FanShot Quotes

Great show today! Let me know who you guys want to hear from next Sunday morning (players or scouting directors, whoever).

That was Grant Paulsen, host of Minors and Majors. If you guys want to hear some Rangers talk from or about their prospects, then let Grant know via Twitter, @MinorsandMajors. For those of you who don't have SiriusXM, I'd be happy to jot down the talking points of the conversation, and then post them here.

And then: That team that spent $50 million more than any other team, that team with three sure Hall of Famers and as many as four others, that team that bought Milwaukee's best pitcher and Anaheim's best hitter and Toronto's No. 2 starter and Boston's favorite Idiot and the most expensive player in the history of baseball and so on, that team will win the World Series, and spray champagne on each other, and they will tell you that they won because they came together as a group and kept pulling themselves off the ground and didn't listen to the doubters.
And then, if you are a not a Yankees fan, you will want to throw up. If you are not a Yankees fan, you are left hoping that next year the randomness of a short playoff series will get the Yankees and allow some other team to win so we can celebrate the hope of Opening Day. And that's baseball.

"...Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers, he was a good tipper and pretty funny. And he was a really good dresser."

[The coaches failed to make] our points more compelling than their fat little girlfriends. Now their fat little girlfriends have some obvious advantages. For one thing, their fat little girlfriends are telling them what they want to hear, which is 'how great you are' and 'how easy its going to be' and we had a bunch of people who wanted to win the football game but nobody wanted to play the football game..........I don't know if I will be successful this week or not but I am going to try and there will be some people inconvenienced and if it happens to be their fat little girlfriends too bad.

Jaramillo said in a radio interview, the day after decision to turn down a Rangers contract was announced, that he thought Kinsler was trying to overdo things this year, especially once Hamilton and then Young were injured. Kinsler didn’t take the right approach to the plate, Jaramillo said, opening up too quickly and not figuring out a way to fix it. Jaramillo’s remarks were just short of throwing Kinsler under the bus, considering his job as hitting coach was to give the player the means to fix things.

'Our infield sucks. It's the worst in the game. I'm not lying about that,' said Pedroia, who blamed the grounds crew. 'That stuff upsets me. My job's to take 1,000 ground balls a day and the others guys' jobs are to get the field perfect so we can play baseball.'

Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers was so drunk when he returned home from a night of carousing at 6 am Saturday - while his team was in the process of choking away the AL Central - that his wife was forced to call 911. The audio is very depressing. Listen to it all - you can hear Miguel Cabrera getting belligerent with the cops in the background.

911 Operator: Has he hit you?
Cabrera’s wife: Yeah.
