Sunday morning stuff
Michael Young says that if the Rangers keep pitching like they have so far in May, they can win the division. Given that the Rangers have a 1.84 ERA this month, I'd agree with that. Evan Grant also mentions in the game story that the bullpen had to do the heavy lifting yesterday, and thus there may be a move today to get a fresh arm up.
Mark Connor compares Scott Feldman to Roy Halladay, in terms of having two fastballs that look the same but move differently, and Luis Mendoza had a solid simulated game yesterday.
Galloway has another "fire Jon Daniels" column up, saying that Ron Washington is just a yes-man for Daniels, and thus if Washington has to go, so does Daniels. Galloway also suggests that the talent level on this team is so low, Washington winning any games is a minor miracle.
Tim Cowlishaw says, give Washington the entire 2008 season.

Galloway makes
a lot of people uncomfortable because he is not afraid to tell the truth.

Like when he said...
...the Padres trade was a great trade, because the Rangers got two pitchers for the price of one, and Adrian Gonzalez wasn’t going to be any good anyway?
I figured you’d be a fan of this particular column, though.

Galloway
There’s also this gem from today’s column:
“Any good general manager I’ve ever known has this philosophy:
The day they can walk into the manager’s office and dictate who to play, or to bring up or send down, that’s the day the GM knows he has the wrong guy in charge of the dugout.”
Really? Because I kinda thought making the decisions on who to bring up or send down was the GM’s job ON EVERY TEAM IN BASEBALL.
So by that logic, every team in the major leagues has the wrong guy in charge of the dugout…

I've given up
on Galloway. I used to think he was just a sour old man. But now I think he’s an idiot. Wasn’t he praising Jon Daniels after the Chris Young trade?
I stopped listening to his show and reading his columns a loong time ago.

Cowlishaw is right...
and Galloway is wrong (shocking).
I’ve been very impressed with Feldman as well, but perhaps it’s a little premature to compare him to Halladay.

Common Sense
Good article by Cowlishaw. He takes the common sense approach that if Washington got so much blame for the bad stretch (and talk of his dismissal), he should then get a lot of praise for the recent good play (and job security for the rest of the season). However, common sense rarely plays into managerial evaluation.

Mathis is in The Show!
http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/05/cowlishaw-and-your-newest-texas-ranger-i.html
The Rangers have RHP Doug Mathis here to join the major league club. Not certain on who he will replace (either Kevin Millwood or Travis Metcalf) but the club had a spot on the 40-man roster and Mathis can give the team some length out of the bullpen today if needed.
...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?

STFU Randy Galloway...
Have you noticed how well the Rangers have been doing? What horrible timing on your LBrooksish type article. I suggest getting laid once in a while if anyone will have you. I bet you’d piss all over yourself and complain the whole time.

Galloway is a complete idiot
And I don’t see how anyone who reads actual baseball sites like this one can think any differently…
He masks his ignorance by coming up with little pet names to call people…
A common approach among the third grade population…
I know at least 50 people who can write a more intelligent article about the Rangers than Galloway and that’s without looking very hard…
It’s very easy to say a team that hasn’t won sucks, yada, yada, yada…
Tell us why they suck, Galloway? or what they have to do to win.
Oh, yeah. No pitching. And fire Ron Washington. Let Nolan run things.

Galloway vs. Cowlishaw
the truth is probably somewhere in between.

can. He takes notes, records it and plays it backwards hoping to hear messages about the Revolution while chanting “helter skelter”.

it's that flemwad, Brian Estridge, that makes the show unbearable...
...he always utters stuff when others are talking…
“uh-huh… yep… nope… mm-hmm…”
...such a beating.
but, yeah, if you’re listening to ESPN for Rangers coverage, you’re better served talking to yourself.

Buncha Pinkos!
With a nod to Archie Bunker…
This is a very wonderful thing the Players & MLB do. I am glad it is now a permanent tradition.
Catch the CJ tie-in?
During games played on Mother’s Day, players will wear pink wristbands and pink titanium necklaces made by Major League Baseball licensee Phiten. Pink ribbons will be displayed on player uniforms, as well as those of all on-field personnel. The breast cancer awareness theme will be carried throughout the game, including pink ribbon logos on the bases and commemorative home plates, and pink dugout lineup cards.

If the Rangers keep pitching like this, they can win the division.

That it’s very unlikely that we will win the division:

Usually I can’t stand his columns, but in this case I agree with him. The whole “we’ll reassess at the All Star break” thing was bullshit and unprofessional.

"dead-skipper-still-walking"
I think, perhaps, Voodoo is being used here, the Voodoo skipper. The Resurrection of Sidney Ponson, from beyond the grave for example. Then there is the New Orleans and Aruba influences. To explain the unexplainable. Voodoo is as good as anything.
