How can a pennant winning baseball team like Texas give up 45 free trips to first base in only 7 games?
The Curse of Walker Bush, that’s how.
Recall that W. also stands for Worst (President Ever).
After a life of screwing up everything he touched, George W. was given a bribe, cause his Daddy was President.
A “no money down” offer to buy the Texas Rangers in the late 80’s. (Loser Bush didn’t even have the down payment, but he borrowed it – without having to sign any loan documents! No corporate favoritism by that bank, eh?) He wasn’t qualified to run a baseball team, just like he wasn’t qualified for any job.
And thus he cursed the Rangers, in the same way that the Red Sox were once haunted by the Curse of the Bambino.
Everyone knows that the Rangers managed to give up a two run lead in the final inning, the final strike, not once, but twice in Game 6. And thus lose the Series.
What else could it be, but a curse?
Texas has great players, some commendable battlers.
(Though Republicans must hate them, because most are “scary brown people” with Latin surnames. ) Napoli and Cruz battled through painful injuries, played great.
Sure, the Cardinals have great clutch players too, but even some of them have to think “Why did fate give us this series?”
It can only be “The Curse of W”.
So, he ruined our finances, our agriculture, and our national pastime in our second largest state.
The trifecta – the dude hurt motherhood, apple pie, and even baseball.
Congrats to the Cards, my favorite team.
Next time W., head overseas if Texas gets in the Series. Maybe to serve your prison sentence for crimes against humanity …. and baseball.
