6 playoff seasons and walks by a World Series trophy in the stadium lobby.

I propose that as punishment, the Rangers must hang this in their clubhouse for the remainder of the season.
 

Selig may have played spoiler for the Rangers come Monday.

This is what happens when umps give teams four outs in the 9th.

Fixed.

the family truckster.
granted its not the super sports wagon with the CB radio and optional rally fun pack.

"I think that's the pink elephant in the room," Rodriguez said. "I think we all agree that we want to get rid of PEDs. That's a must. I think all the players feel that way. But when all the stuff is going on in the background and people are finding creative ways to cancel your contract, I think that's concerning for me. It's concerning for present [players] and it should be concerning for future players as well. There is a process. I'm excited about the way I feel tonight and I'm going to keep fighting."
 
 
This guy is so completely lost in lies and fantasy land it's actually sort of frightening.

Your lucky Katie, I remember when people looked like the Bee Gees.

Callaspo sure didn't look good this afternoon.  The guy is a .250 hitter at best. He may have been a nice guy but we can do much better at that position. 

Good Kevinb, just go away and root for another team. I guess you weren't around in 2001 when people were saying the same thing as they are tonight. Good luck on joining the Rangers and Dodgers. 

If he is cleared to play then he should play.  He makes a ton of money not to.

So if his foot is 100% he should just stay home and collect a check. Glad you are not my employee.

Of course it was bad, perhaps the worst ever. I don't understand how a ring negates everything else. Should Cardinal and Giants fans be content with a decade of poor play and poor front office decisions because they recently won the WS? It doesn't work that way

Who cares if they were complicit... they benefited from a cheater and should be punished.

I can live with not being the top franchise in the area for a while. It's not like the Angels didn't have a run of successful seasons while the Dodger wallowed in the mud. Tides change all the time in sports so getting your ego punctured over this means you never had any real self esteem to start with.

Moreno knows that life long loyal fans will always be fans, and that bandwagoners come and go. He knows that he won't lose us. It isn't a dictatorship perse, but there's no way I stop being a fan of this team. 

So Dipoto  should have just gotten rid of Kendrick and Aybar because that's what would have happened.  I like all of these Monday morning quarterbacks on this sight.  Listen, this was a bad year lets get over it and move on.

Are you ever going to shut the F up

I'll post this here too...
 
How is it Jerry Dipoto's fault that:
 
Hamilton is mired in prolonged slump.
 
Madson/Burnett non-factors due to injuries.
 
Pujols played on one leg and is out for the final two months.
 
Vargas blood clot.
 
Hanson had death in family, injuries.
 
Weaver broken elbow.
 
Peter Bourjos injured, TWICE in the midst of having a great season. 
 
Joe Blanton has been the worst he has been by far at any time during his career. 
 
Mike Scioscia has made some of the worst calls from the dugout that I've seen in a long time. 
 
Is Jerry Dipoto perfect? Nope. But you can't fault him for trying to put an amazing team together. Where he could have done a better job is...
 
Kept Santana, not signed Joe Blanton.
 
Signed a sure thing closer like Rafael Soriano, then signed Madson for insurance if anything else. 
 
Not signed Josh Hamilton, kept Torii Hunter for two years. Kole Calhoun as Torii's insurance.
 
But yeah, it's easy to second guess the GM. We were all excited about Josh Hamilton. Most thought Blanton would post a 4.50 ERA and give us some quality starts, and we ALL thought Madson would be back by May the latest. Most were happy to see Santana go as well.

Wow, relax folks.
I thought Dipoto did a great job at the deadline.

I wouldn't sign him.

Considering he's been caught for PEDs, he's pretty much proven to be an idiot.

Every GM if they had the money and the need would have signed Hamilton last offseason.

Tell me what he could have done better?  Spend 90 million on Scherzer?  Pitching wasn't out there.  Injuries have been brutal this season.
 
He is also saddled with a manager that has a totally different and prehistoric philosophy than him.
