\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last July, as I reviewed the best commercials across Major League Baseball, I took a look at the St. Louis Cardinals\u2019 team commercials<\/a><\/p>\n

After Tony La Russa was re-signed prior to the 2011 season, Ryan wrote an article called, \u201cLa Russa is back! Bring in the geezers!<\/a>\u201d where he scrutinized TLR\u2019s tendency to employ aging infielders.<\/p>\n

Several of the Rangers\u2019 players made an appearance in our beloved MLB Look-alikes series:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 David Murphy<\/a><\/strong> and Allan Ruck (link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Josh Hamilton<\/a><\/strong> and Cole Hauser (link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ian Kinsler<\/a><\/strong> and Efraim E. Diveroli (link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ron Washington & Lil\u2019 Ron Washington (link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Shortly after the Cardinals signed Nick Punto<\/a><\/strong> in January, I also examined TLR\u2019s affinity for pocket-sized infielders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As both Spring Training and the Albert Pujols<\/a><\/strong> negotiations reached an end this past spring, Justin argued that Pujols\u2019 impending free agency was bad for baseball<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, Griff contended that Pujols\u2019 free agency was good for baseball<\/a><\/p>\n

Ryan detailed some of Tim McCarver\u2019s (who he deems to be baseball\u2019s worst announcer) finest facepalm moments<\/a> from World Series past.<\/p>\n

I posted the video of the worst commercial of all-time<\/a>, courtesy of the super-awkward TLR.<\/p>\n

We captured Rob on TV<\/a> during Game 1 of the World Series, right next to David Freese<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just the other day prior to Game 3 in Arlington, I wrote that Allen Craig<\/a><\/strong> would torch the Rangers\u2019 left-handed starters<\/a>, and he made me look like a genius by launching a home run in his first at-bat against Matt Harrison<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Thanks, Allen.<\/p>\n

Back when it was still relevant, I explored the significance behind the Rangers\u2019 claws and antlers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
