Nah...

He’s just been arguing with us all night that Murph is a 4th OF.

Which he’s not.

Ian Kinsler has finally earned the right to be the third of my co-favorite players.

by utlonghorn24 on Aug 5, 2008 9:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Ok, let's put it this way

Murphy is not a starting corner OF on a playoff team.

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

I won’t hate him, but he’ll definitely get the cold shoulder for awhile. Women are good at that.

by blueballlefty on Aug 5, 2008 9:27 PM CDT   0 recs

strange that he didnt bring him in to face the lefties..

if we are going to use him aside from closing.

i certainly dont need to see CJ pitching to a-rod.

Rangers Expected Record (before tonight) with Average Pitching

64-49

At current rate of exceeding our expected record: 69-44

So, watching Matt Harrison, how long before we can have that? And that’s to say nothing of the defense, which affects that, is currently also well below average, and I have to believe is also soon to improve.

by philkid3 on Aug 5, 2008 9:28 PM CDT   0 recs

We all know we don't have average pitcing and would be a playoff team if we did.
