Good good
And in response to rcreative….I would consider posting my blogs here, but I like what Adam has going and I wouldn’t want to get in the way of that. My format is quite a bit different than what readers find here.

That's what I like about the SB Nation format
Anyone who writes something worthy can be put on the front-page thanks to fanposts. And by far you’d get the most exposure here.
Agreed
The format is very outsider friendly, but I still view this as AJM’s blog. But thank you for the suggestion.

RE: Photoshop
Adobe charges so much for Photoshop that it makes it extremely tough for enthusiasts and freelancers to afford the purchase of Photoshop.
You can also look into downloading GIMP. It’s an opensource competitor to Photoshop and while a little quirky if you’re used to Photoshop it can get the job done.
Thanks for the tip
I’ll have to look into that. And what Gdawg was alluding to. I love playing with photoshop.

You could probably still get it though..
by goign into a college bookstore. I’m not sure how much they check, especially if you go to one like UTA or something that would be more a commuter school.

Laird stays
I still believe we’ll end up trading Salty. Unfortunately, his value has decreased since this winter when we should have traded him.
i don't think it has
there has been plenty of reports suggesting that teams know it will take a log to get him.
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
I'm sure this has been discussed
but I’m too lazy to look elsewhere. Is most everyone outside of the local broadcast areas blacked out of this game?

Mendoza tonight
3 hits, a walk, and 3 ER in the first inning, 3 hits, a K, and an ER in the 4 innings after that. And people say he can’t pitch to a lineup more than once or twice.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

If he’s gonna stick with CJ through the season (and I’m still of the mindset that he should), he has to keep throwing him out there. That’s the only way to build his confidence again.

Usually, when a pitcher goes 7, allows 6 hits and 1 walk and doesn’t allow any homers, he allows less than 4 runs.

I vote that BaseballIsMyBoyfriend buys the Rangers.
Well
He’ll be facing the middle of the Jays order. And facing two righties in a row.
If he goes 1-2-3, Wilson will be facing 3 lefties in the top of hte 9th.

That's because it's impossible...
my guess is that RW could be thinking about anything from clowns to rainbows to oscillating fans right now.

It is now apparent...
...that Ron Washington is hitching his wagon to CJ. If he fails, the fault lies on Wash.
I vote that BaseballIsMyBoyfriend buys the Rangers.
Question
Would you rather have Wilson facing Scutaro, Rios and Overbay (R-R-L), and Francisco facing Lind, Stairs and Wilkerson (L-L-L)?
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 3, 2008 9:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Obviously
You’d want BGL facing Lind, Stairs and Wilkerson.
But would you agree that Wash has been CJ’s biggest defender, and it now appears that he will stick with CJ regardless of his performance, for all intents and purposes?
I vote that BaseballIsMyBoyfriend buys the Rangers.
I think at this point, he has to stick with CJ as closer
If we’re really about developing players, he needs to stick it out the rest of the season.

No
I don’t think that’s the case. I think, if C.J. continues to struggle, there’s a good chance Francisco takes over as closer.
by Adam J. Morris on Aug 3, 2008 9:27 PM CDT up reply actions
and in that
scenario, i would like Diamond to come up and pitch the 7th or 8th inning…
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
Then I don't know what CJ can do from here to warrant being yanked from the position.
I understand that he hasn’t “blown” a significant amount of saves, but can the Rangers really trust Wilson after his performance thus far this season?
I vote that BaseballIsMyBoyfriend buys the Rangers.
He has an ERA+ of 80.
Which is just 3 points better than Eric Hurley.
I’m not saying that CJ shouldn’t be the closer. There’s no doubt that he’s got some nasty stuff.
I’m simply saying that it is clear to me that Washington is sticking by CJ regardless of what he does, for all intents and purposes.
I vote that BaseballIsMyBoyfriend buys the Rangers.
im hoping eddie isnt pitching the 8th because hes the new closer
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
