Lemons, escapism, celebration, commerce, hey, perfect world! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93mBKjDSehY Woody Allen should have voiced the lemon.

Is it escapism to make a career out of observing and critiquing escapism, or is it making lemonade out of lemons? Or is it maybe planting lemon trees, secure in the knowledge that there will always be a market one way or the other? Lemons - Bob or Jack? Take the test now!

I'm thinking that, coming from a band that we now "know" was on the verge of collapse, The White Album came out really, really good. I mean, yeah, in retrospect you can hear how it's more or less a collection of solo & semi-solo works, but hell, so what? It's all good, some of it damn good, and it holds together and flows as a unified presentation on both a single side and a total album level. Let the revisionists disagree, they're WRONG!!!!

Not just in Austin, unfortunately...between everybody owing ginormous bills, nobody going shopping, and it being too dangerous anymore to knock on anybody's door, about the only way to "reach out" to a customer and/or debtor is by phone. Or so "they" think. I think it would just be easier to steal peoples credit card numbers, send them a big bunch of shit, defy them to get out of it, and live off the float. It's kinda like real business, only a touch less legal.

Not sure if escapism is something to be "celebrated"...a little goes a long way as far as improving one's actual condition, if that is in fact from what one is trying to escape. I don't know much, but I do know that.

Leave you hat on for me, I just had the tv on! Seriously, I'm in a bit of shock myself, at least about a sweep, and especially about how the past week would have been a double sweep minus one Darren Oliver fuckup in St. Pete. I like it too, but our staff is still prone to making what mistakes they make in such a way that results in home runs. Against the Yankees, not too cool....

The internet ids your friend.

I've gotta think that Hamilton & Cruz make a huge difference in how a pitcher approaches that batting order. With both of them out, a pitcher can afford to get tricky with the hitters & if the hitters win sometimes, it's not nearly as potentially lethal as it is with those guys in. Hamilton has crazymad skills, such an effortless swing, and Cruz, although not as fullbore "on" yet as Hamilton has been, has been getting hotter lately, and unless and until he's clinically declared finished, brings much the same potential to the plate. So with both of them in, the other guys are probably getting pitched just a teence more narrowly, and with hitters this good, a teence is all it takes. Other than Ian Kinsler, though, the whole lineup can't be approached too casually. Andrus, Young, Beltre, Moreland, & Chavez all can and have established themselves as clutch performers. And I gotta think that Kinsler gets it together at some point. I sure hope so. Both catchers can hurt you if you're not careful, Napoli having had a few streaks of total scorchitude. Yeah, Hamilton makes a difference. Cruz makes a difference. That we never went below .500 while they were both out was heartening. That the team has more or less taken up where they left off when Hamilton got hurt is very heartening. But as a Texas Ranger fan, I'm used to some pretty badass offense. Let's talk about the starting pitching to this point. This is definitely not something I'm used to, and I'm not ready to believe that it will sustain itself. At what point does Ogando hit a wall in terms of workload in his first year starting? How deep does the Inner Colby Lewis really go? How many more mental hurdles does Derek Holland have to clear? What malady will strike Matt Harrison next? But good god, so far.... And today, with Hamilton getting the day off, Dammit Darren Oliver did his job, and most importantly, Neftali Feliz came in and held a 2-0 lead w/no difficulty. He looked like we expect him to look, and he was relaxed and grinning after he wrapped it up. First time this season I've seen that. Talk about heartening... MLB Network was in and out of that game until the end...pretty wild and chippy, ejections galore!

Wow...a tightly pitched 2-0 win, with All-Time Great Slugger Elvis Andrus going yard on one that's almost on the fists...fun day! Now Detroit. Last time we played them, Hamilton got hurt and a long spell of nerves began. Not again, I hope. But damn, Rangers having really consistently good starting? I don't know how to respond just yet. It seems too good to be true, but otoh, some teams actually do have that, so why not us?
