They had some little glimmer of hope and a 12 game losing streak screwed that to the wall. I’m sure they want to hang Teahan by his sack, but tonight wasn’t fully his fault.

i remember
she started off with just the mercury milan like a year ago
i missed all 6 runs
because of my stupid superstition
remember people
no rally images tomorrow. clearly my assumption was correct. kc has developed some kind of resistance.
Bring up Justin Smoak
i dont mind it
3 run lead against kc late in the game “should” be good
i went for a quick run
and i come back to watch a 7 run inning, i should go run more often during games…

They’re all super pissed about drafting Hosmer… they pretty much all wanted Justin Smoak.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

Meanwhile...
if things were reversed and we had Hosmer and they had Smoak, there’d be an equal amount griping that they didn’t take Hosmer.

can't wait to see him in September
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
no
I think we will see him this year. Why not? Hes on the 40 burning an option as we speak so to bring him up won’t hurt anything. After Bakersfields season is over I wouldn’t be suprised if he is called up even if its only to be used as a pinch runner late in games.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I don't think..
...he’s a Septmeber callup…
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 11, 2008 10:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Because...
...the past few years, the Rangers have only called up guys who are going to get at least semi-regular playing time. They generally haven’t called up guys just to sit on the bench.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 11, 2008 10:16 PM CDT up reply actions
From the best I can remember
They haven’t had guys like Borbon who are already on the 40 before they need to be.
Do you think he could fill a similar role
as Boggs has? Rotate in the outfield and DH on a rare occasion? The guy is a flash around the bases.

ok
But by the end of the year Borbon should be in Frisco and have been there for a couple months you would think. With the speed he has and the defensive ability I could see him being a semi regular late game defensive replacement/pinch runner

by Brett Perryman on Jun 11, 2008 10:30 PM CDT up reply actions
The Rangers...
...don’t have a history of adding guys like him to the major league roster just to do it.
Unless he really exceeds expectations, I don’t see them doing it.
I’m hard pressed to think of a guy they’ve called up just so he could sit around.
Particularly given that I’m sure they want to be cognizant of service time issues.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 11, 2008 10:33 PM CDT up reply actions
ok
Im not saying bring him up while Frisco is in a playoff series and play everyday and hes gonna stay up from here on out. But seriously what bad things can happen by bringing up the guy after his other season is over and let him use his ML ready tools, speed and defense. Even if he goes 0-fer its just more experience so when he does come up for good he will be even more ready.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I'm not arguing they shouldn't do it
I don’t really have an opinion on that.
I’m saying that I don’t think they will, given their recent history.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 11, 2008 10:33 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
He can be called up anytime. Right now hes on optional assignment. This year is his first option year. After this year he will have 2 years left. Assuming he goes to Frisco soon and finishes the year there. He will start next year in Frisco and hopefully go to OKC around midseason. Then next September he would be a callup and go into 2010, his last option year, looking to possibly be the Opening Day starter.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
He has 3 option years left after this year
He’ll have a 4th option year.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 11, 2008 10:53 PM CDT up reply actions
I am arguing they shouldn't do it
The guy is hitting .307/.349/.398 in A-ball in the best hitter’s league in professional baseball. There is no point in calling him up.
If we ignored the name, I don’t even think that people would be wanting him promoted based on his numbers. Well, except for the guys here who follow every mention of a minor leaguer with a plee to promote him.
by Brett Perryman on Jun 11, 2008 10:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Its not his name
Its the fact we gave this guy a 40 man roster spot because we felt he could make it to the bigs in a timely manner. We would not be bending over backward to get him up here. He would be in Frisco at the time and frankly I don’t see any downside to bringing up the guy. If anything you let him run and play defense at the end of games but it gives the guy confidence.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Yep
There really is no big problem in letting him see what the Majors is like and what would be expected of him.
Especially if the Rangers
are playing for nothing in September, which is the norm.

by SarasotaRanger on Jun 11, 2008 10:54 PM CDT up reply actions
Your point
applies to every player on the 40 man roster. If you feel strongly that every player on every 40 man roster should be called up and given playing time in September, fine, whatever.
by Brett Perryman on Jun 11, 2008 10:57 PM CDT up reply actions
Personally
I don’t see much of a problem if the Rangers want to bring the guys up on the 40 to be in Arlington if only to just be around the Major League team instead of doing nothing in September.
no not everyone
But the guys we think are going to be fixtures in our future, which is what I think the Rangers view Borbon as since they gave him a ML deal up front. Also position players are easier to do it with because he can only play defense and pinch run which are things he is ML ready at instead of hit which he may not be yet. Pitchers have to pitch theres no way around it.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Huh?
Even if he goes 0-fer its just more experience so when he does come up for good he will be even more ready.

Borbon
You are arguing the guy isn’t ready and you are citing his offensive stats. Fine. Im not saying bring the guy up and start him in the outfield everyday and give him everyday ABs. He won’t be ready for that. But he is ML ready in speed and defense. What would be wrong with letting him come in at the end of games either as a pinch runner who stays in the field for defense or as a defensive replacement? If he gets a few ABs in blowouts or an occassional start how will that hurt him? If anything I think it will only help his confidence. A guy in his first full season of professional ball playing in the big leagues and contributing. He will get to experience the major leagues which can only help him in another year or two when he comes up for good.

