Rangers 2012

[Nash B.]

Wilson deserves it more than A-Rod. A-Rod played better when he was here and got traded away. Then, IIRC, he did something with his contract in New York that allowed Texas to stop paying on his old contract.

I know the Rangers were still paying him as of the bankruptcy.

I think Wilson deserves it more as well, choking under pressure all the time and all. Not sure about the Rodriguez thing, I thought part of the sale included a sum to finish his buyout? Not sure though.

Here it is.

Rodriguez, however, had an opt-out clause from his contract after the 2007 season, and used it to great effect. The Yankees, not willing to let him go and test the market, signed him to a new ten-year, $275 million contract.

Right, but i think we owed him 25 million for one of the years before he opted out. I know he was our number 1 creditor.

Back to back leadoff homers on Colby.

[Geor!]

Make that 3.

[momo]

oh hell, focus on game two now!

[Nash B.]

Nice start to the first game!

[Geor!]

Almost 4.

Throwing every single pitch right down the middle.

[Kenny_Stang]

Well whatever demons he was dealing with earlier, he seems to have exorcised them.

[Geor!]

Wasted opportunity.

I don't know if he'll get it as bad as A-Fraud, but it'll certainly be close. Is the matchup still set to be CJ vs Darvish?

I believe so

Wilson was good during the season but was pathetic during the post season. I wouldnt say he choked under pressure all the time. He's going to get booed for all the douchebag comments hes made and for the stunt he pulled on Napoli.
