PrintJoin us tonight from 6:00 until 8:30 at Sherlock’s Baker St. Pub (9100 N. Central Expressway, at the northeast corner of Central and Park Lane) for the off-season’s second Newberg Report Book Release Party. Come early if you’d like and get something to eat and drink.
The evening, emceed by the great Chuck Morgan, will kick off with Q&A sessions with Rangers assistant director of player development Jake Krug and prospective managing general partner Chuck Greenberg, followed by a live auction and then a Q&A session with Michael Young. These won’t be scripted sessions. Your questions, their answers.
We’ll have the 2010 Bound Edition for sale, as well as Carson Leslie’s book, “Carry Me.” Carson, as most of you know, passed away three weeks ago at age 17, after a courageous, dignified three-year battle with cancer. To hear from Carson himself and learn more about his book, take a look at this four-minute YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYJ7zgJISpM
Carson’s family will be on hand for tonight’s event. All proceeds from the winning auction bids will benefit Wipe Out Kids Cancer, the charity through which Carson and Michael met and became friends.
The auction, presided over by local auctioneer Luther Davis, will include five copies of Carson’s book and five copies of mine, each signed by Young; bats signed by Young, Ian Kinsler, and Josh Hamilton; baseballs signed by Young, Kinsler, Hamilton, Scott Feldman, Neftali Feliz, and Derek Holland; a glove signed by Young; and a batting glove signed by Young. We’ll auction off the 21 items separately.
Young and his wife Cristina Barbosa have committed to make a contribution to Wipe Out Kids Cancer that matches the total of the 21 winning bids.
See you tonight.

The great Ted Price tells me that he will have equipment at tonight’s event at Sherlock’s that will permit us to live-stream the Q&A with Jake Krug, Chuck Greenberg, and Michael Young. You can check it out starting at 6:00 p.m. at this link:

Was the short guy with a cheesey beard sitting at the bar

haha..No sir, I'm not short.
But I was kneed up at the bar….And my beard is nice and cheesy, almost cakey.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

Acutally 2 out of 4, no idea what the line-up thing meant.
.500 is still good.

I was talking to a Zac Galifinakis
starter kit at the bar and he was getting his drink on and bitching about the line-up.
That wasn’t you?
All in all a very nice presentation by Newberg. CMorgan is silky smooth (Rich Freaking Hand are you kidding me?). I’m quite impressed with The Great Chuck Greenberg (Arte Moreno cut the price of beer his first year in LAA, just saying).
I also can’t say enough times how proud I am to have somebody like Michael Young represent this franchise and I hope he’s still here when the real winning begins.

Thought you weren't coming?
Would have liked to have introduced myself.

Good to hear
Josey’s presence wasn’t a huge distraction that ruined the whole night…

Nope, wasn't me....
But it’s sweet that you were looking for me.
Agreed on all counts, I heart Chuckles in a big way….I’m really not used to having an owner like that, I really don’t know how to act.

Not totally sure, just heard your name and someone named Ruger.

Some posters bring something to the table
but also take away a napkin and a spoon.
ASL consistently brings nothing and takes everything away.
Jamey, Ryin A was too drunk and I wasn’t there yet, what did Chuck say?

Play the live stream. It's right at the beginning.

That's funny.
As soon as Chuck said “the capper is appearances by ruger & Josey Wales” there were audible gasps in the audience.
Chuck Morgan is a great ambassador for the Texas Rangers.

Thanks Josey
With Jake Krug, Chuck Greenberg and Michael Young there, Jamey had a great lineup…and knowing that it was the Newberg Nation in attendance, I knew they would understand my minor attempt at a little humor.
Funny story, one person did come up to me after the event and wanted to know when “Josey Wales” was going to show up.
Thanks Josey for the nice comment.

Odd.

Never knew how shredded FOTF was, guess I never saw him before but that dude looks ready to go.

Cool, back on the 'roids.
Good for us, I suppose.

FWIW, and before I forget ...
Jake Krug, IIRC, was talking about the differences between Rudy and Hurdle and briefly mentioned that Hurdle’s style has meshed really well with Chris Davis and that Davis is looking as good as he’s ever looked swinging the bat.
Rangers pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report on Thursday, February 18.
Must have missed that part.
Walked away from the stream for about 10 – 15 minutes toward the end of the auction. Missed Greenberg auction off his sweater too. Good to hear though, I think getting away from Rudy’s approach is really going to help this team out overall.
Ready for some baseball.
That's awesome to hear about Davis/Hurdle

About how many people were there?
Got stuck in a meeting at work and couldn’t make it over. Lame.
