  1. imagine a Cuban/Ozzie yelling match :-).
  2. I was amazed at the Angels run differnce looking at that yesterday. They don't rely on the hr ball but seem to have a small margin for error.
  3. I fully expect Nolan Ryan to do something about the pitching in Texas. I assumed this was a joke when I first read it, but I'm not sure there's a worse idea for a young pitcher than to be tutored by Nolan Ryan. Nolan Ryan is the President of the Rangers. He won't be tutoring but rather assuring they have arms on the big league team. If I was a Rangers fan I'd be worried about the organizational philosophy he'd instill. The philosophy for the past 10 years hasn't exactly done anything.

  5. Is it though? Public squabbles aside, Stern likely realizes more than most just how much Cuban has done for the NBA in that area of the country. His support shows the other owners that whatever incidents have happened with Cuban as an NBA owner, the benefits have far, far outweighed the negatives. He's the Manny of sports franchise owners. I think he is more like the Jerry Jones of the NBA
  6. To sign Teixeira in the offseason? It's going to cost extra, we would have a lot tied up in two offensive players.
  7. The cubs should trade for him then turn him around to the Rangers for Josh Hamilton.
  8. I fully expect Nolan Ryan to do something about the pitching in Texas.
  9. i've also been told that the county that's home to lubbock is a dry county... which would make it even more of a hellhole. That's one of the main reasons.
  10. Lubbock is an absolute hell hole.
  11. I probably exaggerated a bit saying they shouldn't be top 20. Certainly not top 15, but teams drop off quite a bit after 15 or so. I'd probably put them around 18 or so. I think they are a dark horse in the big 12 south. Probably one of the most difficult teams to read. If their defense steps up they will cause a lot of problems. They're especially hard to read because they don't play anybody out of conference - moreso than almost anybody else. They've got enough offense to pull off a big upset or two, but not enough defensive talent to win anything consistently. I'll doubt them until they prove me otherwise. Last years game against OU made me believe more than I had before.

  13. why shouldn't Texas Tech be in the top 20?
  14. You may be right nationally (which I guess is all that matters), but I've really been more annoyed by Bama fans since they've been terrible. Many of them still think they're God's gift to college football (and, perhaps, humanity) and talk that way. Saban coming to Bama has only made things exponentially worse. Sounds a lot like A&M fans.
  15. I'm thinking todays post game song should have been "Smack my bitch up"
  16. a nice steak should calm down Fielder
  17. damn so much for our 0 left on base today.
  18. If he was going for a Shawn Estes impersenation, nailed it!
  19. The cubs must really be in his head
  20. That sounds like a pretty good deal for both teams.
  21. They need two attendance counts. One for the total and one for Cubs fans
