Isn't the definition of insanity

doing something the same way, expecting a different result?

by awillis111 on Aug 19, 2008 6:16 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i don't think that quite applies to this.

3-2 is a very basic score. it will be achieved eventually. i mean, it’s not as common as 5-4 but probably more common than 11-8 (maybe not, considering these ARE the rangers).

i like einstein. read a biography on him earlier this year. not digging that quote in rangers circles. we could apply that definition of insanity to the rangers management i’m sure.

I hope Galarraga gets lit up like a Christmas tree

because I am not looking forward to the vitriol that will be spewing in the GDT if he shuts us down.

Tough to get an accurate gauge on the weather

There’s a stationary line forming near the Weatherford area that could eventually impact tonight’s proceedings. If I had to guess, they’ll get this in – but a rain delay wouldn’t shock me.

Newberg
Ian Kinsler saw surgical oncologist John Preskitt, M.D., today and the news
was good, relatively speaking. Reports indicate that Kinsler’s sports
hernia is on the mild end, with no torn muscles or ligaments but instead
“just” an inflammation of the abdominal wall, and it’s not a lock that his
season is over. Doctors will reevaluate the injury in two weeks before
deciding if surgery will be necessary.
