The rangers own David price

Beltre hurt. Doesn't look good. Looks like a back injury. He's staying in though

[Homebrewer]

Someone please drug test and then do a DNA test on Delino Deshields.

Please..

This guy is like 50 years old...it can not be the same Delino Deshields that was already old a dozen years ago.

How do you not throw over to Beltre like 3 or 4 times right there.

[AngelsLakersFan]

it's his son....

[Aaronkv]

Beltre Out

[Homebrewer]

Well damn, they should put JR or II or something in his name, so us old guys don't get all confused and upset.

[fan_since79]

I wonder how many clutch hits Beltre could have had for us over the past several years.

 

I don't recall, but did we make any kind of serious effort to get him back then?

[Homebrewer]

If it wasn't Texas, I would be unhappy to see any injury...but since it is..

[Homebrewer]

Nope.

If I recall correctly he wanted to come to Anaheim but we only wanted to pay something like 5/75 or 6/80 and he got 6/96 from the Rangers.  That is like 6/3billion when factoring in state taxes.

[Stradling]

I thought we offered five years but refused to go six. Texas went six.

[Homebrewer]

Scioscia didn't like him, since his pals up at Dodger-land had labeled him as lazy and un-coachable..  and Scioscia was GM at the time, so they let him go be a "problem" somewhere else.

Starting Hamilton against Price, one of the best LHP in baseball, seems like a curious choice

[fan_since79]

$75 or $80 million is peanuts in retrospect for the production he's given the Rangers.

 

What's the injury, by the way? I missed it.

[yk9001]

on the espn gamecast, they didn't bother to photoshop a texas hat on napoli.  Still wearing the Boston hat.

[Homebrewer]

Dang...and I thought this game was going to end 2-0 with Toronto getting no-hit.

Because the stubborn owner of this team doesn't like Scott Boras and he was Beltre's agent.

from Rangers' Twitter page:

 

Injury Update on Beltre: He left the game with low back stiffness. He's being further evaluated.

Dunno either...I was busy reading and typing shit on some dumb-ass website message board.

[fan_since79]

Low back stiffness.

2-1 TEX...Encarnacion with infield RBI single
