Okay, this is weird. My father just called, and he NEVER calls me. Not because he's a bad father, because I talk to my mother 1000 times a week, and my brother and my Aunt.
Anyway, it was something about my puppy who he's watching. Apparently, according to my mother, he spoils her rotten.
I proceed to go on a gigantic rant about the Rangers...(like he cares, but he is my father and he does love baseball)
so I'm "blah blah....freaking 4th OF starting every game, blah blah, we lost Cruz, blah blah, I hate the A's, blah blah...the Mariners...blah blah"
he's just quiet, I asked if he was there. Totally serious...I said "Hello"...then he replies
"So what? what are you going to do about it... nothing, I suggest you relax or quit watching"
I tried a "but" and he cut me off, "they're one of best teams in baseball, try enjoying it. I didn't call to talk about the Rangers" (okay I had that coming)
and....back to the puppy talk, which cheered me up immediately
What a jerk, with all his rational crap
Lainey, I think you are awesome but perhaps you and several others should take some advice from your father. It wasn't too long ago when the Rangers were pretty much a shoe to miss the playoffs. We got to enjoy this while we can because you never know when the the Rangers history is going to catch up to them. Besides, most of us watch sports, well at least me, to get away from the troubles or hassles of everyday life, not create new ones.
