One year ago today, here at LSB, we were scratching our heads over the signing of Edgardo Alfonzo...

This kinda makes you wonder who it'll be this year

The Rangers seem to make at least one puzzling utility signing a and invite to spring training per offseason. ’06-07 it was Matt Kata. Last year, Fonzie. And Mench. This year… who knows. Maybe Damion Easley?

I was attempting to look up ..

when it was the Rangers traded for Broussard. I know Wash proclaimed shortly thereafter that “he’s going to bat against lefties until he proves otherwise”. Well he was released on May 8th, so it seems he “proved otherwise” pretty quickly.

I came across a whole page of pictures of Baseball Jesus in the process. You’re famous Jonny!!

Unfortunately

Bromide didn’t hit a couple homes, he hit us. To the tune of 4 million or somesuch number.

This will become interesting when we get to hamilton/danks/c. young days

Not really.

This will become ~~interesting~~ a beating when we get to hamilton/danks/c. young days and all the trolls crawl out of their baseboards to tell us how we trade all our pitchers away.

I’m totally done with CY/Danks/Volquez. That’s all be revisited one time too many.

If you want something interesting to check out, maybe we could relive the Gagne signing. Or GMJ signing with the Angels. Or the Catalanotto signing. In fact, I’m gonna go check out the Catalanotto signing in the archives right now, I just piqued my own interest.

Well it'd be interesting to read the threads at the time anyway, not discuss the trades now.

of course I could look that up in like 20 seconds.

the preceding post was a great success.

I'm sure someone who knew what to look for

Could come up with some pretty epic old threads via the LSB 2.0 search engine.

hmm

Could create a nice all in one fanpost with links to all the big trades, signings, maybe some gameday threads from the best games… get it all in one thread..

I think Ill do that…

the preceding post was a great success.
