Greatness.

Guess I'll have to leave the blog, then.

Never thought it would come to this.

The report I see

says there’s a three way deal between the Jays, Mariners, and Phillies, but Halladay is the only definite name in there.

Ahh Fergie

There is something about her…

Says

the Phillies would get Halladay (with a contract extension) AND two prospects from the Mariners, while sending two other prospects to the Jays. The Mariners would also send a prospect to the Jays, but get Lee.

It’s not finalized yet though…

Maybe he'd want to come here

because of our apparently outstanding medical staff…

by MikeEl on Dec 14, 2009 4:46 PM CST up reply actions  

Because

At 67, if he can still throw without “falling and can’t get up”, he’d have the second best stuff on the current Ranger staff behind Happy. And maybe a healthy Harden. He was that good.

Unless the Rangers are bringing him in to see if that's the case, then it does not matter

or have any relevance to being able to read this blog because you do or do not know him.

by Mike E on Dec 14, 2009 4:45 PM CST up reply actions  

I think the point was that, Fergie is kind of one of the most famous Rangers of all time

And this is a blog read by the biggest Rangers fans alive. So if you haven’t heard of him, it raises a question as to how big of a Rangers fan you are.

I remember as a young child

I’d walk across the street to Nick’s baseball card shop. I never used the little 25 cent bubble gum dispenser-type machine they had; one day, i decided to give it a shot. and among some of the most worthless baseball cards of players I’d never heard of before, was a Ferguson Jenkins rookie card.

the value at that time: $150.00

I’m sure it’s gone down since then (that’s strange…), because last I checked it was only worth $40.00, but that’s still a great return on a 25 cent investment.
