[speaker001:] well course my favorite team there is the Texas Rangers so I watch them all the time and who do you watch
[speaker002:] uh the Mets but I don't do that anymore because uh they're doing lousy I don't know
[speaker001:] the Mets this isn't their best season is it
[speaker002:] no no
[speaker001:] well the Rangers are the few games behind Minnesota but if we could win the next oh I guess we'd win have to win most all of them we could still go to the to the race to do the
[speaker002:] I think you're uh definitely an avid fan huh
[speaker001:] well I watched the two games the last two nights so
[speaker002:] they just I gave up on the Mets around August you know
[speaker001:] oh is that right
[speaker002:] how many games out is Texas
[speaker001:] pardon
[speaker002:] how many games out are they
[speaker001:] I think they're out six and so they have to still win almost every single game that they have to play to the end now
[speaker002:] right right yeah I think Minnesota's got to get like three wins or or Texas has to lose three games or some combination of that well maybe next year
[speaker001:] or else yeah yeah I don't know Minnesota's won a good game they're they're doing a good job this year I don't know
[speaker002:] yeah they they are they are
[speaker001:] they really but I'm gonna watch tonight because Nolan Ryan's gonna pitch so I always like to watch him pitch
[speaker002:] yeah who's who's who he used to be on the Mets a long time ago but who's who's who else is like Texas's big players that that uh
[speaker001:] yeah um-hum well uh we just traded Buechele and I really liked him but but he's gone now so I I guess uh Sierra I like to watch him bat
[speaker002:] right Ruben right he's supposed to be good
[speaker001:] yeah he's he's really good Franco's good except that uh he's got injuries right now his hamstring's down in the bottom of his legs he can't run very well but it he usually hits a home run then he just trots around the bases it's okay and um
[speaker002:] he's the shortstop though right Franco
[speaker001:] yeah well they've moved him now since he can't move that quickly since it hurts him
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] they moved him to second base and they moved Petralli into that area in that runs now in between the shortstop area and he takes second base
[speaker002:] and Sierra's an outfielder
[speaker001:] um Sierra let's see yeah Sierra's into is he middle field or left field he's not left field he must be center field
[speaker002:] yeah I don't see I don't know the American League that well once in a while I watch the Yankees um but rarely and uh but this guy that I'm I work with is in this rotisserie league where they they choose
[speaker001:] do you oh now what's that I don't know what that is
[speaker002:] well you choose players and you do stuff based on stats and everything like that so he's always talking to me about the American League
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] like he gets points for every time uh I think he has Ruben Sierra on his team and every time he hits a home run or steals a base or gets a hit he gets a certain amount of points and then you get pitchers and stuff like that
[speaker001:] oh oh
[speaker002:] so he's always talking about the American League which is like I said because I watch the Mets I don't really know that much about the American League
[speaker001:] yeah that's hard
[speaker002:] you're not an Astro fan
[speaker001:] um no not too not too much I I guess I just don't watch them that much um I like to watch the Oakland A's play they have a lot of good players too but I haven't watched them for a while so I don't know how they're doing too well this season
[speaker002:] no they're not they they were doing well for a while but then they kind of fell off do you get all the games out there I mean you get you get to watch the A's a lot and stuff like that
[speaker001:] um once every so often mostly Rangers games come on because that's our area but um
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] every once in a while on a Saturday or a Sunday they'll put a another league on you know
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] but it's it just depends how to you know how they fill the time sometimes anyway I um we got
[speaker002:] this is my first conversation through this Texas Instruments thing
[speaker001:] what
[speaker002:] this is the first time I've done one of these conversations yeah
[speaker001:] oh is it oh well that's kind of fun
[speaker002:] so I didn't even expect it I just I happened to have the uh I didn't even know what my um my personal identification number was I just happened to have the folder right in front of me I'm glad I brought it into work just
[speaker001:] yeah uh isn't it's a fun thing I think you'll like it it's a it's a old thing to do and um anyway we just uh if you get run out of things to say then you say good bye it was nice talking to you too
