Jennifer Engel of the Star-Telegram loves up Rangers owner Tom Hicks waaay too much.
She says I’m Cowboys safety Roy Williams publicist…so it’s all good.
BUT…..today’s she was loving up Tom instead of calling him out for being a dreadful baseball owner who hasn’t gotten much right since firing Doug Melvin, who’s Milwaukee Brewers made the playoffs.
Hicks told her while discussing the dreadful John Danks for Brandon McCarthy deal with the White Sox, “We have made some mistakes and that was clearly the biggest one we made,” Hicks said Wednesday during his postseason postmortem with me.
“That wasn’t just JD. Our staff made the judgment that Danks was two years away, and they were absolutely wrong. The comforting thing for me now is we have a new leader, and if Nolan had been there, we never would have done [the Danks deal]. And we will never trade a No. 1 pick, a left-handed pitcher again.”
Whatever. I just have zero faith in that organization. None. It’s a shame because I think they could have something good if Hicks would spend some cash.
