5 of 6 day games.....
what does it take to get a nice string of 7:05’s to start the season. A nice run of games that all fans can watch and kind of get everyone into the season.

Day games
Well, they open with a three game series at home and then go to Detroit. The home opener is always a day game and the “get-away” game before a road-trip often is as well (especially early in the season). Playing in Detroit in early April, a day game is usually preferable to a night game. As I recall, Detroit favors home games during the day (seem to have a lot of them).
No west coast until May 4th (@ Seattle)
The April 28th game (and three game series) against Oakland is in Arlington.
Individual game tickets don't go on sale until March. :(

I woke up from my narcotic-induced sleep this morning...
Having just dreamt that there was a huge LSB headline stating, “Sheets Signed.”
It was kind of like that halfway between awake and asleep point, so I of course got online post haste to figure out with whom he had signed.
my baseball dream from last night
I was watching an April regular season baseball game where we were going up against Milwaukee and the pitcher was terrible but the score was only 6-3 (Rangers) because they could only manage to get singles. The announcers keep saying we should have put the Brewers away but the Rangers are really struggling and will probably blow the game.
So now it’s the third inning and we load the bases on singles when, D’Angelo Jimenez singles kind of softly up the middle. When the ball gets thrown back to the infield, two Rangers are on second base but the Brewers keep dropping the ball trying to throw the ball to the shortstop to tag them out. After what seems like 4 more of these throwing errors, everybody ends up scoring.
The announcers keep saying, this is isn’t a Grand Slam but an “Equaliter” with the word “Equaliter” flashing in white on the TV screen. I hit snooze just so I could watch the replay.
Woke up kind of happy.
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
Word, AJM.
To make matters worse, I seem to have lost the memory card to my PS2 somehow… and playing MLB ‘08 the show is kind of pointless if I can’t use my heavily customized rosters or access my current season. So my precious digital baseball fix is kaput until I decide to go out and buy a new memory card and spend three days customizing my rosters.
At least “Bones” and Supernatural are on tonight. Although there’s no way tonight’s Bones will be as good as last weeks.

Had his own trading card and I vaguely remember him in a car dealership commercial at the height of his popularity.

The Rangers had him in a commercial
Back in 1996, I think. They paired him up with a 8 or 9 year old girl named Molly Palmison. She asked him if Ketchup was a vegetable. They had a series of commercials with Molly that year.
Anybody else remember that?

Depends on how you look at it, I guess. But yeah that’s not bad money, even though I suspect those guys probably put in an average of around 5 hours per game.

I would
usually show up for work about 5:00 for a 7:05 game and get out between 11-12, depending on the game, that was valet though and we were among the last to leave.
"A hot dog at the ball game beats roast beef at the Ritz"- Humphrey Bogart
Id say the vendors are probably around that timeframe
Maybe an hour earlier than yall. But they definitely have to be there early. For one to get their stock together and also for the early arrivers. Usually the vendors stop selling about the 7th inning or so so by the time they get back and clean up whatever it is they have to they are out about the time the game is over.

Most likely its Sheets, as I still do not see Boston caving….it makes them look like they gave in.
However if we add say Sheets on a 2 year with team option deal and a couple of bullpen arms (Gurdado/Foulke for example) on 1 year deals and call it a an offseason….I would be a very happy man.

Ive been hoping for a boston deal all offseason, but I feel its more likely to happen now than I did at any point prior.
Everything out of Boston, including quotes from Theo himself, sounds like they are going to get a young catcher before the season starts rather than wait another year.

Sheets signs on Monday,
the infamous Boston trade goes down on Wed. A reliever signs on Thursday. BMac has rotator cuff surgery on Friday. How is that for an eventful week?

That's fine
a collective woot is good once in a while since we so rarely have something to celebrate at the major league level.

Also signing comes tomorrow, with ben sheets waiting on JD out on the runway.

I honestly don't believe the Wash story
Hick’s got a phone. Just call up JD and say, “He’s done, get him out of here and start the search.” Hicks does not need to be there to fire a manager
Is it Spring Training Yet?
stop it

People don't understand the magnitude of this signing. Sheets would be the best opening day starter since the early 90s.
...Snoop Doggy-Dogg... Ya need to get yourself a jobby-job.
He would be the best pitcher I have ever had the privilege of watching in a Rangers uniform.
Because I have no memories of those guys in the early 90s

I saw Kevin Brown start a game. He had the largest Adam's Apple I had ever seen.

You know what would make this offseason better?
More of the top 50 Rangers of all time.
It’s killing me to see how far into the list we go until we get a legitimate star player.
Get off my lawn.
Where do you see Michael Young in this picture?

Easily top 20
probably top 10.
Once you get past Arod, Pudge, Juan, Raffy and the other stars of the late 90s, this franchise has been fairly weak. Not a whole lot of MVPs and Cy Young winners. Its basicly ARod, Burroughs, Pudge and Juan, right? Guys who are multitime all-stars like Young likely have to end up in the top 10 for this franchise, I’d think. 1 Big year like MY had in ’05 probably guarantees top 20 with this franchise.
Get off my lawn.
Yeah...
I think MY could easily be in the 6-8 range if I had a list.