I have an easier time getting attention in GameThreads than anywhere else in my life…
David Murphy is approaching the point where he needs to be put out to stud.
For the greater good of the game.

Well, according to some,
Murphinator is a 4th OF. I have never made the mistake of calling him such a thing, as I don’t want him to kill me through telepathy.

I still hope
C.J comes in he’s one that won’t blow the lead
The funny thing about my back is that its located on my cock.
Why?
waste pitches from him with the lead, that sounds like something Ron Washington would do!

I would rather
Waste his pitches and win the game then watch frankie blow the lead
The funny thing about my back is that its located on my cock.
there goes the save opp.
at least he will be available tomorrow, but man… i swear we take away more save opps in the 8th/9th than any team in baseball, either by blowing the lead or adding to it.

MOST overrated band ever? Hardly
by Dirk Diggler on Jun 11, 2008 10:39 PM CDT up reply actions
I really
don’t have a problem with their early stuff, its just everything after the first few albums that I think suck and also how people say they are the greatest metal band of all time and BS like that. They aren’t that skilled musicians and their songs aren’t that good to be considered the best metal band in sound or in talent.
They really haven't been Metal per se
in years so I think you’re right there.
But, they’re one of the best bands of all time. From the early 80’s metal stuff to the more modern rock type stuff.
The fact that they remain popular after changing their sound so much speaks to their talent.

Well...
I would say Cliff Burton was a very skilled bass guitarist.
"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Overrated
Really doesn’t say much for your actual opinion, though.
They’ve been the most popular band in the world for 25 years, so if you think they’re just a tick less than perfect I suppose you could say they’re overrated.

at least Bono loves Jesus and wants to help make the world a better place.
I guess that qualifies him to manage the Rangers ;)

The guy
spent like 2 thousand dollars to get his hat shipped across Europe because he forgot it there. As much money and time as he spends helping the world, I can never take it seriously after I heard about that.
My dad
Makes that same argument:
“He’s rich so his his charity is bullshit”.
It doesn’t really make any sense.
by brettgardner on Jun 11, 2008 10:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Its more
that he spend 2 thousand dollars or so to ship a hat across Europe. That’s basically money he just threw away instead of donating it to charity or anything like that.
That only works
If you assume that money spent anywhere doesn’t help anybody except other rich people.
by brettgardner on Jun 11, 2008 10:55 PM CDT up reply actions
It gives business
and what not to some people and might be worth an extra dollar or two, but when we are talking about a guy who comes off as high and mighty about helping end world hunger and such, there were much better ways to invest that money.
I guess
But I’m pretty sure $2000 pales in comparison to the millions he’s brought in to Africa, especially.
by brettgardner on Jun 11, 2008 10:58 PM CDT up reply actions
Tell that
to the kids starving over there who could have used that 2000 dollars to eat for a year. Every dollar counts.
And just so we’re clear, I have no problem if he spends his cash on charities, drugs, and hookers. Its his money, he earned it, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. He pisses me off when he tries to pretend he is Mother Theresa or something.
I don't
Think he’s done that, but he’s certainly brought in hundreds of millions by his raising money and governmental lobbying.
I don’t think he has to live like a pauper to not be called a hypocrite.
by brettgardner on Jun 11, 2008 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions
Well are you giving up all your free dollars for Africa?
If not how can you criticize for that just because he’s got a shitload of extra money.
by Dirk Diggler on Jun 11, 2008 11:04 PM CDT up reply actions
I guess that last part
just flew by everyone. I could care less what he does with his money. Its how he comes out trying to look high and mighty and that he is better than Angelina Jolie or whatever. He has faults just like everyone else, and he is the world’s largest number 2.
I don't think he does that at all
But to each their own.
You dislike Bono and Metallica….
Just not a fan of successful musicians?
by Dirk Diggler on Jun 11, 2008 11:09 PM CDT up reply actions
No problem with successful musicians
Just don’t like the highly overrated ones that aren’t that good to begin with.

How anybody could listen to Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby and say that.

heh
to each their own. I just don’t get the criticism of a guy like Bono.
You’re allowed to be outlandish, celf-centered, rich, and generous at the same time.
by Dirk Diggler on Jun 11, 2008 11:12 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
but don’t go telling everyone how generous you are while at the same time literally stroking your ego for the whole world to see (take that in whichever way paints Bono in a worse light)
Well
We could just keep going back and forth, but I don’t think he’s doing that at all. You don’t like him, so you just come up with that strawman.
It’s fine. Don’t even know why we’re arguing about it.
by brettgardner on Jun 11, 2008 11:15 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah
I’m not even really a Bono fan, but if I’m going to criticize him, it won’t be for his charity efforts.
He’s earned all his money. He shoudln’t have to apologize for the fact that he can ship a hat across the world.
But at the same time, I don’t really care, so I can drop it.

This proves one thing
and one thing only. The Royals suck a lot harder than the Rangers. Where is the KC poster that pops around here from time to time? Scoreboard bitches.
Expecting Hurley to bomb tomorrow, hoping for the best…. Go Rangers.
Crap
The Rangers have never swept a series and we have Eric Hurley starting tomorrow against a Royals team that gave 2 games away and will be pissed and ready tomorrow
i dont care how mad they are
ill take the royals furious over 95% of the rest of the league as far as a matchup for hurley.
