Mark Cuban is a punk, let him sit in the stands with all the other rich jerks, i.e. the only ones who can afford NBA tix. Did he buy the team so he could be a big boy and hang with the Felons of the NBA? He's a joke and bad for the league.

Excellent choice by a team known for making same bad decisions in the past (i.e. A-Rod 1/4 billion dollar contract). Showalter is an idiot and deserved to be fired. Washington is an excellent teacher and communicator. Not that the Rangers will ever win it all under current ownership, they have at least made a laudible choice at skipper.

Mr. Washington Goes to Texas
"A manager's influence is good for +/- 3 games?" Hmmmmmm Another baseball adage up for question. Are the Marlins 3 +/- games only in the 1997 and 2003 WS and not the regular season? Or are McKeon and Leyland exceptions. Are the 06 Tigers + 3 games because of Leyland or +30 games because of him. Are any of the Braves teams, barely playoff worthy, worth a damn without Cox? I think this baseball adage is due for a rest. "Hit 'em where they ain't" isn't.
