HollywoodAFD 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We are officially as close to first place as we will ever be.... starting NOW! Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Same team as always it seems. Great offense. No pitching. Finish right at about .500 probably.If they dream of contending in '09, they should make a major deal and trade some of that loaded offense for pitching. They won't do it though. They need to find at least three good starters from somewhere and a closer.....more bullpen help. Link to post Share on other sites

Thank goodness for Baseball Mogul.If you're ever in Texas, give me a shout and I can hook you up with some great seats at the Ballpark. Even if it is the Rangers.... baseball is fun from these seats.

Even if it is the Rangers.... baseball is fun from these seats.I was there for the Cotton Bowl in '05 (I think...Alabama vs. Texas Tech). Don't know when I'd ever go back.....but I'll keep it in mind. I actually kinda like the Rangers b/c I remember them playing in the very first interleague game against the Giants...back when I didn't follow much AL baseball.I hate to see them waste such a great offense with such an awful pitching staff though....they should trade either Salty or Teagarden for a SP..and probably do the same with another one of their good hitters.

Not Salty... but Laird is gone.They acquired Minor League pitchers Guillermo Moscoso and Carlos Melo from the Tigers.Laird was trouble in the locker room... he and Salty never got along and Teagarden is the future.

savagerebel 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I was very excited to see this thread. Finally someone that like a crappy team even if they are really crappy. I read a rumor that the Rangers was on the top of the list for Ben Sheets. Then on sportscenter this morning I saw they had agreed to a two year deal pending the physical. During the physical they found some torn stuff in his shoulder and he is likely out all of 2009. We suck again. But I'll still be at the ball park at least a couple of times this year.Rangers' all time record when I am in attendance: 2-0 Link to post Share on other sites

MBenz0569 0 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I don't like that we got rid of Laird. I'm a huge Rangers fan and always have been even though they make it very difficult not to hate them. I think Nolan Ryan knows what he is doing and i'm excited as always for the season. I'm always excited until the all star break when we fall apart completely. They will never go anywhere without much needed pitching and I hope I get to see that before I die.

Theraflu 1,035 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 two words! NEFTALI FELIZ This guy, with his 3 posts, knew what the fuck he was talking about. I got lucky enough to snag Neftali in my fantasy league the day he got brought up. I'm in a holds league, and he's been beyond money. I love watching this guy pitch, and he's got stupid numbers. 22 innings, 28ks , 1 walk, .27 WHIP and one ER on a homer. Since Grady had a tough year, Neftali is my new crush.Don't sleep on the Rangers getting the division...coming into today only 3 games back of the Halo's, although beating up on Baltimore would help. They also got 7 games left versus LA, including 4 in the second to last series of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodAFD 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 We have beaten the Red Sox...beaten the Yankees...beaten the Angels ... but we can't beat the Mariners or the A's when it matters.17 games over .500 and not going to make the playoffs*sigh* Link to post Share on other sites

HollywoodAFD 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 If Greenberg ends up buying the team, Ryan would remain in his current role. If Gilbert's group buys the team, it's unlikely that Ryan would stay with the Rangers. This would snuff all hope of a pennant next year.Hicks needs to be totally out also.... he does nothing for the team. We really need an owner that cares about baseball....not a soccer lover that is $500 million in debt. Link to post Share on other sites

HollywoodAFD 0 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Riley Cooper should just go try and play football.As a baseball player, he hit .247 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 30 games. He hit .207 in 22 games in 2008. This summer he played for McKinney in the Texas Collegiate League and hit .182 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 44 games. So stop crying because the Texas Rangers didn't answer your Tweet and go play football. Link to post Share on other sites
