and look at that rumor of a Laird for Otsuka trade possibility!

Laird for Otsuka

What I wouldnt give for that deal to have been done in place of the one that did happen.

the preceding post was a great success.

Don't we all wish.

I highly doubt that deal would have gone down because we had absolutely no depth at catcher.

I've got some bad news for everybody

LSB’s favorite former Ranger has signed with the Astros. Of course, I’m talking about Matt Kata.
Now we can only hope that JD can convince Kenny Rogers to come back.

Fill in the blank

Next season will be a rousing success for the Rangers if . . .

Don't believe the hype about sloppy seconds. They ain't bad.

Nolan's offseason plan worked

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

If Nolan Ryan and Marcus Lemon shake hands.

I'll go first

…Holland and Feliz are pitching meaningful innings in meaningful ballgames next August.

Don't believe the hype about sloppy seconds. They ain't bad.

Heh

I propose “This day in LSB history” become a regular feature. Looking back through the archives >>> the Friday video, IMO.

First post was April 13th, 2005 (10:07 PM CT)

So, roughly 3 years, 7 months and change.

Jeff was the first person to comment on the site

also ironic

that he and Adam guaranteed:

Don’t worry about the ads. There will never be pop-ups, flash ads, or ads that make noise, so they shouldn’t be a problem for those of you who don’t click through on them.

They sold out, man.

Don't believe the hype about sloppy seconds. They ain't bad.

“Certainly brings to mind the photo in the ad on the left there, doesn’t it? Brett Tomko is definitely the pitching equivalent of coal in your stocking.”

Man…I remember that fucking ad.

OT - fooling around in photobucket right now

I’d like to submit this for Miles’ approval:

Ah ... the carefree days when Brooks was Chris Martin.

I remember them well.

Me too,

I still forget that Brooks is his new name.

He hate me.

“You know how there’s talk every year about the winter meetings and then people come away disappointed because not much happened?” said Buck Showalter, the Texas Rangers’ manager. “I think this is going to be the year to make all of those people happy.”

Heh.

Who says no to this deal Cinci or Texas??

Laird, Lemon, Poveda and Arias for Homer Bailey, Daryl Thompson ?

by laxtonto on Dec 5, 2008 10:36 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Daryl Thompson ?

Much better….

Sorry Longhorn for getting your hopes up bro

it just kinda makes sense from both sides…

Cinci needs a C to at least platoon with Hannigan, need MINF depth, is short in MINF deoth in the minors and they have a 40 man spot for Poveda.

Bailey needs a change of scenery, Thompson I like, but he lost 3-5 MPH on his FB 2 years ago and regained it again last year( but will it stick?), so he has some doubters, and Oscar Castro just screams a JD throw in… Young LA kid with a good sinking fastball, without a lot of innings to really get the hype up on him.
