1B leaves a sore taste in my mouth

So, i know this might be beating a dead drum but it is killing me what we have over at 1st.  Cat is, well he is Cat.  You know what you are going to get.  270s 50 or so RBIs but nothing special and doesnt add the POWER bat that you would want following MB or JH.  And dont even talk about big red.  Im about as fed up with his lack of hitting, especially when it matters, than I am with the 1980s drink Big Red.  Shelton has had chance after chance to prove that he can do something on this team and has continued to fail.  At least Botts could play defense and left the stupid mental erros at home.  (He couldnt hit a big leauge pitcher, but neither can shelton, and he is not near as ugly).  And finally our last candidate for 1B, Hank Blaylock.  Man i love Hank the Tank, but this is getting a little ridiculous.  I know we have areas that we are struggling in, (ie the MOUND, mainly the pen) but 1B is by far our weakest position.  My main question is why hasnt Chris Davis gotten any chance up here?  I know the kid is young, but man he is knocking the mess out of the ball up in OK.  Its just a thought but i am just getting tired of 1B being such a joke on this team. 

We will get this silver boot back in Arlington!!  GO RANGERS!!!!

Probably because

they want to try to dump Cat’s contract on someone else rather than eat it.

I think Hank Blalock is going to 1B because Ramon Vazquez is one of the biggest offensive forces on this years team. He appears to be this year’s GMJ/Derosa/Dellucci career scrub who blossoms inexplicably.

I'm guessing

(hoping) he means sour.

Some people have that

Brain disorder wherein senses become crossed, so that music has a color, touch has a smell, etc. I suppose pain could have a taste then.

I wish I could remember the name of it, or at least that I had enough desire to spend a few seconds looking it up.

I think LSD can do that too...

... maybe LSB on LSD is the best way to enjoy this Rangers team.
