all be fired and replaced with Jamey Newberg.
