I had about 4 hours of nothing to do during work today and nothing to do until the game started today, and nothing to do now… (Finals = dead time). So yeah, it would have been nice to have something to read.

Ah

I know all about dead time.

Seriously, I don’t know why TR’s mailbag isn’t up. My theory is, his mailbag has become such a joke, he doesn’t get enough serious questions to post mailbags on a regular basis.

CJ with a 5.40 ERA

If this keeps up… Frankie Frank has been dominating, so perhaps he should get a shot at closing down the road.

There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

a bit too early

by clark on May 12, 2008 11:31 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Agree

And not that this means anything, but he has to be the most unimposing closer in baseball. Most closer are huge imposing figueres and the Rangers have the next American Idol prancing in from the bullpen.

LOOGY

by jparks77 on May 13, 2008 9:51 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think his role can be a bit bigger than a LOOGY

I think he’d probably make a nice 8th inning releiver. If only we had a better option for closer, he and Joaquin Benoit could split time in the 8th inning, and then our bullpen would look a little better right now.

But I am starting to come around to the fact that he is not a long-term option for closer.

Theory on CJ

Don’t know if someone hypothesized this already since after Johjima (and really, of all people, JOHJIMA?) hit that homer, the comments pretty much exploded.

I think that after CJ’s the kind of guy where after he finishes warming up, he needs to get in the game ASAP. The last few times he’s gotten hit, if I’m not mistaken, it’s been a situation where he’s ready but we draw a couple of walks or we get a few men on with 2 outs.

Or he could just be hurt.

when I don’t have ambien in my system? I think i’m kind of underrating it.

by cmkelly29 on May 12, 2008 11:38 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Ben used to take Ambien

It helped him for a while, then he basically got used to it and it quit working.

Anyway, I think that’s a good plan. I need to start watching the Rangers while on Ambien.

As it is, I got none of the work done I planned on doing tonight, and I’m now too wired to go to sleep or focus on a book.

Hammy blast

hittracker has it at 466 in standard distance, 5th longest of the year.

for true distance, eliminating all wind/temperature factors (which is kind of questionable, but hey) its got it at 467, but tied for 1st as some of the other top 5 were massively wind aided.

TRADE HANK!

I’d rather see Ramon in the iineup than Hank anyday! and not just because of the walk off. He’s got stones and makes this team better. Time to consider making him an every day player, and the only way to do that is at 3rd.

Trading Hank

will be one of the top topics, this year and next.

His last really solid year was 2004. Either Injury or suckitude has hit every year since then. The Rangers have to decide whether or not to give him $6.2 million on an option next year. I know I would shop him.

I know I still regret the Rangers never closing the deal with him and the Marlins.

Trading Hank

Trading Hank for a solid package of prospects in order to slide Young over to 3B is a very real possibility and one that I would be okay with.

Trading Hank in order to replace him with Ramon Vazquez is another story. Vazquez is a utility player that hit a walk-off HR last night and now he is the flavor of the day. He isn’t a starter.
