Why do boot laces suck?

You got any hopes for the Rangers this year? I don't recognize 80% of the roster.

Eh, I hope they can contend for a wildcard spot. Our rotation is still not good, but young help is on its way up. The goal this year should be to learn how to be scrappy and win the close ones while surviving the blowouts. Start a winning culture again and see what we can do next year.

They made some nice additions. Semien, Seager and Garver should greatly improve your offense.

Still a lot of holes to fill, but should be an improvement this year and maybe start contending next year. Astros are keep getting weaker, A’s traded all their good players, Angels will never give Trout and Ohtani a real supporting cast and the Mariners haven’t made the playoffs since 2001.

AL West could be up for grabs next year

Translation: Per my lifetime, the Rangers stand a 70% chance of being out of playoff contention by all-star break.

That’s pitiful. Rebuilds are only worth it if you come out of the other side winning. Like the Cubs, Astros and Braves in recent times

Rangers have the ability to spend more than the Braves. We’re owned by the same media conglomerate that owns F1 and SiriusXM. The bottom line is their top priority and Ted Turner signed the worst tv deal in pro sports on his way out.

Had these boots maybe 2 months and laces are already breaking. I’m sure some of it is caused by hot slag from the cutting torch, but I think laces need to be a lot stronger.

And I’ll be the first to say that I’m not a fan of lace up boots. I wore slip ons up until they started requiring lace ups for ankle support after some retard broke his ankle in South Carolina.

But outside of just running wire through the holes, is there any laces you can get that don’t suck donkey balls. Hell, I feel like you couldn’t even choke anyone to death with these without them breaking

I feel your pain, brother. I think cement work is the worst on boots and laces but I don't weld. Makes sense though. If a drop falls on a bootlace, I don't think they make them fire retardent.

All I can say is keep buying quality laces for replacements. Gotta have em.

Maybe I’ll just trip over my bootlaces so the company will overreact again and make a rule that requires slip on boots, which are superior in every way, especially for a guy like me who pretty well can’t roll their ankles. I can roll my feet and walk on the side of my feet all day long if I want too.
