I thought it was funny that 1) the question was even asked and b) a whole article was written about it.

Maybe start this talk after, ya know, shutting down something other than the worst offense in the AL.

And Holland will throw a no-hitter today.

Who here feels sorry for ARods plight?

Nobody.

I don't feel sorry for him but if the Yankees are let out of that contract then I'll be pissed.

How would that happen?

Only will a lifetime ban get them out of the contract and I'm not sure that would stick. Right now, he'll rehab for a week then get back into some rehab games and be in the majors shortly after, maybe 10 days from now. The drama appears to be over for now.

So now we know why Wash wouldn't put Scheppers in the game on Friday night.

Don't need him if we're always behind in the 9th anyway

I came here to post this link. Dang.

So this is a plan to help get a bat? Why would a seller give up a bat for an old closer? Why would a buyer who wants a RP, give up a bat?

or somesuch · **Posted:** Sun Jul 28, 2013 10:52 am

Unless this means Texas is a seller, which seems pretty unlikely.

MLB Network Radio ‏@MLBNetworkRadio 14m

.@JimBowdenESPNxm on report that #Rangers discussed trading Joe Nathan: "They're not shopping Nathan. They never were shopping Joe Nathan."

Could they just be shopping for prospects, thinking they have more than enough pitching? Still, why would you sell off the best closer if you're in the hunt? That could really come back to bite you in the ass.

Sweet Greggo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 28, 2013 1:08 pm

Of course, it could all just be a load of shit to sell ads. I'm more inclined to believe ESPN's quote that Hoob posted.

What about Nathan & Sardinas to Det for Castellanos?

or somesuch · **Posted:** Mon Jul 29, 2013 9:49 am

Is that a real rumor? If so, the Rangers should jump on that yesterday. Sardinas has no spot here ever and Nathan is likely gone next year and losing him this year really wouldn't even hurt that much, with that riduculous WHIP and all those bombs he's given up. Especially if Feliz/Harrison can be close to form.

It's not a rumor I'm just throwing out stuff that makes sense both ways. I bet it would require more on the Rangers part but not much. At most maybe throw in Tepesch?

nobody is going anywhere or coming here. Hello 82 wins.

At least for one day, I can take comfort that the Rangers came back and beat the stupid fucking Angels, whom I hate more than any other team. Get off the field, fuckers. You lost.

Sweet Greggo · **Posted:** Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:52 am

That 9th inning was fun. I hope that game gets them back on track.

CJ "Clutch" Wilson has been pretty good lately so he's due for a meltdown. With the pressure of pitching at his former home I'm expecting him to fold up like a cheap suit.

I have amused myself this morning reading angelswin.com. So funny.

Sweet Greggo · **Posted:** Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:04 pm

Holy shitballs, that place is full of gold. I especially like this thread: http://www.angelswin-forum.com/forums/t ... s-debacle/

"The look on the texas players faces was like "love playin' these bitches". "

Get ready! He's coming back!

I believe in second chances.

Sweet Greggo · **Posted:** Tue Jul 30, 2013 3:02 pm

If he comes back and Wash lets him do anything but DH, I'm digging up Oswald and putting him in the 6th floor of the Captain Morgan's Club.
