As of June 21, McCarthy is our only regular SP with sub-6.00 ERA (5.90): The rolling 2007 Texas Rangers thread

The bigger question: does Texas deserve its own thread? (Answer: OF COURSE, if only to LOL @ stupid fuck of an owner.)

I'm (semi-)amazed at the ESPN mega-love for Sosa compared to what will happen w/ BB's 756th.

I prepared an Opinion Table to help us know how to think about these two historic sluggers.

                       Sosa           Bonds
Home runs              600            748

Caught cheating        Corked bat     N/A

Clubhouse weapon       Jambox         Recliner

Teammate fisticuffs    N/A            Jeff Kent

Demeanor               Dumb           Surly

ESPN love              Yes            No

excelsior!

Neither one is caucasian.

Ha ha - that's awesome!

Drew Sharp sez Sosa is a phony and a fraud.

How is it that testifying under oath before Congress two years ago required an interpreter, but becoming only the fifth major leaguer in history with 600 home runs has Sosa chirping to all who care to listen that he's now undeniably one of the immortals in more than understandable English?

Hyper-understandable, then?

Gee, I have no idea why a foreign-born ESL athlete would want an interpreter at his side when being brought before a Congressional committee deadset on finding out how performance-enhancing drugs are staining the game of baseball, especially when a poorly-worded answer, or misunderstanding a question would only land him in a big pile of shit.

so was it just yesterdays' game or is Hairston always this clueless in CF? because he looked just terrible out there from where i was sitting!

Score some runs sometime.

Nah.

Wow.

holy shit

glad i started kinsler today~

I wondering if there was even a Rangers or Orioles thread to comment on this! I think this is the first time 30 runs have been scored since 1897 or something.

lol paul shuey is an oriole? it's all fitting into place now

haha

(me looking over box scores a minute ago: hmm 2-1 cards up... no teixeira hr's today... WHAT THE FUCK)

GO RUN DIFFERENTIAL!

And they're playing TWO!

I wonder what the record is for runs in a double header?

oriololes

only one ranger had less than two hits--and he was 1-for-1 with a grand slam!

we need a pick of the baltimore dugout stat!

Wes Littleton earned a save in the 30-3 game. To be fair, he did come in with only an 11 run lead, so a save seems appropriate.

When Tim Kurkjian was talking about this last night, I wasn't sure if he was on the edge of a coronary or an orgasm.

^otm

altho I did like the thoery that it was b/c the rangers had to face santana and bedard the previous two nights so they were pissed.
