Friday morning Rangers things

Exhibition games don't count, but you'd still rather start off the Cactus League season with a win than a loss. And a 13-3 win is particularly nice.
There was some concern that Rich Harden was only hitting 90 mph on his fastball yesterday, but in Jeff Wilson's game story, Harden says that's not a concern. He says he mixing his fastballs at anywhere from 88 to 96 mph usually, and doesn't amp up the velocity until later in the spring.
T.R. Sullivan has notes up from yesterday's game, saying that Tanner Scheppers, Alexi Ogando and Pedro Strop all impressed.
Evan Grant liveblogged the game, and you can see his ongoing thoughts here.
Sullivan's game story focuses on Colby Lewis and Rich Harden, who were "economical" in their short stints.
The S-T's notes include an injury update on a variety of players, including Josh Hamilton, and the news that all of the players on the 40 man roster have now signed contracts, with a salary breakdown for each of the non-arb-eligible guys who have now signed.
Randy Galloway has a column on Hamilton, and how his ability to stay healthy is his biggest issue. I've said this before, but even if Hamilton is a J.D. Drew, a guy who takes longer to heal and seems to always have nagging injuries holding him back and limiting to 130 games per year, he can still be a real asset if he's the guy who performed in 2007 and 2008, rather than 2009.
Wilson has a short item about how five of the Rangers' 9 lefty pitchers in camp are all lockering next to each other.
In off-the-field news, VPs Andrew Silverman and Dale Petroskey are leaving the Ranger organization. Petroskey is noteworthy because, from what I understand, he was someone Nolan Ryan had recruited to join the organization, although his role was " vice president for marketing and community development," and it may be that with the devil finally selling, marketing and community development won't be quite so hard anymore.
And on a separate note, non-Rangers related note, I thought this comment from Stephen Jones, explaining why the Cowboys' tender to Miles Austin meant Austin wasn't going anywhere, was funny:
"How many times have [you] seen another team give up a one and a three?" Cowboys exec Stephen Jones recently said,
He's right, of course...no smart team would give up a #1 and a #3 for a non-elite wide receiver.

Man,
it feels great to wake up in the morning and plow through a box score.

I so agree with this
In the interest of quicker games Ron should just tell the ump he's pulling the Feliz card and the ump should rule the inning over.--Sherman McCoy on Sept. 4, 2009

Feels better to wake up and plow through something else
Heyoooo
"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 was actually thinking Joey Galloway as the non-elite WR that the 'boys gave up a 1st & a 3rd
except they gave up two 1st rounders 
What a ridiculously stupid trade that was.
Two first-round picks??? How can you possibly live up to expectations after that kind of bounty?

You missed the most important headline of the morning.
Scrabble-like iPhone game occupying players this spring
This is the latest rage sweeping through the Rangers’ clubhouse this spring. It’s an iPhone version of Scrabble, the famous and popular board game.
“It’s a blast,” Young said.
“I usually have 10 to 20 games going on at the same time,” Wilson said.
* * *
The list of players now includes Ian Kinsler, Chris Ray, Taylor Teagarden, Darren O’Day, David Murphy and Doug Mathis. Minor League pitcher Michael Schlact and team masseuse Doug Cecil also play.
7-7
afterr the first move. I had more letters, but this fool landed on a double space.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
16 points on my next move.
Took the lead. I will now stop play by play, but I will let you know the final score at a later date.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
I bet they like spelling out words such as
bunt and Rizzuto.

Gotta believe he still has a Michael Young column in him and something that will make the GM uncomfortable as well before he leaves Surprise.

Maddux praise for Scheppers.
When a pitcher has command of a power fastball the way Scheppers does, it’s hard to beat that pitch.
May 1st
Bring him up
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Eh
No reason to rush the kid. I’d rather they take time with him since the ballclub is deep enough (barring massive injuries). He’s still pretty new to pitching plus it’s the best way to monitor the shoulder.
Looking for in-depth basketball analysis? Try http://www.basketballfreeforall.com!
Yes, there is...
I don’t necessarily buy it, but it is a legitimate argument.
Goldstein: If it were up to me, I would start him at Triple-A [Oklahoma City] and get him to the majors as fast as possible, as a reliever. Here’s the thing: Tanner Scheppers is pitching on borrowed time. Tanner Scheppers is going to break. It’s not a matter of if; it’s a matter of when. HE IS GOING TO BREAK! Every time he throws a pitch in the minors, you are taking a risk. You are wasting your time. You have to be able to reap major league benefits from this talent as soon as possible, because at some point between now and the time he is 30 (if not sooner than that), he is going to break. I would fast-track him and get him into the bullpen as soon as possible.
Nice

Cowboys fans will be so pissed about having Roy as a WR that they forget the good times when we had actual quality #1 receivers.

"Dying ain't hard. It’s living in the wake of a thorough public humiliation that’s hard.--JDT217
Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous.
He kept going on and on about how Williams needed more than 86 targets, and that we’d see how good he is when he is targeted more than 100 times.
Totally dismissed the 8 drops that Williams had this season, and his complete lack of “giveashit” during most games.

Josh's injuries
As much as it’d suck if he does turn out like JD Drew with the health concerns, if that is the case, then the team has to make sure he is healthy before returning to the field. How much did his performance last season suffer just as a result of playing through injuries when he should have rested.

I thought Galloway made a good point
about playing through pain vs. playing through an injury. I work as an ER doc, and my general experience has been that people who have used drugs (coke or heroin) in the past, even if they quit, never seem to get back to a normal level of pain tolerance. It’s like it resets your pain pathways and even minor things feel a lot more painful to them than they do to you or me. I wonder if that’s contributing to Josh’s trouble’s staying on the field.
that's a good point.

Is random word replacement possible through Greasemonkey?
What I was thinking was a list of responses that would expand in on pre-determined text (ie, you type in ‘burrito’ and the script would replace the word burrito with a word or phrase randomly selected from a list saved somewhere (locally within the script if possible or linked to an online storage site).
Make sense and or possible?

I don’t know what you mean by “expand in on pre-determined text”
Close (and I know I did a terrible job of describing it)
Basically, the idea was to store a list of random responses. The idea would be to type in the ‘pre-determined text’- for the sake of example, let’s say ‘I like pie’. When I type in ‘I like Pie’, the script would go grab a random response, so instead of ‘I like pie’ you’d get ‘Bob Crane was a weird guy’ or ‘Dogs and bees can smell fear’.

Heh, funny story 'bout that
I had to resubmit my (now) 60 page background report- twice- then had my interview rescheduled for four more weeks out.
I get the sense it’s like getting into Project Mayhem- my interview is going to be standing on a porch for three days while someone comes out and insults me.
