**Online Host** You have entered Texas Rangers Manager Interviews Chat!

HandleOfJD: Alright, Mr. uh... let's see here... McDougal! What do you think makes you qualified to be the manager of the Texas Rangers?
HammerinHal: well i'm a big fan of the game. i probably watch a baseball game every day.
EcoTomHicks: /visibly tortured

anything else?
HammerinHal: well i don't wanna brag but i used to play ball back in my day.
EcoTomHicks: funny i don't remember ever seing you
HandleOfJD: Patience...

What level did you play at?
HammerinHal: i was the starting first baseman for james banks jv team. i got kind of wrapped up in computers in college, but when i showed up to quad with my mitt heads turned. i think people remembered me.
EcoTomHicks: yeah, but you bare an uncanny resemblance to joe morgan so it could have just been that.
HammerinHal: 'scuse me?
HandleOfJD: Hrm! Uh, thanks for coming in, Mr. McDougal. We'll be contacting you shortly.
EcoTomHicks: yeah see you doogz.
  **Online Host** HammerinHal has left the chat room
HandleOfJD: What was that all about? Do you want to just chase off every person that comes in here?
EcoTomHicks: are you serious? you really thought that guy was going to be the new manager?
HandleOfJD: Maybe not, but your attitude certainly isn't helping. What was wrong with the guy before him?
EcoTomHicks: he was wearing a mariners shirt!
HandleOfJD: So what? Just because he's a Mariners fan he can't coach a team in the same division?
EcoTomHicks: that's not my point. the guy was clearly an idiot.
HandleOfJD: How, pray tell, do you know that?
EcoTomHicks: well, for starters, he thought i was tom arnold. secondly, we had to stop the interview several times so he could stop laughing every time we said "but".
EcoTomHicks: i'm tired and i need a drink. the next guy that walks into this room is getting the job and that's final.
HandleOfJD: Well, let's take a look.
