i'll tell you chuck, it's rare that a forum becomes anything more than "just a forum". what you guys have been able to achieve with this site and the legitimate partnership you guys have made with the angels at the highest levels has really impressed me. as a business owner i sincerely congratulate you, i'm sincerely and truly impressed. it's amazing what a person can achieve in this world, even with a fauxhawk.

i don't believe that comparing nolan's contributions to magic's is equitable to nolan in any way. the rangers were literally perennial losers before his arrival, and while jon daniel's contributions, to their sea change in culture, can in no way be minimized i don't see how nolan's can be either. 
 
their pitchers were soft and wilted under the texas heat, nolan was the one credited with that change in approach and attitude. being that they were the same pitchers having improved results, i don't see how the general manager would be credited with that improvement. i think the gm's major accomplishment  was the amateur talent improvements both foreign and domestic.

this is either a common internet occurrence or the work of genius.

that's totally cool for a kid.

i'm sorry mac, but that's ridiculous on both ends. you're offering the perceived #2 for the perceived #1 and throwing in an end of the first round (10-12) pick in kershaw. that's bad thinking, but even worse thinking is the fool that didn't jump all over that before you came to your senses.
