he was a biased SOB

but I’ll miss him anyway, in the same way I found myself missing Madden this year.

What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.

He’s only a couple years older than my dad, but he looks at least 15 years older than him.

Yeah, Boston biased or not, he's a living legend when it comes to baseball media

I’m interested to see what “new endeavors” he’s pursuing. What a coup it would be if he hitched on with some “new media” or saber-centric outfit.

Jon Heyman

force of habit for him to throw the Rangers in the mix for FA pitchers. I don’t see there being any way the Rangers have 1/10th the funds to sign Lackey especially since he’ll want a long-term deal.

and I'm completely fine with the lack of funds in this case

it’s reminiscent of the Zito sweepstakes, he’s on his way down and won’t be worth the contract.

Suprise

In a surprise move, the Australian National Rugby team has agreed to terms on a three way deal with the Chicago Cubs and the Cuban National Baseball team. The Cubs give up Milton Bradley, who goes to Australia, the Aussies send some awesome barbecue to the Cubans, who send several boxes of quality cigars to Chicago. Lou Pinella was quoted to say, “We’ll miss Milton’s presence in the locker room, but it was just too good of a deal to pass on. After all, Cuban cigars? These things are awesome!!!!!” as he lights one up. An unidentified source has stated that Cuba was severely hosed on the deal, as “Memphis barbecue is so much better than that crap they serve in Austrailia” and hinted that another deal may be in the works with regards to several cases of KC masterpiece.

The Australian insight:

Our barbecues are nothing special. Really. There’s just a shitload of it, they taste relatively good and you’ll feel full afterwards, but they lack awesomeness.

Im gonna assume that means Feliz OR Smoak

Which to be honest i wouldn’t be that upset about

by bigsteve on Dec 8, 2009 4:20 PM CST up reply actions  

Abaseball official swears this happened recently. The Rangers, the official insists, offered right-hander Neftali Feliz and first baseman Justin Smoak to Florida for right-hander Josh Johnson. The top two Rangers prospects, arguably, for a young, arbitration-eligible All-Star. The official thought the Rangers should have offered more, but also said that the Feliz-Smoak offer tells him that the Rangers think they can win the next two seasons.

I don’t care if I have Babe Ruth in his prime. if you are gonna give me a top 10-15 prospect in all of baseball for someone else I will take it and use that to improve another area of my team.

Is Josh Johnson the guy we would want to trade Feliz AND Smoak for?

Is that top value? Don’t get me wrong, but I feel like we could find a much better deal for that

you can center a deal around one of them and then use our depth to offer more

Why did the Rangers official have to "insist" the offer was made?

Because someone called bullshit when it was first claimed.

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.

That'd be awesome

“Hey Bob, we’re letting you go; it isn’t just that we planted the Feliz/Smoak for Johnson rumor specifically to see if you’d spill it, but also because we wanted to know if you were actually so oblivious to what this organization has been doing the past four years that you’d think it was true.”
