the bad news is ...

the Ranger pitching staff is a mess.

The good news is we get to face Whiffy .226 3hr 16 rbi .659 ops and
Menchy 4 for his last 25 ... the next 3 games.

There is no status, except for me. Because I am who I am.

Once we get Hurley and Millwood and BMac back we aren’t gonna have any room for him unless you want him blocking a young guy.

I think it's safe to say that this never happened

to a rookie in the history of his 1st inning.

by Coolbean04 on Aug 1, 2008 7:14 PM CDT   0 recs

What sucks is Hunter's pitch count is

going up when he should’ve been out of it.

i think7 extra pitches…

I know a couple Jays fans.

They’re pretty laid back and realistic, I’ve found. I guess playing in the AL East where your chances of being a big story is probably pretty slim.

That, and they’re Canadians. I like Canadians. They’re polite.
