Good article from Reeves

on Bobby V.

"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."

"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"

seems like the perfect time, actually.

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

no no, not about jennings in general.

about AJM’s defense of him.

the preceding post was a great success.

McCarthy, Dozer, Jennings

Adam, we realize that you are in the business of ruining people’s lives, but could you exclude Rangers pitchers?

Please don’t pick a new favorite pitcher to prop up in the face of our criticism. You’ve done enough already.

"You can probably stick a fork in the Rangers' playoff chances for 2009." - AJM on 7/26 with the team 4.5 games out

He gets credit for Hunter at least

the preceding post was a great success.

And by being anti-Feldman

look what’s happened.

AJM, please dump on all of our remaining pitchers.

I'm anti-Feldman?

I was one of the handful of folks in the ‘07-08 offseason saying, "Don’t drop him from the 40 man roster," when people were claiming he was a waste of space, and very loudly proclaimed that he should be in the rotation this season and said that putting him in the bullpen was a mistake.

It's odd

that people assail you so much for not going with the prevailing winds.

Dozer was the only one of that group I really had as a favorite

Jennings, I just didn’t think had been so terrible this year as to deserve being released.

Apparently, the team felt otherwise after last night.

So what happened this morning to annoy you?

Adam wasn't a big McCarthy apologist, IIRC

As a staunch McCarthy apologist myself, I should know.

Bobby V is looking for a challenge

maybe he should try managing the Pirates?

by MikeEl on Aug 27, 2009 11:50 AM CDT reply actions  

That's more like a death wish.

Hank is the elephant in the room. When will he disappear?

by inactive lsb user on Aug 27, 2009 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

i hope

Bobby V comes back to the states to manage. he definitely makes things fun and interesting. good luck to him.

by mo on Aug 27, 2009 11:51 AM CDT reply actions  

I feel ya on the annoying morning, Adam.

But I guarantee Jason Jennings’ morning is worse.

by jam0152 on Aug 27, 2009 11:52 AM CDT reply actions  

If the Rangers weren't doing well

is there any question that Nolan would already have Bobby V lined up to come in here and take over? I still wouldn’t be surprised if it happened because those two were pretty close when Nolan played here. But with the team doing well, we will probably have to stick with Wash for another year and his unwavering loyalty to whatever veterans are on the team next year.

"Thank God for Feldman." - Ron Washington to Eric Nadel, August 2008

hey man he's grown

look at how many rooks he’s playing now, and what’s happened to Easy Eddie, JJ, Steroid Jones and Kank Blalock in the past few weeks…and the mystical Marlon Byrd kidney stone.

8 rookies on the 25

Next swing & miss?

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.

by Rodney on Aug 27, 2009 3:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't get this comment

I think that overall the team is doing a pretty good job breaking in a LOT of young talent and contending at the same time. Given the youth of this team and the turnover in the pitching staff I think Washington is being underrated here by most.

Yankmes HAD won last 6 of 7 series at home
