I think Pudge would pay his own salary with the increased gates he would generate.

i’ve watched about 10-15 games he’s caught this year and he doesnt suck on D. His bat has slowed, but he’s probably still more of threat to get on base than either Salty or Tea, as sad as thats gone this year.

I was just giving him a reference. I was driving back from the game last night so I only half way listened to what he said.

I’d always heard good things ffrom his pitchers.

I retract my Pina remarks.

well fuck me sideways. I forgot about Bannister being waived and already having an open spot on the 40.

I do apologize Mike E.

i guess it’s his fault the old school brotha thinks he should leadoff. maybe if he didn’t hit as many home runs or steal as many bases he could be a good number 3….. sorry for being a dick but im tired of the kinsler hate. he’s not rickey henderson or johnny damon. he’s Ian Effing Kinsler so let him do what he does and enjoy it. kinda funny how a traditionally last place laughing joke of a franchise starts hating on guys like kinsler, hamilton, wilson and murphy when they’re part of the best team in over a decade. the rangers prolly won’t make the playoffs this year but i’ve seen things out of this team that make me proud to root for them. i’d love to have a lineup of crawford, ellsbury, pujols, tex, arod, hanley, mccann, holliday, pedroia but my fantasy team isn’t that good.. i know i;ve gone off on a tangent and sound like a douche bag im just frustrated with the hate when this team is overachieving like a mofo.

(1) The “throwing under the bus” scenario, in which Washington doesn’t agree with the front-office decision to bat Borbon leadoff against righties, and/or wants Kinsler to believe he doesn’t agree with it;

(2) A less confrontational but more conspiratorial scenario, in which Daniels, Ryan, and Washington have collective reasons for wanting to give Kinsler the message that “the organization” isn’t thrilled with his performance in the top spot in the order, and Kinsler really simply didn’t have much to say about that.

And, of course, there are various flavors in between and beyond. This should be good for at least a couple days’ worth of arguing about various folks’ intentions and insights, eh?
