Hmm?

He could easily have just lost the game for us. Just because it wasn’t a save situation by definition doesn’t mean he didn’t lose it.

And why, if you knew what was being talked about, did you tell me flat out to brush up on my history? Yoiu made a stupid statement and my response was because it seemed that you thought miles was older than he was considering the topic… If you were really just ‘telling a joke’ then being an ass with your ‘history’ remarks were a poor decision…

OK. I have a degree in Political Science. Before anyone chimes in, I know it’s a useless piece of paper, but it should at least demonstrate to you that I have some idea of what I’m talking about. I’ve at least HEARD of both of those events.

Point is: I know the fucking difference between Watergate and Lewinsky. I know more about those events because I’m smart and you’re not. Smart people can read between the lines. It was a goof, and the fact that you’re so adamant on this point just mystifies me.

I know what I’m talking about, and you don’t. Get over it like a man.

Sir

I have an MA in History. I, too, know what I’m talking about concerning those events.

The whole point was that you were not making a joke. Making mistakes and then claiming that it was all a joke when someone points out your lack of knowledge is a sure sign of someone with low self-esteem.

I should add that since I am pointing out your mistakes one by one, actually proving my point, and all you seem to be able to do is call me names and throw out hyperbole, I would venture that I am much more intelligent than you and your vitriol is due to your embarrassment.

You’ve proven, not only to me, that you can’t own up to your own mistakes.

I never said you didn't know the difference between the two

just that you got them confused. And your post throwing out random things connected to the event smacked of someone trying to claw their way out of a corner.

For the record, I never called your intelligence into question. nor did I throw out names at you. If I got the situation wrong (which I still believe I did not) then I apologize. But I never insulted you, only your position and your actions.

Why wouldn't

they keep going with Wright who’s capable of pitching more than 1 inning?

by Rangerchick on May 12, 2008 11:10 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Because Wright

Has pitched 3 days straight.

Because Ron Washington is managing the pen

seriously… CJ should not have been out there in the first game of a series when it’s not a save situation… and then he brings a guy in for his ML Debut in extras .. you’ve got to be kidding me… me thnks he is tempting the baseball gods too much

But who would you have rather brought in for the 10th? Franklyn German?

there’s no inherited runners on base for him to allow in if you bring him in at the start of an inning.

IF Warner Madrigal is as awesome as they say, and

IF CJ Wilson does not improve, Madrigal will be closer by the season’s end.

Nothing would be sweeter

than Madrigal closing out wins against the Halos at the end of the season to put the Rangers in the playoffs, or at least keep Anaheim out.

To be fair, they pitch half their games in Arlington.

Johjima’s home run probably would’ve died in Seattle or Anaheim, for example.

It isn’t like this is a rare occurence for CJ right now. He’s been shaky for awhile now.

If Gagne had actually been good in Boston, with him, Papelbon, and Okajima

actually turning into the vaunted triad of late-inning domination, then it would’ve been a good deal for both sides.

However, Gagne busted (and as he continues to do this season), and it turned out to be quite a pretty steal.

Excellent high upside minors prospect, decent outfielder, and decent back of the rotation starter when healthy? Yes please.
