Twain and The Rangers

Two of my favorite ways to pass time. Check out TR Sullivan's post about Brad Wilkerson and the enigman that is OPS. As always, you'll leave his page feeling smarter, and maybe even a little more literate.

GMJ Who?

Who out there doesn't think Kenny Lofton can do this...ummmm, OK, bad question.

Welcome to the Jungle

Get pumped up watching this video about Gagne. Audiences beware, this video does contain steriod accusations made by fans of the former team and in no way reflect my opinion or that of The Texas Rangers. Actually nothing on this blog reflects the opinion of The Texas Rangers, unless they they want to be right.

Tearing it Up!

Blasphemy! This is one of the scariet videos I have ever seen.

At Bats for Otsuka

Maybe we should try to get Otsuka some at bats as well, or at least an advertising deal.

Fuel the Fire

Let me know which of our division rivals do you dislike the most. After watching this, I think I'm voting for the Angels.

Ready to Rumble

Looks like there will be some major competition for roster spots once The Rangers begin spring training. The DMN reports that Sosa will battle Diaz and Botts for a spot, yet there seem to be a few others looking to hang on. Byrd, Hairston, Wilkerson, Cruz, and even Arias will all be looking to find a place and we can't keep them all. Obviously some do not have minor league options, but the scrap heap of outfielders is a pretty tall stack.

I'm also looking forward to seeing who earns the last spot(s) in the rotation, and hopefully not by default. I like Hurley's confidence and I bet we see some of him sooner than later, but that youthful energy will be helpful.

Also, don't be surprised to see Otsuka pushing Gagne, which will only make our bullpen better...BUT...with all this inner competition, Washington has his hands full...AND...if we have a rough start, clubhouse cohesion will be sticky (I mean that negatively).
