but ours just might go the same way

Thomas Diamond please

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

Pitching with that bone spur too

At this point, I think he should have just had the surgery.

yea, after 3 innings

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

by Longhorn on Aug 5, 2008 10:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

so, no, he's not pitching like crap

in the role we’d use him at the majors.

Well CJ, think of it this way...

You now might have PLENTY of time to work on your website, myspace page and practice for Guitar Hero 3.

Cause I don’t think youll be pitching at RBIA anytime soon.

move hunter or mendoza to the bullpen.

could probably come in from the pen like Zumaya throwing heat for a while

The same thought crossed my mind yesterday. If we somehow are in the hunt in September, you know it’s going to happen.

That would be crazy

Feliz is getting close to being done for the year. They’ve been regulating his pitch counts in Frisco lately (I think anyway) – there’s no way they call him up even if it is to put him in the bullpen. That would be an Edinson Volquez move.

Just saw the slam

to Suxson. My God what an epic fail. CJ is past bad. You almost have to feel sorry for the guy.

wouldn’t he have to run to 1st still?

CJ

it’s a shame what’s happening to him. He obviously has great stuff and the team could use him.

He chose a bad time to act like a child, though.

so that Stuart Scott could sport some wood yelling “Booyah” and all his other stupid catch phrases.

Yep

I don’t see why people get so hung up on whether ESPN is showing enough Ranger stuff.

The team has sucked for the past 10 years, and isn’t really in a race right now. Why wouldn’t you expect them to be ignored?
