Man, I thought the last few days of the offseason were unpleasantly slow. It turns out it has nothing on 3+ days without baseball while we wait impatiently to see two new big-ticket acquisitions on the MLB roster. But at least, Francemas is here, and there’s a positive Torrens of gifts under the tre—(is clobbered by a giant pile of rotten tomatoes).
For as much neat scheduling stuff as there is in this shortened season—extra games against NL teams we don’t see all that often have proven pretty fun and engaging!—there’s an equal amount of drudgery. The Rangers, again?
