Stop the presses!!! Tom Hicks has spoken on the Ron Washington cocaine use story:

"I'm comfortable it's not going to happen again. And if it does, there will be zero tolerance," Hicks said Thursday from Dallas.

Someone needs to tell Tom Hicks to shut the hell up and try to keep his soccer team out of foreclosure.

Tom Hicks has nothing to say about this. He's being forced out, new ownership is coming in, and he just needs to keep his mouth shut and let the people who have some stake in the future of the team make the comments.

Good grief...this really pisses me off. I don't want to see any more quotes from Tom Hicks about anything Rangers-related other than, "I'm settling with the creditors so the sale can be approved."

He certainly shouldn't be spouting off as if he has anything to say about anything the team is doing right now.

In case you missed it in the midst of all the brouhaha over Ron Washington's soft drink preferences,yesterday we did the community projections for Chris Davis. If you haven't already, go do your projections for him.

Today is David Murphy. Offer your projections for Murphy, in terms of PA/AVG/OBP/SLG.

First off, the collection of Ron Washington opinions:

Tim Cowlishaw doesn't think that he will be manager for much longer.
Randy Galloway tells the story of a team employee who tried to blackmail the club.
JJT believes Washington should have been fired.
Evan Grant says that Chuck Greenberg had been made aware of the situation.
Richard Durrett talks with Michael Young about the club's leadership in the clubhouse.

TR Sullivan looks at Scott Feldman after his solid start and says that he's one pitcher that the club doesn't have to worry about. I must admit, I have been having a few visions of the top two in the rotation not living up to expectations, so even though it was just another spring training game, it was nice to see Feldman do well.

Durrett also has his notes from Wednesday in Surprise.

I've got his back. Anybody who doesn't feel that way isn't a Texas Ranger.

Michael Young, after Ron Washington announced to the team that he had tested positive for cocaine last summer, per this John Hickey story.

I'm going to be gone tomorrow, as well, so be prepared for a season ending injury or a major trade or some other bombshell to come down the pipe.
