I'm skeptical of any non-Pixar animated film
but their relentless ad campaign has done its job.

There's been some good ones lately..
Mainly ones by third-party productions…
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was great.
So was How To Train Your Dragon.

The last one I really liked was Kung-fu Panda
but those other two weren’t bad.

Kung Fu Panda was the first Dreamworks movie I really liked.
How To Train Your Dragon was great, at least to me. It was made by the same guys that made Lilo and Stitch, perhaps the most underrated Disney flick made.

both good choices along with Happy Feet.
The little penquins played by robin williams are hilarious.
I actually haven't seen that one.

Okay, I couldn't stand Happy Feet
And I hated how it flipped from “look! happy, dancing pengins” to “we must stop the overfishing of the Antarctic oceans.” Seemed pretty cheap.

Saw the previews of this during Toy Story 3
looked much better than that other superhero one they showed.
Slightly related
My daughter, 4, saw Wizard of Oz for the first time over the weekend and loved it. It was kind of neat watching it with her, remembering watching it for the first time about 35+ years ago when I was her age.

Neato, lucky you
Can’t stand that flick personally, but nice.
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said

It's far from my favorite
but the songs are good stuff from Harold Arlen and I’m always happy when she likes good stuff. She’s into Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, too, and knows all the instruments when she hears them. I’m not proud…

'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights

It's right there in the mix...
Love the “Shine Box” scene and when Jimmy Conway (DeNiro) is drinking / playing craps with da boys.
Ray Liotta…What the fuck happened?
Good use of music by Scorcese…I bought that soundtrack.

.500 the rest of the way is 89 wins, right?
That’s a good feeling. The Rangers can be mediocre the rest of the way and still meet the upper limits of my expectations on the season.
I was playing that game earlier
Getting caught up in how realistic it is for them to go .500. It’s a pretty daunting stretch.

Andrus and Feliz
To quantify how special Andrus and Feliz are…..Andrus and Jason Heyward will be the 41st and 42nd players all time to make an all star team at 21 or younger. Feliz missed it by 2 months.
I don't think he was that much more clearly deserving than Heyward.
The competition is more stiff in the NL outfield than it is at AL shortstop, though.
Heyward's numbers are not very impressive after his hot start
I mean they’re ridiculous for a 20 year old in the majors, but they aren’t all-star level.
.360 wOBA
2 wins above replacement with UZR. 2.3 with DRS.
That’s All-Star caliber, sir. Depending on position strength it can squeeze someone out of actually deserving it some years, but that’s absolutely All-Star level.

Brandon Wood over the last week: 1 for 10 with a single, 0 walks
I keep expecting him to have SOME kind of improvement. Thats worse than what CD was doing.
Good.
The Angels apparently keep insisting when he's at the Majors that he change his approach to make contact at all costs.
I mean, he might be Chris Davis anyway, but that’s nutty.
Chris Davis is kind of heating up again
4-6 in double header today with 2b and hr. I think he is trying to help the ranger’s cause in a trade.
oh no
I’m a huge Davis believer, but Smoak is the better player. He cannot keep getting robbed when he hits the ball hard.
I am getting sick of hearing about Smoak being robbed 4 times a game,
F him, get a flipping hit.
Bunting makes me spooge in my pants!
He isn't getting robbed as much as you'd think...
His BABIP on the season is extremely low, at .234. Among big league hitters with at least 250 PA, Smoak has the fifth-lowest BABIP. Part of the reason for that low BABIP is that he’s hitting a bunch of pop-ups — Smoak’s infield per fly ball rate is 18.6%, the third highest rate in the majors and far higher than the 7-8% MLB average
Bunting makes me spooge in my pants!
His wOBAr is .357
which was Ian Kinsler’s wOBA last year.
wOBAr is a stat that takes the expected bases for a LD, FB, GB, etc and then calculates an expected wOBA based on the subsequent percentages of each that a hitter gets.

Besides growing your love for Mike Olt, what did you think of the rest of Spokane’s roster, specifically Clark and Profar.
In the one game I saw Profar play, he struck out three times. . .
. . . lined pretty well straight at the second baseman, sent an elderly fan out on a stretcher with a foul ball, popped up to the catcher and had two mistakes in the field.
Obviously he’s awesome, just not when I saw him.
Clark made some of the most bogus fielding mistakes I’ve ever seen, that’s all I remember.

