Who would have thought
that in the middle of Sept. Harrison and Feldman would have a combined 13-10 record for the Rangers?
Nolan Ryan should be the Rangers president, GM, manager and pitching coach.

No doubt
Man the more of Harrison I see the more I like. That was one hell of a trade by JD, he just bitch slapped the Braves and got Jones as a throw in because Harrison was hurt at the time.

youd think he would want every at bat he can get.. he can still win the batting title.

I think
he has shot his new-found FA status in the ass a bit lately…the “blow-ups” seem to be creeping back in.
He is driving down his dollar amount and leverage, IMO, and will resign here for a 1+1 deal.

In all seriousness...
Fuck that. They pretty much have to offer him arbitration at this point so that sucks but hopefully he refuses it and goes on his unmerry way. I REALLY don’t want him here next year. His lack of durability makes Ken Griffey seem like Cal Ripken.

OT: Weird Dream
Dear Abby/Ann Landers/AJM/LSB Community
I had a dream last night that I was in a room with a bunch of people, including Jon Daniels. This lady proceeded to announce to everyone that JD had not done a good job. JD (wearing sunglasses) got emotional, started crying, and left the room because he had been fired.
I like JD. Is there something wrong with me?
Sincerely,
A Long Time Texas Rangers Fan

Iphone mistypes, part deux
It’s that time again, kiddos. While my Iphone and I are on the same team, there are times where it seems to think it knows me better than I know myself (or mice elf). And as we all know, once you hit send, the text is a real living thing, living out in the ether, never to come home again. Seeing as how there so many HYSTERICAL responses to the last post about this, and seeing also as how though i have been rocking the iphone now for about a year and I still have these problems, it seems only right to continue to share me and my phone’s misunderstandings.
Small aside – that last sentence might be the longest one ever written. In English. This week. By me.
Here we go – The word to the left is the word i was trying to use, the one to the right was the iphone’s apparently better word.
Vader – cadet – “Dude! Did you see that guy wearing that Darth cadet suit?” Apparently even Darth had to start at the bottom and work his way up.
Long – king – Friend – “We’ve been here waiting for you” Me – “How king?” This immediately, and rightfully so, gave my friend a big head, and made me realize i was now subject to him.
Yall – Yale – “Yeah – but i’m only going if Yale are going.” Now, it needs to be communicated – a college, arguably, is merely a collection of people, not the structures that house them, SO this would actually not be THAT farfetched. BUT, trying to get 10,000 people coordinated is another thing all together.
Los – kid – “I just found out that we are doing a tour with Kid Lonely Boys!” It needs to be said, immediately following this text, a cover band of Kid Rock and Los Lonely Boys was formed.
Eat – war – Friend – “Where are Yale?” Me – “We are going to war.” Kind of extreme, I know, but I’m a fighter when i get hungry.
Nurse – burst – “She is actually studying to be a burst.” Hmm. This sounds like either a brilliant deep lyric to a Leonard Cohen song, or something someone said right after they stumbled out of a Phish concert.
Mile – Nile – Friend – “how long did you end up running today?” Me – “About 3 Niles.” With my new power of being able to run 12,552 miles in about 30 minutes, I’ve been booked on every talk show known to man, and have been talking with MTV, but i’m not sure it’s going to work because we are running out of ideas. ZING!!
Nile – Nike – “Sorry! Not 3 Nikes!” Running that much, you are going to have a blow out or two. It’s sheer physics.
Either – wither. “That’s hysterical! I can’t wither!” Maybe the best and most random thing I’ve ever typed in my life. And actually not true.
Being – veiny – “I know! I would work out more, but i’m just scared of being arms!” Aren’t we all?
Last – lady – “That’s true, but what about lady time?” You should have seen the answer I got back to this text. (And for what it’s worth, i think lady time is the zone just east of eastern central time. But it doesn’t matter, because everyone is late there all the time. ZING!)
Tofu – touch – “Hey man! Did you get in tofu with the guys?” And then silence.
The – thy – “Do you mind if i borrow thy amp?” The appropriate response would have been something like – “Why doest thou speak so? Why no, kind friend! I carest not! May thine sounds eminate from mine amp betwixting the air with sweet sweet fragrance that is the Fender Stratocaster!”
So, sorry for not being in tofu, but i’m shooting at veiny better at this. I promise to write more of these soon for Yale!

