Thanks. I appreciate that. :tup

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.

Hadn’t heard about that, but I believe it. 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. <_<

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.

Dodgers now ten in a row. tonight Maddux vs BK Kim.

That's the amazing thing about this game - they sucked coming out of the break, and here they are on a ten game winning streak.

Ouch! Nothing like Tommy John surgery to kill a promising career. Poor guy! :(

Did they change to article up? I don't see a mention of Tommy John surgery....

No; it just sounds like that's where this guy is headed.

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. <_<

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.