If you don’t sleep, like me, you need to hear the Hurdle interview in the a.m. on the Ticket. It was number 5 of the top 10, so I am guessing it will be aired at about 5:35 a.m. or so.
Seriously, he had so much great things to say about Kins, and how he wants to be a team player, and his goal is to score 100 runs this year. And then Hammy…Hurdle got him to stop thinking too much and just let his natural talent take over, and we get this…BLAMMO!!!
Anyway, I was highly impressed by this 10 minute interview. I really like Clint (um, Hurdle, that is).

I personally would not make a deal with him as the centerpiece. But I would not call for tar and feathers if the Rangers chose to do so. There, I said it.
I’d offer Hunter, Beavan, and Salty. I feel like that is more than they should hope for from two draft picks, includes two guys who are major league ready, and an innings eater ready to go a year or so from now.

Lee has taken very little to get in a trade

Sorry, I'm really fucking stupid and should be ridiculed and mocked for said stupidity.
Also please don't trade for Cliff Lee because I want to have a farm system for the next 6 years.

News on Lee
Cliff Lee continues to be a target of the Texas Rangers, who sources confirmed have had discussions with division-rival Seattle about acquiring the left-hander in a trade.
A baseball source indicated that the Mariners have interest in several prospects and young players who have experience at the big-league level. Seattle has inquired about the availability of, among others, first baseman Chris Davis and catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Both of those players are at Triple A Oklahoma City but have been with the Rangers the past three seasons. Seattle also likes right-hander Tanner Scheppers, also at Triple A, and Double A left-hander Martin Perez.
A source, though, indicated that Scheppers and Perez have been deemed untouchable by Rangers officials. Right-hander Alexi Ogando, who tossed a scoreless seventh inning Wednesday, is also on Seattle’s radar, but there is some resistance to include him in a deal.
General manager Jon Daniels declined comment.
The Rangers’ finances could be a major factor that would prevent the acquisition of Lee, though he is owed only have of his $9 million contract this year. Daniels has said that the Rangers have some financial flexibility to pull off a deal before the July 31 trade deadline.
A baseball source said last week that the Rangers would have to be creative to make a deal work, as they were when getting San Francisco to pick up Bengie Molina’s contract in a trade for the veteran catcher.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I have a horrible feeling that we're going to get Cliff Lee.
But JD is going to rape our farm system to do it, both because it’s Seattle and they want a major haul and because we’re broke.
I have this feeling that it will be something like Scheppers, Holland, Davis, Beltre, and Profar. Maybe even Font, too.

You don't think there is at least a little pressure on JD right now to take advantage of the farm system and our current position in the division?
Too many people think “they’re just prospects” and our fanbase/organization/everyone else associated with the Rangers wants to get to the playoffs this year.
It’s time, after all.
I know I’m being irrational with the package. I’m not very good at putting those things together. My point was that I think we’re going to do it because someone thinks we have to, and we’re going to get bent over for it. And we’re not going to like it.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton
We had pressure to deal Bradley
in 2008 and he didn’t and stayed put, we had pressure to make a deal last year and we didn’t and stayed put. This year, we’re actually on top of a division with 2 buried team and one that seems to be crashing and burning.
Do you really think the “pressure” this year is greater than next year? Do you think anyone in our FO lacks job security at this moment? And even if they didn’t have it, do you think anyone lacks alternatives?
JD has not been a panic trade guy since sometime in 2006-2007, let’s not freak out about it. You’re going to give yourself a heart attack.

If that package (lol) got us to the WS would you do it?
I’d say possibly, but since I think that trade would only put us on the same level as some of the other teams, I’m not willing to trade even close to that much to give us just as good of a chance as any of the other teams to get there.

That would be pretty insane.
No way to Holland and Scheppers go in the same deal.
But I could see something similar happening if it was one or the other. If we have to include additional guys to get them to eat salary, it’s the mid-level depth of the system I could see suffering.

trade him while his value is high right now. The same could be said for Beavan who is more of a long man or back of the rotation guy. I wouldn’t want Scheppers in this deal though.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
My rationale on Scheppers is
You’re gonna have to include a player that’s gonna really hurt to lose if you want Cliff Lee.
And if you’re gonna have to include that type of player, it might as well be Scheppers because I think Scheppers is the most likely to have his arm blow up down the line.

ESPN Dallas has a mound matchup preview for tomorrow
