New T.R. Sullivan mailbag up
T.R. Sullivan has a new mailbag up...
Questions on Josh Hamilton's durability, why Scott Feldman isn't a slam-dunk to get the Opening Day start when he won 17 games last year, and potential trade targets for bench roles...
Alas, no wacky trade proposals this week.

I'm wondering why he owes anyone an apology

What does that
have to do with smoking pot?

I can't wait til November ...
when California’s voters will most likely make it legal. Not that it’s a problem to get anyway, I can go down the street and buy some anytime but it’s nice to know you can buy a little extra with no worries :)
If the Rangers don't make the play-offs this year I'm gonna go all Epic Bearded Man on your ass.
I don't have a strong view one way or another on weed
I just think it’s dumb that substances with slight side-effects such as steroids/marijuana are illegal, when other substances with significantly greater social costs and side-effects like tobacco/alcohol are no problem.
People can weigh the costs of minor decisions like these. Gov should focus on cocaine/heroin/meth— the drugs that really bring down society.
Sorry-end of diatribe
Heh
I agree w/ all of that, and I suspect Terry and BG do too.
It was your oddly phrased “autonomy” reason that made the cranium go itchy.

Yep
I’d rather make it all legal. The government really needs to focus much more on the demand side of the equation and not the supply in the drug war. Pot is just not a big problem in my view.

I worked at the public defender's office
Saw a 60 year old lady take a week in jail because she couldn’t afford the fine – for smoking marijuana on her front porch. Stupid.
Hmm
What is the difference between a “single” and a “base hit” if there is any?

People were really confused by this?
And also, what the hell is up with the Lincecum pic?

I figured it was going to be one of those captions that AJM does where he takes the caption and changes it and for some reason didn’t change this one. This one would have played on Tim Lincecum reading the mailbag.

Right
And then I forgot to change the caption.

video mailbag
He does a video mailbag with Nolan. I really liked how Nolan said he is letting the pitching coaches do their work and just trying to be available if the pitchers have a question… really makes you feel like he gets it.
It was hard...
to make it through the first minute or so of that video mailbag. They both sounded like 14 year old boys with their voices cracking and stuttering all over the place.

Honestly, how does a guy that looks like Lincecum end up being a god on the mound?
Seriously, he should be hanging out in the poetry section of a Barnes and Noble drinking a latte and trying to impress high school girls with how sensitive he is.

AJM..
Looks like you need to school TR as to whether or not McCarthy can be sent to the minors without clearing waivers…. But, probably not worth the time or effort
so T. Rex thinks Matty cracks the starting staff huh....interesting
If the Rangers don't make the play-offs this year I'm gonna go all Epic Bearded Man on your ass.
it's not like Grant's man is in the lead anymore
and Holland didn’t show well, either. not that one 2 or 3 inning start means anything…

I just can't see the Rangers doing that
Since they’ve pretty much decided before ST they were going to take it slower with him because of the injury. He might be ahead of schedule, but it’d still probably be safer starting him off in the minors.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Seeing Ellsbury mentioned here
and outrageous trade rumors that may or may not involve Hambone, I present the following
Ellsbury for Hamilton, would you do it?
I would, but maybe because I’m a Jacoby Ellsbury fan..obviously they would not be dealt straight up, but this would be the centerpiece of the deal
Go UNT Mean Green!
That would be an incredibly stupid deal
healthy Josh Hamilton for 120 games >>>>>>Jacoby Ellsbury.

Would you trade Josh Hamilton...
…for Julio Borbon?
I don’t see that there’s much, if any, difference between Borbon and Ellsbury.
by Adam J. Morris on Mar 8, 2010 5:25 PM CST up reply actions
A Hamilton-Borbon trade would make serious headlines.
By the way, the Kekich-Peterson movie looks like it’s gonna happen.

I think Borbon could be better offensively than Ellsbury

I'd take those 70 stolen bases with 12 caught stealings ..
I didn’t realize he had so many but I bet Borbon has that many this year.
If the Rangers don't make the play-offs this year I'm gonna go all Epic Bearded Man on your ass.
70 steals is asking for a lot
But he did a great job last year on the basepaths and I think even then, he had room for improvement given his speed. The two things that could hold him back are his OBP and whether or not he is given the greenlight that many times.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Is Casey Kelly the throw-in?

I'd settle for Westmoreland

This is correct,
a simple ‘z’ at the end could have corrected this from the beggining
