You take that back!
In all seriousness, I was as excited about having Mike back in Texas as I was about CY hiring Bochey.
Throughout Rangers history, the biggest challenge we faced was pitching...always pitching. Yeah, we might have had a good one or two here and there, but that only gets you so far.
Fact is, after STL, he was ready to retire, but when the likes of Chris Young and Bruce Bochey come knocking on your door, how could anyone not want to join those legends?
