You better continue...

to post “bleah” gameday thread ’til the Rangers lose.

It may just be the reason for the first sweep (3 games) of the season.

Sweep

Ever pressed the "shift" key 5 times real fast?

It does something … I don’t really understand what it’s asking me.

that it is saying that instead of having to hold those keys down in that sequence you can turn “Sticky Keys” on and press and release them one at a time

OT: Liverpool won their game to get into the champions league

so thats 40M bucks we dont have to worry about coming out of a rangers budget in the future.

Yup...

at least we signed Grella for center mid. We still need a right winger and right back during this transfer window though. There had been rumors of Joaquin for the right wing spot, but seems we aren’t willing to meet Valencia’s price tag.

He’d never had a cavity. Next time he went to the dentist, he had three. Something about spitting is good as far a tooth decay goes. Of course, it doesn’t do a lot for the gums.

Only Matty That'll Walk the Line...

If Matt Harrison gets 2.2 innings and the LSB Community uses the same standards (130 AB’s or 50 IP), then the next time the Rangers’ prospects are ranked here, Harrison will no longer qualify.

the game threads have taken a while to get going and slowly chug toward 2 threads. Far cry from while still being close to being in a race and getting 3 or 4 full threads.

Phillies Site

Was watching the Phils/Mets game last night and cruised over to the Phillies’ SBN site to see what they had to say about the game and could not believe the inactivity over there for a team battling for first. I’m sure they have another site that those fans go to but I couldn’t find it anywhere.
