Not really fast food...
But the best burger I have ever had is at Spanky’s here in Lubbock. The Bacon Swiss Burger is heaven on a bun, mix that with the cheese sticks and you can die a happy man.
Did you get the cheese sticks?

Yep
Nothing better than Spanky’s cheese sticks and a cup of ranch. I hear that the lady who opened Spanky’s owns a restaurant in the DFW that uses the same recipe for their cheese sticks. I have no idea if that’s true or not but it’d be great for Metroplexers to try them out.
she owns Double Nickle in Lubbock also
not sure about the DFW restaurant
Besides the burgers, Spankys Turkey and Swiss is the nuts
Did the one on University finally get torn down?

Nope
Still one of the most popular spots for students and residents alike and voted the best burger/local shop in the city almost annually. They’ve done some renovations in the past year, new flatscreen HDTV’s, they sealed off the upstairs and installed air conditioning, and best of all they now accept debit and credit instead of cash only.

Rain Delay
Anthony Andro FSWT says at least 30 minute delay to start game.
Yeah, thinking that will end up being at least an hour.

We got hit
With that system here this morning and it was pretty rough. Forced our summer camp indoors for the day and we only got hit with the edge of it. Hopefully Arlington doesn’t get the main cell.
Rain this b*tch out, I could live without of day of watching us get 2 hit by a spare.
I thought it be all warm and shitty, but it just tasted like normal beer. It was still cold.
My 13TicketAm thing is getting reallllllly scratchy...

With the way he's pitching now
Perez is going to end up arriving before him.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
"I am one of the biggest Texas Ranger fans out there but I'm also one of the smartest. Deal with it."
-The Outlaw
Probably
but I can see him moving up to Frisco by next season, barring more injuries. I think they put him on the same timeline as Feliz/Holland. Spend plenty of time at each level before moving into the pen. 2012 is probably about right. He really is going to have to find some consistency, though. This up/down crap that he is pulling has got to be frustrating for everyone watching him.

How is that the Holland schedule?
The guy shot from A ball to the Majors in a year…
That's pretty much the exact opposite of the Holland/Feliz timeline
outside of letting him work out of the bullpen.

You can disregard that statement. In fact, disregard everything I typed. I’m freakin’ tired, can’t focus and am stuck at work while a storm rages on outside my window. On top of all that, the Rangers aren’t going to get to play until about 9 because a lake has fallen on Arlington.
Let’s do this…Main won’t be here until ’11 at the earliest but likely ’12 barring further injuries.

Purke
seems underrated around here. I think a couple of the articles about his mechanics have over influenced the herd.
"He's old school in that he give up his groin like that. It hurt me when he do that" -- Worsh on Chris Davis' stretch at first base to end the game vs. the Angels on 5/16
I've read Trip's
and he says his arm action bothers him, however, I’ve read others who say it won’t be much of a problem.
So with that said, I am excited about him because of his high ceiling, but I’ll reserve my judgement after a couple of pro seasons.
yea, if anything, Purke is about as much upside as you can have in HS lefty
He’s not one of those kids who came out firing bullets in HS, but slowly built himself up to being a power pitcher, and still has room to grow. That usually bodes well for his arm. Also, I could see him continue to build off that and be a lefty who consistently throws in the mid 90’s, up from his 90-92 slot, and with his ability to spin a breaking pitch well, thats about as good as it gets in terms of high upside HS kids. He’s not a lock to develop like that, and the variables are always stacked against any draft pick, but if you wanna talk about prospects with the most upside in our system, he’ll be right behind Perez in my book and right there with Holland and Feliz, putting him somwhere in the 4th-6th in our prospect spectrum, should be right where Scheps goes

Take it up with BAD Radio
In case you don’t know, Tiny Elvis was a character on SNL (Nic Cage?)
I like it and I’m rolling with it until I hear something better.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
That SNL skit was funny.
BaD Radio not so much.
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
Acquired taste, Scoop and much better than
the competition. i like ’em, especially with the emergence of Donovan.

Donovan is good in the Yuck Monkey role

Was there even a reason they replaced the infield sod? Seemed kind of odd to replace it right before a stretch with so many home games.
Longer/thicker to slow down grounders,
was what CJ said.

I might feel differently if I had lived though the Loma Prieta quake in '89

His stuff is still very good.
The control lapses bother me, but the way he’s being handled right now bothers me and I think it’s hurting him long term.
Just as he starts getting comfortable as a starter (Phil Hughes over his last 3 starts: 18 innings, 21 k’s, 3 bb’s, 3.5 ERA, 0.94 WHIP) they jerk him back into the ‘pen and promptly don’t pitch him at all for like 8 days.

The idea is good
but you need interesting, insightful conversational personalities to make the concept work, and they are short on them, particularly on the insight part.

Mitch Williams and dan plesac are good
Al leiter is good. Larkin isn’t bad. If HR was less analyst and took the place of the douchey talking head role who doesn’t say much with a more analyst oriented dude it would be fine
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
Nope
Mitch Williams is terrible. Pleasc is bleh. Larkin is outside of personality and over his head. Leiter is alright, I’ll give that, but it’s not a good forum for him.

THey need like
4 actual analysts rather than 5 more former players. Former players are dumb.

Amen.
I almost lost it last night when they had Jim Callis and whoever the scouting guy was on the set during the draft and they kept letting Harold Reynolds talk and try to be clever. Jesus what a beating that fucktard is. Why people think we need former players and stupid little segments where they all act out things on fake little makeshift fields is beyond me.
The dumbening of society is never as apparent as it when watching sports broadcasting.
Or, well, okay, and the news. I was trying to watch CNN today and don’t even get me started on how stupid that shit has become. No, I do not want to hear what Cloris in fucking Indiana thinks about this via CNN’s Myspace page. Shut the fuck up and die, all of you.

The lamest thing about him yesterday was how he had all these definitive, verbose opinions on draftees you knew he had done jack shit of research on
Guys he prolly literally (and I mean literally in the literal, non-asanine sense, Sobchak) hadn’t even heard of 2 hours prior.
And yet, he bloviated incessantly on what to the newcomer would seem like very detailed, semi-firsthand “observations.”

Heh
No doubt eerily similar to Harold’s response if he stooped to address my haughty beef.

The only thing good about Reynolds
is watching him talking over the other analysts and trying to decide who will be the one to pop him in the mouth.

The channel needs more Rex Hudler
Imagine a show with Harold Reynolds, Rex Hudler and then like Lenny Dykstra. That has the makings of a great show

I was getting shelled by the storm in Graham a couple of hours ago, now it’s very nice outside.
it feels really good
in Arlington it’s just still raining, it’s really cool outside though, it’s enjoyable

closer to 9:30
Conditions were good enough around 8:30 but it takes forever to redo the field and all the players to get lose again
Peter Gammons
someone should take him out back and end it before it gets too awkward for everyone.

that is interesting
about the Red Sox letting their top pick from last year play SS the rest of the year to save his arm.

if their top pick pitching prospect gets hurt dicking around playing SS and hitting, they won’t look so genius

I will laugh
if he ends up getting a torn hamstring while playing in the field.

torn hamstring ... OK
torn rotator cuff… end of prospect status

That'd be mean
and difficult to do as a SS. But ironic, nonetheless.

He's been pretty bad for a while now.
He says some things that just make me cringe.
Talking about the Strasburg pick and the money he’s gonna get Gammons went on a nonsensical bitter old man “Back in the good old days” rant that made me think his body had been taken over by Joe Morgan’s brain.
