I just can't watch the games and care
If the Rangers had made it, I wouldn’t miss one. But I have to hear enough from the Angels and Dodgers fans around here. And Lakers just started yesterday, too. Ugh.
Yeah, I don't have any favorites this year
I’d just as soon the Yankees get their inevitable WS since they had the best regular season record.

I would rather the Yankees lose again
That way they will waste another $100 million in the offseason signing players the Rangers aren’t going to pay for either way.
I'd like to see Yankees-Dodgers
I’d like to see Torre and ManRam stick it to the Yanks, plus I’d love seeing Padz pitch a gem in the WS.

Ranger fans should remember how they feel right now
and not let ownership try to get away with trying to add the 2010 version of Brad Fullmer, Richard Hidalgo, Pedro Astacio, Phil Nevin, The Sosa, a 40 year old Kenny Lofton or Andruw Jones to a team that could have a very bright future with the right pieces added.

I don't really have a problem with signing a low risk hitter
unless he takes playing time away from young players…which Wash might let happen…ok, fair enough.

And the proof of that is.......?
Few teams gave more AB’s or IP’s to rookies and 2nd year players than the Rangers did this year.
Where you not here for the last week of the season when Wash was literally making up excuses not to play Borbon in CF?
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Poor example, IMO
I was here and Borbon was in the lineup most of those games, just not in CF. Apparently the team felt they had a better chance to win with Byrd in CF than with Borbon, and from what I’ve seen of his defensive play so far, I don’t disagree with that. Borbon did play CF in the M’s series to end the season.
Better chance to win? Win what? "Second place"?
The season was long gone by the time Wash said that, and he still acted like the devil was going to rise if he plugged Borbon into CF. Three games to close out the year in Seattle is a freaking token gesture. He put an injured Marlon Byrd out in CF ahead of Borbon for christs sake.
There was absolutely no excuse for not starting Borbon in CF everyday for the last week of the season, if not the last two weeks, other than the manager didn’t want to displace his precious Marlon Byrd, who’s not that great a CFer in his own right.

The Rangers were in Anaheim prior to Seattle
and wanted to fare as well as possible there, plus they weren’r officially eliminated when they got there and still had a shot at 90 wins even after they were eliminated. But to say their was no excuse for Borbon not playing CF is an asinine comment considering he was in the lineup anyway.
No, it's not.
Borbon got shafted by the managers preconceptions of his defense in CF. Yeah, he’s rough out there right now, and yeah some in the org apparently think he doesn’t have the arm to play there. But how the hell is he supposed to get any better (or show an actual inability to play there) if he’s not allowed to play the position?
With Marlon Byrd up for FA this winter, there was a definite need to get Borbon serious time out in CF this September and find out more about his ability to hald down the position. It should’ve been a much bigger priority than it was, and if it had been maybe we wouldn’t have to deal with half of this speculation over whether we need Byrd back because we’re not sure if Borbon can hold the position down.
The decision not to play him out there was stupid and short-sighted, and that should reflect not only on Wash, but on the higher-ups in the org who let him get away with playing his little game of favorites.

Why do you think that washington is the only one who isn't impressed by Borbon's
current defensive abilities? With the talk of the organization wanting to re-sign Byrd, it looks like there’s more people in the organization than Washington that thinks Borbon’s defensive skills are still pretty raw. If you’re arguing that an extra 3 or 4 games was going to turn Borbon into a CF’er, that seems like a pretty thin argument to me. From what I saw of Borbon’s defense this year, I think he needs more work than that to be a major league CF’er. I saw him take some bad routes on balls (ie, on the double by Wilson in Seattle and he also took a circuitous route on a bloop that dropped in front of him for a basehit) and it’s also pretty obvious that he doesn’t have a very good arm.
So, instead of accusing the organization of being stupid and short-sighted, I think that onus rests with anyone on an interbnet forum making a fuss over Borbon not moving from LF 2 or 3 games sooner than he did. To continue this discussion is silly considering that Borbon was already getting his AB’s, which was where he currently added value to the team.
This is exactly why he should've been out there
I’m not arguing that more games in CF this year was going to instantly turn him into a plus defender, but seeing him in 12 or 14 games out there instead of a measly 3 sure would’ve helped give us more of a read on whether or not he might be ready to start there next year and what areas he needs to work on.
This team was pretty much eliminated from the race when we lost that last series at home against the Angels and where 8 back on Sept 20th. That’s two weeks Borbon could’ve gotten in at the position without realistically hurting our “playoff chances”.
Even if you want to back up Wash’s rediculous argument that putting Borbon out there would’ve caused irreparable damage to the team defensively before we had a “x” by our names, it’s worth noting that Byrd had a poor year defensively in CF himself (minus almost 8 runs in UZR/150). So all Byrd really was is the lesser of two evils.
Again, this is the guy we’re supposedly going to count on to play CF for us on a contending team in 2010. How in the heck can we do that if we wouldn’t even let him cut his teeth while we where dead in the water in 2009?

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.
So, I'm going to the Rockies game on Saturday -
high of 34 degrees and a low of 27. That’s some baseball weather right there.

I don't know if it's been talked about today...
but we got our ESPN Magazine today and it’s The Body Issue. Kind of interesting, they have one pic of a woman with one leg. Anyways, my wife actually looked through it before I did and was showing me the woman with one leg and guess who I noticed on the page across from her…..
….
NELSON CRUZ!?!?! So odd. He’s holding a bat and is sweaty (most of the athletes are). There’s a quote from Michael Young: “Nelly goes about 6’3” 230 lbs and is country-strong. We were in the weight room one day, and some guys were benching 315 lbs. Nelly walks in and says, “Let me hop in.” And he just starts pushing up 315 right away. Without stretching. As a warmup set. That’s just not what normal people do."
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
I'm going to make this a fanpost so...
..so everyone can yell at me about how it should have been a fanshot.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?

wow that's quite impressive...
if he’s doing 315 for reps. he can probably max out at close to 400 lbs. which is a LOT of weight on a bench press.
