I can't see any reason why the Rangers wouldn't continue to want Ian to hang around. And he's happy, right? So I think it will be a happy union for some time. But I know what you mean about losing favourite players. I've never actually had a favourite player play for my favourite team. If that makes sense?

I'll admit I was 1st attracted to Ian because he seemed to look like a baseball playing James Franco + there ain't nothing wrong with that. But now the attraction is much deeper.

I'll find that Mauer/Morneau mini-fic thing for you tomorrow. Joe Mauer just makes me happy. I'm super bummed about his injury. Hope he's going to be okay in 2014.

I live in Toronto - I went to see the Yankees v. Blue Jays - with my eyeballs peeled to the outfield out-of-town scoreboard for practically the whole game! Anyway, my primary team of support is the Yankees, but I also cheer for the Blue Jays, Twins + of course, Rangers! I'm a busy gal. It was an okay game + I got to see Mo for the last time so I was happy. Lagged a bit before the Yankees came back so I spent time creating "platonic friend fiction" involving players on both teams.

OMG. I feel like I've found a kindred spirit! I can talk about Ranger hair ruffling + not have someone think I'm nuts! I know so little "inside baseball" stuff because we don't have any shows like that, but obviously they would be about the Blue Jays. So I try to absorb a lot on Twitter + online generally. Did you see the Ranger rookies dressed up on the plane? THEY ARE ASKING FOR SLASH. Seriously.

And you know The Road! And you like it! Yeah!

I started foolishly reading the chat fic before the game + can I say that Ian's "gay sex event" comment is, like, The. Best. Thing. Ever. Love it. So precious.

Anyway, I feel like I'm hogging up your comments with my gushing + excitement. Let me know if I'm becoming obnoxious. I'll try to spread my commenting around to other things. I don't have any friends IRL that I watch baseball with or talk baseball with so it's nice to feel @ home somewhere. I talk online with guys, but obviously not really about this stuff!
