wasn’t in the lineup or didn’t PH for Jones in the 9th. This team has 3 decent hitters in Kinsler, MY, and Cruz. The offense is struggling, so has Cruz, but you don’t take away one of the few good bats you have.

It blows my mind.

the margin of error for us to compete this season isn’t wide enough to not do something.

hearing how TAG is amazed at another FB out. The only team that flies out more than the Rangers are the Red Sox. And the difference is only 0.2%.

they aren’t playing the game, i’m tired of the offense..

……..I’m also tired of hearing about how “unlucky” the Rangers hitters have been. “Nothing has fallen in”. Much like whining about umpires, that stuff is the battle cry of losers.

hhmmmm-wonder why?? Something missing, perhaps?

The Rangers weren’t supposed to compete this year next year was the year and this is what all of us here were looking toward. Now it seems they got here a year early and we think they should be world beaters this year. Come on they are young and they are going through growing pains learning how to win. We all have lost sight of this.

This is the exact reason i enjoyed our hot start so much, and soaked every second of it.

its simple facts, we started off against a weak early schedule, angels got rampaged by injury. A’s rotations arms all fell off. We were in a good spot to start off hot. We did.

Now we are back to facing the reality of what this teams weaknesses are and developing our youth slowly. No sense in panic and i think we all knew what we are when we were kicking ass.

and plays the game the right way, how can you hate that?
Im going to twitter all my followers about how awesome he is and how much of a good face he’s got.

Couldn’t watch cause of dumb regional restrictions, and thank jeebus for small favors, apparently. .

Any word on why Nelly is sitting?

Injury, rest, or are is our super awesome manager giving up on him due to the slump?

The bottom line is the Rangers hit the perfect storm of good fortune the first part of the season. Weak division of four teams, two not real strong. Then the Angels have devastating injuries plus a tragic loss of a pitcher. Add to that the relatively weak schedule the Rangers had as the outset. Make no mistake, they are improved, particularly the pitching (Nolan’s influence IMO) but lady luck was a Ranger for the first couple of months of the season. What we have to do now is hope the real battle won’t be with the Mariners for third place.

Hank Blalock is from San Diego.

#$)(*#$%)(*@#$%!!!!!

That’s pretty much all I’ve got right now.

Is there even any point in speeding through it later?
Any knoxie gold with the dogs at least?

But I think the return of Hambone is going to make a huge difference.

I’m looking forward to seeing debuts of Feliz and Borbon. The second half will be fun to watch, and if we are playing meaningful games in September I’ll be satisfied with that.

I have decided that I don’t want to trade away any prospects in a deadline deal. Before this last horrible stretch I felt that they should try and make a move or two, but I think it’s pretty evident that our time isn’t here just yet.

Not sure if its been mentioned, but they announced a few times at the rider game that Hamilton was making a rehab start there on monday.

BOOOOO THIS TEAM.
Disgusting. Pathetic. Appalling. Loathsome. Vile. Repugnant. Horrific.

Thank god it was dog day or I would have been bored out of my mind.

An Angels fan dies and goes up the stairway to heaven.

He knocks on the door at the top and the door is opened by St. Peter, who’s wearing a Rangers shirt.

“Oh shit” says the Angels fan, “But I’ve been a good man, really!”
“Oh yeah, how?” asks Peter.
“Well I gave $10 this year to Comic Relief, $10 to Red Cross and $10 to Children in Need.”

“Alright, I’ll have a word with him upstairs and we’ll see what happens.”

So St. Peter goes off to see God and leaves the Angels fan waiting.

About an hour later St. Peter has returned.

“Here’s yer thirty bucks, now fuck off!!

“Padres one-hit powerful Rangers in Texas”

What’s wrong with that title?

What does AJ bring to this team?

The worst was Dontrelle Willis

Borbon is hitting .330/.411/.426 in June before tonight. It would really be nice if they called up Borbon when they activate Hamilton. Go with depending on the SP…

I understand that Josh spends a lot of time there, but I doubt that most people listening to Texas games care about what SoCal HS some player went to.

The Rangers are 1.5 out of first place or that Seattle is only 1.5 behind 2nd place?

to give Blalock the same message the Rangers gave Padilla?

Put him on waivers, if someone claims him, they claim him. If he stays with the team, let him know that the Rangers need to see more “old Hank” who uses the field a bit more.

Considering how cash strapped this team is, I don’t see a lot of downside to him getting claimed away, and given his performance, I don’t see a lot of risk to the team, either.

The most annoying thing is when they go fucking split screen during live action so that Knoxie can finish interviewing some Blue Hair from Mansfield who sews quilts using old Ranger game worn Jerseys and gives one away to ex cons every time a Ranger gets a walk.

Seriously, NO JIM F KNOX during live action. And Lewin is a fucking caricature of himself.
