Yep, I'll say it. Might as well say it now against all the early season love...
I hope so, with how you guys manufactured all this faux Hicks hate and Washington love, I'd certainly like to see that crash and burn.
I read in the DMN Washington believes defense pitching, and situational hitting are the key to winning. Good thing you guys are consistent in rejecting that nonsense. Oh wait, no you're not. You're all behind Ron Washington.

Do they let you draft OC's now?

Yup, if there's one thing I think about when I think of Lone Star ball. . .
. . . it’s a love of Ron Washington.
Sharky grabbing strawmen
always amuses me.

Who's behind Wash?
Point him out; the angry mob will march in that direction with torches and pitchforks.

Dude, Mike Maddux is our pitching coach

Come on, Sharky
Nary a word about Obama, liberals, or the media? You can do better than this.

I better not watch the Rangers any more...
because I just love Wash SOOOOO much, I don’t want to see him fail
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Is this like a hard-count in football

"I read in DMN....."
I’m guessing he skips the articles and goes straight to the comments. That would explain a lot.
"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 just had an epiphany
Sharky must be Bob in Arlington.

I wonder...
how many Rangers players Sharky could name without using the wonder that is the net?

I think the only reason...
he talks about MY when he posts here is because that’s the only player he knows is on the Rangers.

I still think
his village idiot routine can be amusing.

In the same way
that punching yourself in the nuts is amusing.

5 or 6 points
he has that many?

Here's the problem
His angst and intense hatred of odd things for who knows why (the Astros, “you guys”/“this board”) were what made him amusing. He’s too mellow now.
by Brett Perryman on Apr 7, 2010 1:50 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
What was great wasn’t his diarys (which is what they were back then), but his random responses to Adam. It’d be like when Adam was advocating getting Garko, the old Sharky would have said that Adam was just being an Astros fan.
The peak was Sharky’s “I hate Adam so much” post. Seems like it has all gone downhill from there.
Go Rice Owls!
You have to understand
From 2000-02, Sharky would post these insane rants on the ESPN Rangers message board at, like, 3 a.m.
And there would be 6 or 7 posts all in a row, with subjects like “You guys hate Pudge” and “Rangers fans want to get rid of the good players.”
And he’d end up replying to himself over and over again.
You’d go to the message board in the morning, and there would be these insane Sharky rants waiting there. It was funny.

thats entertainment
I wouldnt mind more of that around here.
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
"I hate Adam so much" was greatness
Then the goof went and deleted his diary containing that statement. Made me sad.
"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.
Sharky's favorite team, the Astros
Pedro Feliz is 2 for 2 today.
The rest of the Astro lineup is 1 for 20.
Which isn’t shocking, giving that they have Kaz Matsui hitting 2nd, Geoff Blum 5th, and Jeff Keppinger and J.R. Towles along with Feliz in the lineup.

You know
Someone called into John & Lance on Tuesday morning and asked, “Is this the high point of the season? Being just 1 game under .500…is this going to be as good as it gets for the Astros this year?”
After much discussion, they decided that it was quite likely that the Astros wouldn’t be that close to .500 again the rest of the year.

Careful. Houston is making a nice rally against SF.
They caught Cain with his pants down for 3 batters. Made him pay.

Drayton has needed to blow that team up for about three years now
He would never do it, but a Teixeira/Halladay/Lee-esque trade of their superstars could do that system a world of good.

Seriously, they could rebound as they have had some pretty solid drafts the last two years
despite passing on Smoak in ’08. Unfortunately, they are pretty much stuck in 1998 mode and their GM and Owner are both idiots.

The owner
hates managers who think for themselves. He just wants a sock puppet that will give fat contracts to the likes of Brandon Lyon and Kaz Matsui in his stead, so he doesn’t look like such a big idiot. Remember the Jay Powell and Todd Van Poppel years? That’s exactly what’s happening in Houston.

Agreed. The stadium isn't as shiny anymore so they don't need to justify
having all those big-name vets to sell tickets. They can keep Pence to keep a name around the casual fan can throw out, but get rid of everyone else. Oswalt could get one or two decent guys, Berkman the same. Someone would overpay them for those two sometime this season.

I think the Yankees could afford a contract like that
and get him for peanuts. Reminds of when they acquired Gary Sheffield for a bunch of no-names.

Ay
but whatever decent value Roy O and Berkman had is pretty much gone.
If you dealt Oswalt at the deadline last year, there’d probably be a contender gambling on his reputation as an absolute second-half ninja (something he finally defied last year, thanks to injuries.)
If you dealt Berkman last year, there wouldn’t be the questions about his health like there are now, I’m guessing teams would be willing to pick up a .400 OBP slugger with a pretty good glove at first.
Wandy could probably get some good parts though.
Fuck you, Drayton.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Yeah, they definitely missed golden opportunities to capitalize on those guys' values

There are very few players
worth no-trades in my opinion.

Agreed.
If you’re team’s in place, it’s not a long contract, and you can count on the recipient being worth the money for the entire contract, give it to him. Outside of that it tends to be crazy.
A bunch of Astros fans have said the market is more interested in the “hometown stars” staying in place than rebuilding, though. Not sure how accurate that is.
Guys I talk to in Houston
are pretty hardcore fans, and hate what’s happening now. I think this team may be bad enough to push them into rebuilding, but I think they may have waited too long to move Oswalt or Berkman.

ICP....
is pretty crazy, used to listen to their stuff back in the day.
They’re for real. That song is actually pretty tame compared to a lot of their stuff. At first I thought they were just shock-rappers (and they are), but I’ve seen them a few times on Stern and other shows. While I think a lot of their stuff is just a publicity act for their crazy ass fans, I’m pretty sure they’re fuckin’ crazy too.
By the way their names are Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. No – I’m not joking.
