Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Two more callups

I mentioned earlier that the Rangers purchased the contract of Bill White, after having purchased the contract of Guillermo Quiroz last weekend.

In addition, the Rangers have called up lefty pitcher A.J. Murray and outfielder Fab 5 Freddy Guzman.

This, presumably, is going to be it for the September callups.

Victor Diaz
Didn't do a whole lot wrong this year in OKC, and he finished strong after waning the last month or so. I understand the glut of OFs currently on the roster and the need to give guys like Murphy, Byrd, Cruz, Botts, and now Guzman the innings necessary to properly evaluate them, but this cannot bode well for Diaz down the road within this org.

Still, last I checked, he has more HRs than Cruz this year at the ML level, and of course, way more than Botts, and his K rate was looking pretty poor until Botts decided to show us what a real K rate looked like.

AJ Murray
If Loe goes down these last couple weeks, what are the odds he gets a start or two?

I know...just grasping for any kind of intrigue playing out the string.

Adam
What is the Fab5 thing about?

Answer:
Adam has a thing about nicknames.  That's why my family calls me Scoonie, actually.  Because he gives people stupid nicknames that have nothing to do with them.

Old school hip hop reference

It has nothing to do with Guzman, other than the fact that his name is Freddy.  But I figure anyone named Freddy should be referred to on my blog as "Fab 5 Freddy".

Every Paul I meet

Liking old school De La
There are people who don't?

Cretins...

My favorite old hop handle: Prime Minister Pete Nice. Their music gets a C+, but Pete Nice is aces.

I will not get my comeuppance!

"Scoonie."

What is the origin/background/explanation?

And does Adam have a nickname?

I will not get my comeuppance!

Noi...
Adam is just Adam, or sometimes "AJ."  His friends in law school called him "8 Ball," but that's just a bit, it's not a real nickname.

I knew a guy named 8 ball once
The name fit him to the tee...
I will not get my comeuppance!

Personally,
I think Adam should ban userid benmor78 and not let you back until you adopt the login "scoonie"
