I'm still glad they didn't DFA him

Like others wanted to do.

Same

The way BGL spoke of his new arm angle, I was a believer.

I used to be on that bandwagon during last season

but after the season, if you looked at what he’s done throughout his pro career, it made me take a few steps back to become a supporter.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I was an early adopter

I was harping about the new arm angle & additional movement early in the season. Sigh, nobody takes me seriously….well, I don’t act it too often around here :-)

Per Evan Grant

Rangers think Salty will be okay. So probably no move for a catcher for tomorrow.

Heh

Ever read the DMN blog? It’s Salty-bashing central.

No, it isn't

And you think anyone who isn’t already thinking about what his HOF plaque will say is Salty bashing.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 5, 2008 8:18 PM CDT up reply actions  

No, I don't

And try reading the comments over there. The posters pretty much hate Salty, and Evan plays into it by keeping us all updated on his failings.

I don't read the comments

But I think the idea that Evan Grant is anti-Saltalamacchia, or wants him to fail or get hurt, is silly.

Who release him to sign with the Cubs who release him to sign again with the Yanks? Greatness!

How funny would that have been

as a prank he gets voted in as a Ranger?

You mean...

kind of like with the NHL a couple seasons ago where a bunch of people tried to vote Rory Fitzpatrick into the all star game as a joke from the Vancouver Canucks even though he was among the worst defensemen in the league? He nearly got in too, sat in the top 2 in voting for a long time until the last week or two.

From what I've heard...

critics hated it, but as long as you don’t go into it with high expectations and instead go to just enjoy it, it’s an enjoyable movie.

I was planning to go see it tomorrow I think
