Ranger 2008 Drinking Season Begins

After enduring sub-freezing temperatures, pointless debates, and long winded explanations by CMBA President Ron during the first league meeting of the year, new Ranger management embarked on a ceremonial trip to Hooters. Heartattack and EMO ate, drank, and scouted for pregnant waitresses while discussing their combined vision for the 2008 Rangers. Needless to say, little progress was made. Heartattack had this to say, "It is my hope that this trip can rally Ranger pride and catapult this years drinking to new heights." Let the drinking commence!

New Ranger Regime Takes Over!

The reign of Tim Brannon is OVER! After a few years of making the Rangers in a perennial playoff contender and an unprecedented 2007 CMBA season that brought the Rangers to the Championship Series, Brannon resigned his post as manager to pursue other opportunities. While Jody is heartbroken, the rest of the Rangers are excited for the new regime to take over. Eric "eMo" Morrissey is the new field General and Mike "Heartattack" LaRocco is the new GM/CFO, taking over for a legend in Ranger's history, Luke Luecke, who is reactivating himself onto the team's active roster, just like Roger Dorn in Major League 2 (except he never left the active roster, so it is not really like Major League 2 at all!)! The Rangers owe their existence to Luecke, who came up with the idea to start his own team while driving to Aurora every weekend to play baseball in 2001, his guidance will be missed in the "Front Office" (Gio's Bar Table), but his expert Dart throwing will still remain. While most teammates will question Heartattack's competence, eMo will bring a baseball master strategist's mind to the managerial position. The Ranger's organization will be in good hands for the next several seasons. We wish Tim Brannon the best of luck in his endeavors, there may be a ceremonial burning effigy in his honor on opening day, thus fully freeing the team from his reign of terror.
