PrintI miss the good ol'days on the ESPN board. Keeping up with how many posts we had vs the other teams boards. Looking for "GOTD's" on the other boards. Suffering through attacks from iditos on the Mariner board.
3 Kids, a different occupation and more responsibilities elsewhere, have left me checking the site daily but not posting much.
But here are a quick hits.
Short term
1. Jon Freaking Daniels is screwing up in a major way giving up on Nelson Cruz/Chris Davis. One of these guys, if not both will hit 40 HRs in a MLB season, but it will not be for the Rangers. Andruw Jones? You have to be kidding me! It sounds like Hicks might be pulling for a name that will sell a few more jerseys. IDIOT!
2. The starters will be better than expected, the bullpen will be our problem, especially the closing spot.
3. Holland will exceed expectations.
4. Elvis Adrus will be sent down for struggling at the plate.
Long term
We need an owner who is willing to at least spend at least $80 million. Is Cuban still looking to buy a team? I am not kidding. He would be better than what we have. No matter how good our farm system is, if we cannot keep veterans or add some pieces to get us over a hump it is all for not.

Loved Christina Applegate growing up
Keith Law on Greg Golson, "He's similiar to Cameron and Hunter in that all three are black."
Uh, actually Daniels is the one who's NOT giving up on CD.
Daniels is also expressing patience with first baseman Chris Davis, who is hitting .245 with two home runs and four RBIs in 53 at-bats.
“He’s 23 years old, he’s our guy and we’re committed to him,” Daniels said. “As long as the work and the commitment stays at the level he’s established, the rest will take care of itself.”
She was a grand old lady...
you turned
what should have been a comment in Miles’ fanpost into a fanpost of your very own. You are special in that Barack Obama bowling kind of way….
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain.

awesome AD reference
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Doesn't feel right without the music
Although the quick shot of the dog lying on the doghouse is one of my favorite AD throw-away sight gags.
Are people competing
to see who is the crappiest poster?

Never mind, though.

It's just that I don't like to reply to a lot of things that are said on the board.
There’s a lot of junk that gets put here on LSB by the non-regulars, so instead of arguing with them, I think I should liven up the board with a few Rangers gifs. So sue me. But granted, I do need some new ones. I’m sure next season I’ll have plenty of opportunities to make light of our club’s pitching, since that’s what most of mine are based on.

ESPN boardies unite
Those were the days. Of what I dunno,
I remember AJM saying his memory of me on those boards was posting raving rants about Juan Gonzalez at 2AM..
