PrintJohn Sickels over at Minor League Ball as an "All Questions Answered" thread open until 4 p.m. Central today.
You only get one question per person, but if folks want to go over there and ask a Ranger prospect question, as long as you do it by 4 p.m., you'll get an answer.
Let me also suggest that you read through the previous inquiries so you don't burn your one question on something someone already asked.

Joe Siegler's historical uniform database?
Lame?
Or really lame?
Neftali Feliz says sit your 5 dollar ass down before he makes change...
Hi, Keith. Is this the year Edinson Volquez finally wins RoY?
Yeah, I've never really understood
why people care about uniform numbers.

It's called passion. We got it.

So where are the answers?
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.
In my pants.

How about bringing back the Greatest Rangers of All Time?
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I'd say we should do an OT thread...
But it’ll just devolve into somebody accusing someone else of racial bigotry.

I dunno what this meant...
but it made me chuckle, or cackle, chortle, choke, spit the bit, etc.
Just read the AJM facebook page thread, you'll get it.

When you use the term Japs,
you are talking about jalapenos right?
Sorry I couldn’t resist…

as opposed to a baseball thread
where you’ll be adamant about something when you’re clearly wrong.
maybe you should take a break from posting
And maybe you should trollscript me.

I think it's amusing
that rather than typing “sorry. my bad” and saving everyone a lot of headache, you’d go out of your way to bring it up again.

Because the entire issue is a farce.
Basically it’s the biggest, touchiest assholes on LSB being arrogant enough to try and force their rules for language and slang down everybody elses throat in between bouts of telling other people to shut up, die, or catch terrible diseases. It’s internet self-righteousness at it’s worst.
Bottom line is we’re all a bunch of vulgar and crude assholes around here, and we might as well enjoy the fact that AJM lets us get away with most of it instead of sparking silly infights over abbreviations.

Real quick
when I say “go fuck yourself and die, you incredibly idiotic beating of a man-child” I’m addressing you personally. I want you to go fuck yourself and die because I think you’re an idiot who’s a beating to read and will probably fail at everything he does, so you might as well put yourself out of your misery right now.
When I say “god, I hate gay people”, that reveals my own ignorance and indulges in idiotic stereotype. When I use the word “Jap”, I make a reference to a term that was used in a dehumanizing way for a long, long time. It’s perfectly fine to believe it’s just an abbreviation and not know better, but then to continue to dig yourself into a hole is just stupid.

Looking at your signature
…it seems you really, really have it in for LSJ. That second one is especially scathing.

Not really
I made a polite request and you said no. I’d say Firebat’s synopsis is accurate.
You still have time and the forum to make amends.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
I'll extend the olive branch to you...
There where extenuating circumstances to the entire thing, which is why I didn’t take your rebuke well.
But Firebat and ab, who have insisted on dragging this thing through the mud instead of just shutting up and crawling into their respective holes like they expect me to do… they can go fuck themselves.

Meh
it started out as a joke, but it’s kind of sad that there’s enough insensitive words to get it out as far as it has.
I was originally going to replace it with Philkid’s “If the Saints can make the Superbowl, the Rangers can make the World Series.”, but didn’t want to jinx the Saints.

It got deleted because the subthread was an abortion of an argument.
Morality you can fake. Fun you either have or you don't.
are you beginning to hang out with miles or something?
because this is a miles-like response.
Go Rice Owls!
Naw
I’m just kinda enjoying watching the steam fly out of ab03 and Firebat’s self-righteous ears right now.
Morality you can fake. Fun you either have or you don't.
I don't know what's more stupid
the fact that you can’t see how your actions are wrong or the fact that you think anyone cares enough about you to have feel anything but pity and derision. If you were to get hit by a truck today, I doubt very many people would care.

Well
You obviously care enough that you feel a burning desire to continue pounding the argument into the sand and attempt to denigrate me.
I know the world wouldn’t blink if I got hit by a bus tomorrow… which is only fair, because after all, I don’t really blink when other people get hit by buses either.

Nobody is trying to denigrate
Just educate. But you’re being a dick about it. Well, we where trying to educate you but it seems like a lost cause. (I phrased that so you could understand).

See
I thought the fact that that whole exchange was deleted would have been a clear indication about my thoughts on the discussion and whether or not it should continue.
Apparently not.

Yeah, I'm partial to any mention of Al Green.
Would’ve done him good to enlist Rev. Green’s maestro, Willie Mitchell(RIP).
