Also, because I like sharing random stories,

One of our local high school teams played in Principal Park on Sunday (home of the Iowa Cubs). The I-Cubs played the Omaha Royals that day, so our sports editor took some shots during that game too. He showed me one of a great I-Cubs slide into third base and my first reaction was, “Aww…Metcalf,” when I saw the former Ranger getting ready for the throw.

Question

Over at KSK, there’s been extended talk about how conflicted Vikings fans would be if the Vikings signed Brett Favre, since they’ve spent so long ridiculing and reviling him, and now all the sudden, they are supposed to support him.

Kind of like with the Cowboys signing Terrell Owens, only worse.

I was trying to figure out what the Rangers equivalent of the Vikings adding Favre would be.

Hiring Mike Scioscia, maybe?

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

I think the offense will come around

i dont think there is any doubt that his D has improved and that subsequently led to a drop in his offense imo

now he can focus a little more on the offense and i expect it to improve

Salty has looked better defensively than TT this year, Especially when it comes to blocking pitches. Salty has been remarkably good at blocking pitches… If you actually watch the game, and dont really your entire baseball knowledge on stats, you would see this

8:08: FYI, the Rangers PR department informs us that the last 12 homers all being consecutive homers ties the club record of 12. The streak of 12 was previously done in 1986. I don’t think we are going to find out who holds the major league record for this.
