How do you see our rotation coming together next year? I'm mostly curious at how you see the young studs - Feliz and Perez - fitting in. Do Wilson and/or Lewis come back? Is Ogando sticking or will he go back to the pen?

In Book of Shadows Bonds started doing steroids because he was sickened by watching Bonds and Sosa break records. So we can blame Mark McSteroid for Bonds' use of PED's.

you can't just ignore what the cowboys did in the 70's and 90's and that's why there's no comparison between the cowboys and rangers

2009-09-17T12:23:22.264-05:00

If they don't sweep the Halos this weekend then I too will likely give up on the playoffs. I just heard something crazy on The Ticket - they've scored just 1 run in the last 37 innings?!?!?!?!? Can that be right? I have to admit I haven't watched much but have been checking the score (much to my horror) nightly. I know Young and Josh hurt but what about everyone else? They get swept by the lowly, last place A's? Ouch.

here's what I wrote to some in an email:

here's what I wrote to some in an email:

To whom it may concern,

I was asked to not cheer loudly at the Rangers game. I was sitting about 30-40 row back on the 3rd base side between home and 3rd base.

Let me explain, elaborate, be flabergasted.

When a reliever came in the game tonight I began to heckle him. I did so mericelsly. I will admit I can yell loudly. But, I never uttered an obscenity. The folks I've blind copyed can attest to the fact that the worst I yelled during the 6th inning was, "you got nothing, don't think about the ERA".

I did yell that and other things repeatedly until I was tapped on the shoulder by a security guaud of some sort. I proceeded to the breezeway with 3 of my friends.

I asked the security guard what was wrong. He said I was being too loud. I immediatly asked, "What?"

He said that he had received complaints that I was being too loud. TOO LOUD. I swear that's what he said. He said that I cheering/heckling too loud. Wow. I guess I should sit on my hand like every other fan and enjoy the ballgame. Go to NY, Go to Philly. Go to Chicago. Go to anywhere. Go to anywhere else. I think what I was doing would have been fine there but, not here.

Let me be clear again, an obscenity never escaped my lips. Never.

I was only yelling at he top of my lungs that I thought the opposing pitcher was a poor pitcher. For example, I think I yelled, "just throw strikes, don't think about it." And again, I never yelled or even said to a friend siting next to me an obscenity.

They, the Rangers (and by the Rangers I mean their security gaurd, with his whtie shirt and blue shorts who quickely retreated when I asked him questions when I was pulled out of the crowd) apparently don't want fans helcking opposing pitchers or yelling too loudly.

Oh, and go to the Rangers' website and try to find a button for fan feedback, I dare you.

And the players wonder why fans aren't loud when the Red Stockings are in town. Do you think that the fans in Red Stocking-land keep their decible level down? Do you think it's any wonder that Kinsler on BaD radio only asks that Rangers fans be louder than Red Stocking fans. Well, tell Kinsler we can't. We'll be shushed by the Rangers' staff. Maybe the Rangers should play all their games on the road.

Surprisingly, although I believe he's Dominican, he was born in Starkville, Mississippi, where his dad is a professor. BTW, he batted leadoff throughout his minor league career.

2009-08-19T11:23:39.963-05:00

Good point about the hitting. I didn't see much of last nights game though. But, Jedi Josh has apparently been batting over .400 since the road trip. Excellent, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

And I think the pitching is about to hit on all cylinders. Remember, Frankie Fran is still coming off that injury. And I also think Wash has to try not to over manage the bullpen/pitchers. He got these big claws (CJ, ODay, Mathis, Everyday Eddie, Frankie, Happy Feliz, Jennings(JJ's cousin)) and he doesn't know how to play with the bunny (the opposing teams batting order).

Lastly, Borbon is my new favorite Ranger. He only has 20-something at bats but his batting avg and OBP and stolen bases are great. New lead off guy?

2009-08-18T23:18:13.532-05:00

Ok, sad that we don't win in the semi-Pudge debut BUT I'm not sure if y'all have been paying attention WE CAN HIT!?!?!?!!!!!! This is great news. The bullpen tightens up, a touch...really, just get back to late July/early August form and we are in the pennant chase. If Mauer isn't in some alternate "I can hit anything" universe, we win this game going away.

Truly, I we split/win every series from here on out, it will not hurt when the Cowgirls open 0-3.
