Dan Gould Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 The Rangers annual second-half free-fall has resumed. And Kip Wells had one good start and complained of "fatigue". I feel your pain, Big Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) Thanks. I appreciate that. Edited August 8, 2006 by Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Thanks. I appreciate that. Did you hear that the Sox kicked the tires on Wells but when they saw his medical records, they put the kaibosh on it. They were afraid he'd have circulation issues in cold weather. Guess those circulation issues cropped up a little earlier. Typical Texas attitude - grab a pitcher and pray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, though, about the Rangers trading attitude: grab someone so it looks like we’re actually doing something and MAYBE have a clue about it. I guess the spirit of John Hart lives on.

Chalupa Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=114439 Rangers' Padilla arrested for drunken driving August 3, 2006 Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers said they would "reserve judgment" on the drunken driving arrest of pitcher Vicente Padilla, who will continue to play until his case is resolved. Padilla was arrested July 7 in Dallas County, according to court records. He has made for starts since, winning two, and is scheduled to take the mound Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. "After consultation with MLB, and recognizing it is an open criminal matter, the organization will reserve judgment until such time as that process concludes," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said in a statement. Daniels first heard about the arrest Monday, according to newspaper reports. "The Rangers absolutely do not condone drinking and driving and take the issue very seriously," he told The Dallas Morning News. "I'm working to understand the facts and can't address the situation appropriately until then." Padilla was pulled over after a Dallas police officer spotted him running a red light and driving erratically, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Padilla does not normally speak with the media. Ron Conover, his attorney, did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I kid you not about this: last night, after watching the Rangers take a 4-0 lead on the A’s, I shut the TV off for the night. Didn’t watch or listen to any more of the game before hittin’ the hay. Proceeded to have a dream that the Rangers blew the lead and lost 7-6. Which is exactly what happened. I swear I am not making this up. Probably means nothing more other than perhaps I’m too used to this crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Could be worse...KC is 36 games out. Yeah, but did anyone really expect anything from them? All year, I've been hearing about the Rangers playoff hopes and wondering what drugs these people were on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
