And I don’t know what the fuck kind of drugstore romance novels you read, but it involves lots of vampires and supernatural shit. Yes, most vampire-related fiction is heavily romance influenced, but don’t reduce a good TV show into something petty and stupid like a romance novel.

the problem with Amy is that everybody knew someone like that in whatever college town they lived in. Man, she was a beating. With a great rack.

Lafayette was/is such a great part of that show. He’s the best comic relief by far, so if they decide to kill him off for some reason, I’m pretty sure the show is going to go downhill.

Come on. He’s a 23 year old who has been hitting over his last 10 games.

The difference between him and Blalock at 1B (because Blalock would play there, not Jones, if you sent Davis down) is probably 20-30 runs over a full season.

That’s not insignificant. And it isn’t as if Blalock has been lighting it up with the bat, anyway.

Jones is not a first baseman.

He’s also been in a deep slump for over month, FYI.

Emotionally invested to a fault maybe, but its not a fault other Ranger fans should take offense to imo.
Getting too happy after a 3 game winning streak is the exact same thing in reverse, noone complains about that.

I don’t care when the stars sucks, and its not because I suddenly become a more reasonable person.

This.

Name me a game reaction thread with thousands of posts a night that is way better.

And report the guy with the gun to your head making you post on the game day threads.

And the racism. Which did actually only start being an issue recently.

I’m not saying “this team is a joke” is bad. I’m talking about the stuff like

ok i’ve had enough
lets get this piece of shit hitter Davis out of here

and

it’s over we lost

wah wah wah let the crying ass bitches bitch

(and dammit why isn’t my troll script working anymore???)

A serious persecution complex for some reason.

Brett too, in the resulting argument.

she is saying that the replies to her own personal posts have been aggressive.

I know I am saying that the specific posts of the type I quoted above, and the racism that keeps popping up, are starting to outweigh the fun parts of the GDT.

I just want to pinch yo’ cheeks.

That’s possibly the worst suggestion I’ve heard all night.

let TT catch more than salty

They think he’ll get on track faster in the big leagues. This has been addressed at some length of late.

And yet, he’s still sitting there with an OBP below .300.

I don’t have a ton of confidence that Blalock is going to hit significantly better the rest of the way than Davis.

Particularly against lefties, given that Blalock is already playing every day against righthanders.

Which makes the Blalock argument such a red herring…you act like Davis is forcing Blalock to sit, but Blalock is playing against every righthander. He sits against lefties, who he has been terrible against this year, and has been terrible against his whole career.

The argument for sitting Davis is that Andruw Jones is better than him against RHPs.

So you simply jump on him any chance you’re given.

With that pricetag, I would wonder if he might even be a bit cheaper prospect-wise if we where willing to absorb the contract. But we really can’t.

Nick Johnson still looks like the most realistic target as far as price and how willing the Nats might be to move him goes.

who is purely a DH as a plus.

The slots it looks like the Rangers need the most offensive help is OF, 1B and C. It would be a plus if we got someone who could man one of those positions while Hamilton gets healthy, or we send someone down to the minors to work out problems.

Blalock is hitting righties pretty well at DH, and its an open question whether April was just a fluke for AJ or if he can bring some production for the other side of the platoon, but DH really isn’t our big problem.