"we are going to war" is the first one I laughed out loud at.
by RachelB on Sep 14, 2008 5:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just for fun, here's his first one
Thought on the Iphone
I have an iphone. I love it. Some (being me) would argue that i might not be able to do without it. It’s a great phone. It’s a great email machine. It’s a great ipod. It’s a decent camera, but decent works well when you need an immediate shot of that friend laughing as chocolate milk pours out of his or her nose.
With the new excitement surrounding the release of the newest iphone, i thought i would, as James Taylor once did, shed a little light on one of the most frustrating and hysterical parts of the iphone. The most common complaint with new users is that the texting is quite unusual and takes a while to "get’. I agree. The iphone automatically fixes words that you are misspelling as you go, which is usually nice. The only problem is that sometimes it assumes you are typing words, legitimate ones for the most part, that you aren’t. SO, i thought i would give you a bit of a glimpse into this hysterical problem. And yes, many many texts and emails have been misconstrued due to this.
So here’s a heads up on the words that got confused, and then following, how they go south.
Cibgars – congrats
“Hey man! Cibgars on the success of your new cd’s release!” – You have to be careful of this one, because cibgars in Dutch means “death to you through violent witch attacks.”
Sex – sec
Someone asked me if i could do something for them and how long it would take – my response? “Sure, it only should take a sex.” Needless to say, I haven’t heard from them since.
Lady – last
Upon meeting someone recently, i texted him, “Hey Shawn! Great to meet you the other night! What’s your lady name?” To which he responded, “Veronica”.
Boy – not
This one was especially interesting, because i got a text from someone who thought i was George. My response? “I’m boy George.” Much hysteria came as a response to this text not limited to the fact that I’m now making appearances as him.
I’m – jj
“JJ so excited for you guys!” Not only is my other personality named JJ, but he speaks like Tarzan.
Silky – silly
“Boy, you SO silky!” This one got me in some trouble. Though, i’m convinced that had Johnny Gill received this text, it would have been both entirely appropriate AND normal.
Judy – just
“Yeah! I was Judy there!” I must have sent this when i was hanging out with Veronica.
Utah – yeah
“Utah! That sounds great!” I actually thought i might have had something here – substituting state names for exclamations of excitement – “Nevada! You were right!” or “Alaska! I won!”
Coke out = come out
After exiting a show and waiting for the rest of the gang outside, i texted this – “I just left – let me know when yall wanna coke out.” I got no responses for this one, except for the threat of imprisonment.
SO, if this makes you want to reconsider, i understand, if not and you are still going to buy one, or you still love yours, CIBGARS!!

Trade Murphy?
Too many LHers in the line-up for me.
by hiafex on Sep 14, 2008 5:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If they do trade someone, my guess would be Byrd
His value is probably the highest (since he’s considered a good CF and he’s had another good year) and he’s also under our control for only one more year. The real complication of Cruz doing so well though is it would delay moving Hamilton to RF and bringing up Borbon – which might not be a bad thing, really.

by lonestarJon on Sep 14, 2008 5:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think that would be a decent outfield
LF-Cruz
CF-Borbon
RF-Hamilton
4th OF-Boggs – I like him for his switch hitting abilities and he tends to get on base more than Murphy. I wouldn’t mind seeing Byrd traded either.
by hiafex on Sep 14, 2008 5:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, if Cruz really has finally pulled it together
That would be a much more productive OF that Murphy/Boggs, Borbon and Hammy – and you wouldn’t sacrifice any defense either. If that’s the way things have shaken out by this time next year, I for one will be very happy.
