I was trying to post in the last thread

Adam — LSB could use at least a little bit of minor league coverage.

We need Jamey or someone to write a weekly roundup of prospects news. Nothing as comprehensive as NMLR reports but just some news so I know how well folks like Neftali is doing.

Uh

Kinslerhomer and Firebat do daily minors threads. And there’s more than enough Ranger minor league coverage that gets linked here.

Why do we need to do it ourselves, too?

Disappointing definitely, but really not a bad mlb career.

at least he never hit 5.0 on the ERA until this year.

by DShep on Jun 6, 2009 8:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah,

but if you look at his college numbers, they look like Strasburg’s. Benson was hugely hyped in the day.

Just a huge game tomorrow.

Assuming Detroit holds on, a win leaves us with a 3-3 trip to NYY/BOS and no worse than +3.5, one game worse than we were entering the dangerous trip.

Hopefully the Padilla wake-up call move will fire him up as planned.

Most annoying part of the Ranger broadcasts?

Knox?

Twitter references?

Reading inane emails?

Refusing to talk about the game?

Josh beating us down with the 50th reference to something we all already know (i.e., “They aren’t booing, they are saying ‘Youk’.”?

The emails and Knox I can live with. But the incessant Twitter references make me want to vomit blood.

I hadn’t noticed Josh’s repetitiveness so much until recently, but that’s getting pretty bad too.

I had a nice e-mail though about Padilla and waivers… but Josh didn’t read it and added his own words to make it sound like I didn’t know Padilla didn’t have to clear waivers to be traded heh

I don't think he was humbled,

but I don’t think he goes plunking either.

My guess is

the message has been received that he needs to step his game up to avoid taking too much of a pay cut next year.

I have no idea

why they just don’t ride Benson into the ground. With a sub 5 inning start, you might as well thrash your long man to save your overall bullpen

Okay

So I haven’t been posting but I have watched this game. Kinsler’s pretty good, at least.

Thought Holland looked good but those Red Sox are hard to get out, you know. Think Lester looks damn good but the Rangers have helped with that. With any luck the score would look more respectable but I think they were going to be beaten tonight no matter what.

Nice to see the Preying Mathis.

90 pitches going into the 9th? That’s just fucking ridiculous. This team needs to be taken behind the woodshed.

No perfect game, no no-no, and no loss of games to Angels...

Can’t really complain.

As has been stated, win tomorrow and come back 3-3…not too shabby.
