...then he should be fired.

as i said above, it was my first (and probably only) Rangers game this year, but Ramirez, Salty, and Duran sure didn’t make much of an impression. They could all be big league hitters in due time, but yesterday The Magic Wandy made them look pathetic.

and kick Milly in the balls with it for screwing him out of 11 million this year.

pretty huh?

...it’s been a while.

You are exaggerating, but even so, in case you hadn’t noticed, that street runs both ways…

He’ll love agreeing with you.

If we use the full MLE on Diop, we’re screwed. That would be a 3x salary increase for him. I doubt it happens.

I don’t completely hate the pick. We didn’t have that many future picks to deal (thanks, Kidd) and I like getting a younger shooter in here and not having to rely on a George or some other over-the-hill spare. I have to think more moves are coming. We can’t go into the season with the current roster and expect to win anything.

how did we not trade up to get Chris Douglas Roberts at 40? Insane.

The way picks were being sold, I want to know where Dallas was when New Orleans was selling that pick, or for that matter, where they were when San Antonio and Memphis were picking late in the first round as well. If they had just bought one of those 3 picks, they could’ve had their choice of a guy like Chalmers or CDR. That would be money much bette rspent than on someone like Deavan George.

Just reading the scouting report, he’s supposed to be a great outside shooter but struggles getting to the basket or the free throw line. How many current Mavs fit into that description? Not that he’ll ever even sniff the roster but looks like we’re in store for another season of ‘jump-shot basketball.’

about him clogging anything up. He’ll be back on the DL in no time… wait and see.

in regards to Blalock. Why is it a forgone conclusion (apparently in Wash’s head) that when Hank returns he’s going to automatically go to 1B? Davis is here so we might as well see what he can do this is obviously a .500 team so there’s really no reason to send him back. Put Hank back at 3B and move Vazquez back to the bench roll he originally was signed for.

and I think there’s a lot of needless hand wringing about davis getting sent down because hank ain’t never coming back

It seems like Vasquez and Blalock can share 3b and let Duran spell SS and 2b. I think we can deal or bench Cat and let Davis and Max share 1b from here on out.

for like 2 months now.

Over his last 7 days he is .294/.350/.529. He will probably come down to earth before Hank is healthy, but thats like in 2010 at the rate its going.

I’m not sure I bench the 30 year old never was on a hot streak for a brittle 27 year old 3B has been who hasn’t had a good season since 2004. I might take my chances on lightning in a bottle until he goes cold.

I hate to say this, but screw Blalock. And screw his trade value. I’m going to take the same position on this I did with Salty vs. Laird – Blalock is just in the way now, and needs to be dumped. His trade value is not going to increase any by playing him full-time for two weeks before the trade deadline, and there’s absoultely no reason why he should be playing first base over Davis after the deadline.

Sorry Hank, but you’re the weakest link.

But I was wondering what are the weaknesses of this guy Foster? The way Donnie was talking about him, it seems as if he expects him to be a contributor already. And he seems to have decent size to go along with a good shot and being named SEC Player of the Year.

Always a key factor in the mood of the masses while posting. I know how much more I enjoy checking the box scores and standings after a win than after a loss.

There simply isn’t an alighnment out there that could realistically be done that gets the Rangers in the Central.

...Kevin Millwood supposedly owns Minute Maid Park…

...alas, there was no such “owning” yesterday…

or maybe Vasquez has Mark DeRosa syndrome…Rejuvenated!
