Cuz no one gives a shit about the Rangers.

AL Player of the Year at the moment (that's MVP to me).
IK, Hamilton and Bradley are 1-2-3 in Runs Above Replacement, Position-adjusted.

Get that team a pitcher (and some defense drills)!

can you imagine those guys w/ volquez, danks and chris young?
― j.q higgins, Thursday, 14 August 2008 13:46 (sixteen years ago)
To be fair, they wouldn't have Hamilton if they had Volquez (& EV still sketches me out -- he was like a hard-throwing Dice-K pre-ASB, what with the # of baserunners, and the WHIP higher than his ERA for a month-plus). But Danks & CY would be a nice thing to have. Whither Brendan McCarthy (sp)?
― David R., Thursday, 14 August 2008 14:04 (sixteen years ago)
he's been hurt, i guess. hamilton's a great story and all, but in all these years that texas has sniffed the playoffs, when has offense been their problem?
― j.q higgins, Thursday, 14 August 2008 14:53 (sixteen years ago)
They were last in the playoffs when, '99? The Kevin Elster Era?

i wonder if thomas diamond cries himself to sleep at night

about a year ago EV was called up from Oklahoma but slept through his flight -- at which point the rangers said maybe you should just stay in the minors. so perhaps their jettisoning of him had a little to do with dreaded "makeup" problems.
― mookieproof, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:21 (sixteen years ago)
The flight lacked the veteran presence to keep him awake.
― Andy K, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:53 (sixteen years ago)
Am I missing something? He was supposed to stay awake because...?
― Leee, Thursday, 14 August 2008 17:43 (sixteen years ago)
i'm guessing he was supposed to stay awake so he could catch a flight to the big leagues but since he didn't think it important enough they said to stay put.
― chicago kevin, Thursday, 14 August 2008 17:53 (sixteen years ago)
Oohhh, I thought he slept on the flight, not that he missed it entirely. omg im like sooo blonde!~~ \/^_^;;

that's how i read it too.

Rangers pitching coach = ANDY HAWKINS
― David R., Friday, 15 August 2008 03:03 (sixteen years ago)
^^Holy shit, folks, he's not kidding!!
― G00blar, Friday, 15 August 2008 10:37 (sixteen years ago)
I remember reading last year that he either missed or was late to a bullpen session due to not waking up on time.

seriously, the rangers are the AL's version of the phillies -- w/t the defense and w/ even WORSE pitching (i.e., the phillies DUMPED vicente padilla!)

well, that clears the MVP for Hamilton (or K-Rod)
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 13:22 (sixteen years ago)
carlos quentin much?
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 13:40 (sixteen years ago)
surely it couldn't be anyone other than A-rod?
― cankles, Thursday, 21 August 2008 09:19 (sixteen years ago)
yes, Quentin might be the fave (tho as Sheehan pointed out this week, Jermaine Dye has been nearly as good). But if the White Sox miss the playoffs, Hamilton still gets the plurality I think.
