"It's all too much"

To quote the old Beatle song.  Great playoff series for former Rangers  First Justin Duchscherer is nearly perfect in relief for the A's; Pudge gets a key hit against the Yankees and Rogers shuts them out.  To add insult to injury, Leyland explains Rogers resurgence because he's not pitching in the Texas heat.  What next?  Young will pitch a no-no and Gonzalez will hit a grand slam and go 4-4.

heh
I kind of like it. It at least gives me a rooting interest in the post-season. I was rooting for a Padres/Tigers WS, looks like half of that combination is alive at least.

If you combine
All the guys we should have signed like Dye, Delgado, Loiza, with ex-Rangers, probably about 40% of the talent in baseball is Ex-Rangers, with one or two ex-ranger all-stars per team.

That's what 40 years of useless trades gets you.

why do I bother?
So you would reverse the Loaiza for MY trade, I take it?

Loiaza
Is a guy that has rattled around for the taking of modest contracts the last few years in FA and I usually think the Rangers should sign him.

Although I think he didn't even do that great this year.

Loaiza
Struggled mightily the first half, but was one of the best pitchers in the AL in the second half. The A's actually gave him a pretty substantial contract, 3 years $21 million I believe. He's a pretty unpredictable pitcher.

You have to be kidding..
I guess it just depends on what type of his music you like, but I think "It's all too Much" is a great song, much better than some of his stuff that made it onto the Beatles major productions.  To me, it ranks with "Hey, Bulldog" as an underappreciated Beatle classic.  I would have put both songs on the "White Album" instead of say "Piggies" and "Revolution #9."

Hey Bulldog, great stuff
My favorites were always Rain, Savoy Truffle, and Tomorrow Never Knows
