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:

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.

then i will once again request the post-yankees diamond talk. also if some of the musers audio pages were updated, my radio pants would go crazy.
It’ll take a while to cut up, but I’ll put up the ALCS Game 6 D-Talk. Those boys gushed for three straight hours.
Regarding requests – I don’t see the tweets to @theunticket or emails directly to DP, so apologies if you asked earlier.
Regarding updating daily Muser audio – DP handles that whenever he has free time. My understanding is that he’s currently serving as a mercenary for a feared drug lord in the Congo, so updates to those daily staples might go stale until he’s met his quota for raping and pillaging. If there is something special (i.e. a funny guest, explosive diarrhea, a funny guest with explosive diarrhea) then I’ll make sure it gets up.
*wink*
ALCS Games 3 & 4… my favorite baseball moments…
A big strooooong double good thanks to you! keep up the good work.
