Fake Nolan Ryan – Cliff Lee Gone

DP — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 17:18:19 +0000

Nolan Ryan - Cliff Lee Talks

Fake Nolan talks about the negotiation between the Rangers and Cliff Lee. First part is the crazy menu of items they offered Lee for him to sign back with the Rangers.

He goes into the time spent hog hunting while in Arkansas. Seems they forgot about the contract while doing some very native things with each other. Then the snow monkeys popped in and ruined it all.

The UnTicket Salutes the Texas Rangers

AP — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:15:07 +0000

This is the team that used to have a baseball wearing a cowboy hat as it's logo.

The UnTicket doesn’t get sportsy too often, but we have to stop down and recognize the accomplishments of the red-shoed Rangers – the greatest Texas Rangers team to date. Thanks to the following players:

Elvis ‘Tiny-E/My-hair-gets-me-so-much-trim’ Andrus
Josh ‘The Natural/J-Ham/Hambone’ Hamilton
Nelson ‘Nellie/Boomstick/NC-17′ Cruz
Vladimir ‘Vladdy-Daddy/The Impaler/I-Got-Ass-For-Days’ Guerrero

Julio ‘Jules’ Borbon
Michael ‘Face-of-the-franchise/Garden-gnome’ Young
Mitch ‘Mitchapalooza/The Bitch/Cuzz‘ Moreland (interview)
CJ ‘Ceej/Phiten-Spokesman’ Wilson
Colby ‘Colbyashi/Colbra’ Lewis
Neftali ‘Neffy/Kid-Closer/Mariano 2.0′ Feliz

Clay ‘the-face-of-meth’ Rapada
(Apologies to those Rangers whom I’ve forgotten)

The following Managers/Owners:

Ron ‘Wash/Cocaine-is-a-hell-of-a-drug’ Washington (drop page)
Nolan ‘King-of-the-snow-monkeys’ Ryan (interview)
Chuck ‘Deep-Pockets/Cuban-is-my-bitch’ Greenberg
Mike ‘The Mustache’ Maddux (a great interview)
Clint ‘Do-you-really-miss-Rudy-Jaramillo’ Hurdle (also a great interview)
Jon ‘Still-want-that-fern-Bob?’ Daniels
Jim ‘I-split-my-pants’ Sundberg

Also, a tip of the cap to former Ranger greats and Ticket favorites Justin ‘The Smoak Monster’ Smoak, and Jared ‘Salty’ Saltalamacchia.

Oh — Corby loves to bag on twitter, but the following baseball tweeters made things all the more enjoyable this season: @aandro, @sbass1310, @newbury1310, @NewbergReport, @backstop10, @theoldgreywolf, @Evan_P_Grant, @killer1310, @MikeBacsik, @TicketRadio, and @Bobanddan.

And last but not least – A tip of the cap to the boys of Diamond Talk. As much as I like to kick those guys in the nads (here & here), it has to be noted that Sean Bass and David Newbury did a great job all season long. I might repost a diamond talk from some point in the season (Game 6 over the Yankees, or the final edition of the season) if people request it in the comments below.

Fake Nolan Ryan – Talks Rangers

DP — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:21:07 +0000

Fake Nolan jumps on to talk about the Rangers.

Including moving the ballpark to Stephenville, where you bring your varmit guns to shoot game.

If they stay in Arlington, they need to put a roof on it, install a big video screen and play football.

Then Nolan said he started stocking the lake outside of the ballpark. He says there’s some kick ass fishing out there now.

Ryan spoke about a meeting with Ron Washington in his home, just outside of the Ballpark. We were able to find a picture of this meeting.

Then he had to bail for a meeting with a Snow Monkey.

Snow Monkeys Follow Fake Nolan Ryan to Surprise

DP — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:36:23 +0000

Snow Monkeys

Well, they’re at it again! The Snow Monkeys are in Surprise where Nolan is for spring training.

He says they traveled with him without him knowing. Evidently one of them has a good pitching arm and Nolan is considering him for the rotation.

Nolan Ryan Talks About Snow Monkeys

DP — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:27:26 +0000

Snow Monkeys

At 8:40 today, the Musers replayed audio from a recent ticketstock with Nolan Ryan.

Junior claims it was the best audio ever at the ticket. Junior, you like this gig?

Nolan tells the story of being the ambassador for the snow monkeys.

I must admit, it was like living a fake Nolan Ryan bit. Listening to everyone giggle makes it even funnier.

Fake Nolan Ryan – Talking Baseball & Huntin

DP — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:56:03 +0000

Fake Nolan Ryan talked to the Musers this morning about the exciting win of the Rangers over the Yankees. Except he was more interested in talking about other things.

Wild Boar racing, bad crappie fishin and the fact he wants Jerry Jones to move the new stadium because it’s messing up his fishin on the little pond outside the ballpark.
