Thursday Morning Links

Phil Rogers takes a look at the relative ages of the two contenders for the AL West through the awkward framing device of a "get off my lawn" reference.

Drew Stubbs says injuries are a marginal player's best friend.

Cole Hamels' arm feels fine, and he could start either Sunday against the A's or Monday against the Astros.

There was not much to celebrate about last night.

The Rangers are thinking about holding Hamels back until Monday to pitch against the Astros.

Maybe Delino Deshields will be back in the lineup Friday.  Assuming Drew Stubbs doesn't push him in front of a bus, I guess.

Cole Hamels isn't worried about his arm because the injury god is completely occupied with poor, defenseless Josh Hamilton.
