What's Wrong with the Texas Rangers?

The Texas Rangers, America's most iconic baseball team (sorry, Astros fans), have been having a rough go of it lately. Let's take a humorous look at some of the reasons why.

The Curse of the Billy Goat
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Okay, so maybe this one isn't entirely true, but it's fun to believe. Back in 1945, the Chicago Cubs were in the World Series against the Detroit Tigers. A man named Billy Goat Sianis was denied entry to Wrigley Field because he was bringing his pet goat with him. Sianis put a curse on the Cubs, saying that they wouldn't win another World Series until they let a goat into the ballpark. The Cubs haven't won a World Series since.
So, what does this have to do with the Texas Rangers? Well, the Rangers were founded in 1972, and they've never won a World Series. Coincidence? I think not.
The Curse of the Bush
Another theory about the Rangers' struggles is that they're cursed by the Bush family. George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, is a part-owner of the Rangers. And, as we all know, the Bush family has a long history of bad luck in sports.
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
For example, the Dallas Cowboys, another Texas sports team, have been struggling to win a Super Bowl since the Bush family bought the team in 1989. And, of course, the Rangers have never won a World Series since George W. Bush became part-owner of the team.

But perhaps the most likely explanation for the Rangers' struggles is simply that they're just a bad team. They've had some good players over the years, but they've never been able to put together a championship-caliber team.
And, let's face it, the Rangers are just a really boring team to watch. They're always playing it safe, and they never seem to have any fun. It's no wonder that fans have lost interest in the team.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
So, what's the solution?
Well, there's no easy answer. But perhaps the Rangers just need to loosen up a little bit and start having some fun. Maybe they need to hire a manager who knows how to win. Or maybe they just need to get rid of the curse of the Billy Goat.
Whatever the solution is, the Texas Rangers need to do something to turn things around. Otherwise, they're going to be cursed with mediocrity for a long time to come.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Conclusion
The Texas Rangers are a struggling baseball team. There are many theories about why they're struggling, but the most likely explanation is simply that they're a bad team.
Hopefully, the Rangers will be able to turn things around soon. But until then, we'll just have to enjoy watching them continue to disappoint their fans.
P.S. If you're a Rangers fan, I apologize for this post. But hey, at least it's funny.
