Wild Card Leaders.
Slow clap.
The coming of The Carpenter.
“I love to hit. I want to hit .300, .400, .500. I just love to hit.”
Even though rooting for specific teams to get into the playoffs over other teams always seems to bite me in the behind, I am rooting for the Rangers. Seeing the Sox miss the playoffs would be wonderful.
Yes, seeing the Sox miss the playoffs would be absolutely wonderful.
Even better would be for Texas to claim Smoltz and Smoltz pitch effective on the Red Sox dollar, helping the Rangers get the wild card muhahaa
Not really, because Texas' pitching depth would be even scarier.Originally Posted by DaSh 1s

Scary-- sure.
But would it be historic?
I'm all about this. Good chance I can make it to a Yankee playoff game!
A fool and his money can throw one heck of a party!
Really fallen apart when it mattered most
Young and Hamilton went down with injuries. Red Sox got red hot. Cant really blame the Rangers.
So, do we blame Alex or Joe (Torre)??
At this point, it's more likely Cano With RISP's fault. He seems to be to blame for most things these days.
^ He is just so lazy.
Well, they certainly miss Young's production. But Hamilton was not doing all that great this year.
He wasn't doing well, but his average is back up around .275 now I believe.
Yes, but he also had a .318 OBP.
Signed Rich Harden.
Trade Kevin Millwood, cash for Chris Ray.
smart move there, if they think they have enough AAA depth to back up Harden if/when he goes down after 140 IP.

Baseball America ranks Rangers farm system #1, most being pitchers.

well then. play ball.

I heard Rangers are in talks to trade minor league catcher Max Ramirez to Boston for Mike Lowell
That would make some sense. I mean Youk can play third and V-mart can play first. How good is Max at catching? Is he worse then Salty or are they about the same?
Still and will always be a New England Patriots fan.
I doubt trading for Max Ramirez would have any implications for this season.
I'm not real sure to tell you the truth. I live near the Astros farm system and not the Rangers unfortunately. Looks like he played 17 games in 2008 and hit .217. That looks terrible but you can't really take anything from 46 at-bats.
With the signing of Harden and getting Millwood's contract off there hands, it looks good for next season. Bryd declined arbitration so Lowell (if healthy) could be a good DH fill. They've got to do something with Chris Davis at third. He's garbage.

A Rangers fan just fell out of the upper deck to the bottom in the 5th.

No clue on this person's fate yet.
They didn't seem in too much panic compared to what you would imagine. I was watching the game.

May be the best thing to happen to that franchise if Cuban can in to the all boys club.
Dumb & Dumber
I hope your not still waiting for someone to laugh.
me no understand what you mean?
Dumb & Dumber
Josh Hamilton is a good baseball player.
Absolutely. I do hate the guy because he's a douchebag and seems to cry about everything, but the guy is 100% about winning and certainly doesn't have any problems spending money if it means he's putting out a winning team.
Hughes Joba Montero= The Future
Watching Cuban and Selig battle it out could be fun!!!
baseball owners accepting cuban...unpossible.
oy vey
Cuban could be a Steinbrenner for the Rangers. He tried in basketball, but that quasi-cap is hurting him.
Wouldn't it be great to have nice NY/Texas rivalry? I think it would be great for baseball and as a local, I really think the market would support a $150M payroll (especially with that stadium) along with the rivalry against NY.
I'm a Yankees fan first, but I'm also a Ranger's fan. I'm DYING to see Cuban take the Ranger and start spending big bucks on the team.
A fool and his money can throw one heck of a party!
Rangers getting better.. They traded for Cantu from the Marlins to replace Chris Davis.
I thought of Steinbrenner too, when I heard about Cuban. Probably good to have that personality in that market to draw some attention

Rangers just traded for Guzman
Jeff Francoeur, eh?
A fool and his money can throw one heck of a party!
Wow, CJ Wilson is having a phenomenal year. He's only given up 127 hits in 171 innings.........and only 8 HRs with 140 Ks.
Hughes Rules: Pleading the Fifth
In hindsight, it seems kind of nuts how long he's been in their pen.
Who knew, huh? You'd have thought that with their pitching issues, they would have tried him out as a starter before now.......but he's not old, so he still has plenty of future ahead of him
Hughes Rules: Pleading the Fifth
He's been in the starting rotation since opening day.....
We're talking about previous years...
Hughes Rules: Pleading the Fifth
They need him to be as good as he is (7-0, sub-2 ERA since the ASB) because Lee and Lewis are really struggling of late... that's a good staff though
Likes the Yankees.
Kinsler suspended one game..seems kind of petty to me...the game is over already...
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/mlb...ory?id=5572707Texas Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler has received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine by Major League Baseball for returning to the field to celebrate Nelson Cruz's walk-off home run after he had been ejected Friday.
