Series Thread: Suddenly Streaking Rangers visit Un-Athletics

[ESPN Refugee]

You can hear it on The Ticket if anyone is interested.

The following are the notes I took during Ron's statement:

he made a mistake

embarrassed more than he has ever been

put himself in a situation and he owns it

not true to his wife

he owns that mistake

apologized to her and those he disappointed because he let them down

she always stood by him

a low time in his life

broke a trust with his wife

disappointed players, coaches, MLB, and Rangers

asking for forgiveness and understanding

asked for others to respect their privacy because it is a personal matter

looks to the future and getting back in the game

thanks to fans

will miss the metroplex and fans

About half of that could have been directly lifted from his statement of contrition after the cocaine incident. Dude needs to get his shit together.

My thoughts exactly. In a high profile position like his does he not think that it will turn out bad in the end. He was fortunate to still have a job after the cocaine incident and then he does this, whatever it really is. I say that last part because there may be more to this story.

Was gonna say, seems like the coke incident is more egregious from a club perspective. There's more to this story.

Exactly

We still don't know the circumstances surrounding this incident. This admission doesn't necessarily mean that that one blog post isn't true, but it doesn't mean it is true either. Unfortunately, our media will not investigate this much. I just hope Ron and his wife can work this out and since she was there with him today it appears they are working it out.

There were some other interesting people with them.

There's got to be.

I hate to cast this stone, but there are "lots" of players/managers who have affairs - especially on the road - so this seems like maybe there's another shoe to fall.

And Saddles....thanks for posting the recap. I wasn't able to listen.....appreciate it.

Ski's hot right now and gives us the lead.

Telis coming thru w/rbi

Rua with another hit to tack on another run

Fun ain't it. Glad you made it.

 

[Bmurph]

Got 4, good start

 

[Bmurph]

Fun ain't it. Glad you made it.

Glad to be here, even if it is short lived. Gotta run in a bit. Fun seeing those faces in the A's dugout and in the stands. I know we would be livid if we had the best record in baseball at the AS break and had a second half like they've had, after the trades.

Wonderful!!!

Damn it.....I forgot the game was early today.

Looks like they figured out things would be fine without me.
