Rangers 2012

[redfiveohconv]

As would I. Same player statistically, clubhouse loves Murph, Murph is under contract through 2014, and he hasn't been in jail recently.

You forgot a Texas product, Houston native and Golden Bear.

5-5, with a 2.25 ERA this season. Yes, a career year.

Keep in mind, he's on the Cubs though


I swear i heard this morning that he got traded to the Dodgers? Maybe i wasn't paying attention

[redfiveohconv]

... With his history, he wouldn't last 2 hours in New York. ...

I was referring to the pin stripes worn by the Chicago Cubs.

It was tight between the Rangers and Dodgers. He preferred the Dodgers. Probably because it's not 115 degree's there. LOL!

Ah!

Hey TAG... Does anyone really care about the food/ cookies/ brownies you get each day?

Other than the people that send it there, I would bet there is 20 that do not care.


Sorry. Rant off.

Indeed, I care, very much. I love how he endorses the true fans, not just the cookie ladies but the long time Ranger fans who write him letters (yes, it does still exist). I'm talking about the senior citizens who haven't missed a game in 20, 30, 40 years. Nostalgia like that will never be replaced, especially by the recent influx of band wagon riding fans.

He went to Texas.


So, does this keep us in first place?

That is the question.

Dempster is with the Rangers. It is official. Dodgers did pick up Brandon League from the Mariners (as touched on last night by Slowhand), which means he is no longer in our AL West (good thing).

[Slowhand]

Isn't Dempster having a career year? Rent a player.

Can not be worse the Oswalt... Well. not too much worse.

Can't be worse than Oswalt? Why would you be tepid on Dempster?

5-5, with a 2.25 ERA this season. Yes, a career year.

what are you implying here? That he's having anything short of a great year with a 2.25 era on a team with zero run support? I don't see how 5-5 is going to hurt his free agency value with the numbers he's put up, unless there's something i'm not seeing.

Thank you.

It should if the offense shows up.

All I'm saying is that his CAREER ERA is over 4.3 as opposed to this season which is 2.25. His record doesn't bother me, it's just a stat that's on the Cub's site.

Here is what I see.

Home stats: 2W 2L 7Games 2.82ERA 1.21WHIP 7.5K/9

Road stats: 3W 3L 9Games 1.82ERA 0.91WHIP 7.0K/9

Those Home stats speak volumes at Wrigley.

He has not pitched less than 6.0 innings in any loss. Has not given up any more than 4 earned runs in any loss. Has not pitched less than 6.0 innings in 14 of 16 starts. In the other two starts he picked up a W nevertheless.

has more triples than Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz, Mitch Moreland
tied for triples with Josh Hamilton, David Murphy,

Sounds like we have a World Series ready pitcher.
