  • I am going to see the Texas Rangers tomorrow

    I haven't followed them in about 14 years so I have no idea what is going on now, especially since I have been following the NL and the Astros (go 'stros).

    So what has been going on?

    They have a great, great offense and crappy pitching.

    Right now they are 28-28 and 4 games back of the Angels in the AL West.

    Their best hitters right now are OF/DH Milton Bradley, CF Josh Hamilton (the comeback kid), and 3B Ramon Vazquez. Ian Kinsler is playing a very nice 2B and David Murphy is doing well in the OF. They also have a nice catching tandem with Gerald Laird and Jarrod Saltalamacchia alternating behind the plate. Salty is the better hitter, but Laird is the better defensive catcher.

    As for the pitching... well the bullpen isn't horrible with Wright, German, Francisco and Guardado, but the starting pitching is horrid. Only Padilla and Ponson (yes that Ponson) have been above average.

        Another city copying Toronto? Isn't one enough?

          Call it what you want. It's around 90 degrees f. right now. Apocalypse is going to be roasting his ass off, and it's just begun.

            Maybe someday you can go see a Major League game.

            ACK!
            Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

              Well, I am west of Temple right now so it's not like I haven't been exposed to those temps. I'll be fine with the temperature.
