Nolan Ryan and Chuck Greenberg are bringing the ExxonMobil deal in for a landing.

And the Rangers fans have lifted their voices to the heavens and their pleas and entreaties have been heard, and the Texas supplicants have received mercy and ranson from the hands of TYRANNUS HICKS THE FIRST.

You got your playoff ticket refund money didn’t you? Who do you think wrote the check? ANSWER: ExxonMobil Oil Company of Irving Texas as earnest money on the purchase of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club.

Lackey will be the first high-priced free agent signing when Nolan gets the brand spanking new, turbo charged ExxonMobil/TexasRangers checkbook. Make that Yankees pocketbook look downright threadbare by comparison.

Sic Semper Tyrannus!!
