yes, the draft is important...my point is the media and the team build up these guys when there drafted as to how great they are when reality is that the chances of them panning out are slim
Doesn't make the draft any less important. When the Rangers start shopping for missing pieces at the trade deadline, what will be our number one bargaining chip? The stacked farm. We wouldn't have nearly as much chips to deal if they had ty drafts. The future looks bright because of ... past drafts.

Rangers next pick was Tommy Mendonca 3rd baseman from Frenso St...
He should fit in nicely with this team as he set the D-I record for K's
Not sure who that is, but apparently a constant the last few years is that we have had somebody who will strikeout at a crazy ratio.
Brad Wilkerson, Chris Davis, now this guy is gonna be our future at that "position"
Todd Stottlemeyer was a stud when the rangers traded for him.
There will be decent veteran pitchers available but htey need to be the right ones.
Pitch to contact, ground ball sinker pitchers.
Derek Lowe would have been the perfect pitcher from this team and ballpark. Sinker ball pitcher, 200+ IP, never injured. He signed for 4 yr $60mil with the Braves this past offseason
i am driving up for mine Friday
bought the tickets 2 months ago cause my dad wanted to see Manny oh well
but we have been going every year for almost 20 years and this will be the first time my wife and kids are comeing

Thanks guys I can’t wait, also taking the kids to the water park Friday before the game and maybe the aquarium in Dallas on Saturday read good things about it on-line.
Anyone know any other fun places to take the kids Saturday after noon.
You going to Six Flags? And then there's always the Fort Worth Zoo. I think it closes at 6 on Saturdays.
cool thanks yeah we are doing six flages
How often do you see a 1-0 game in Arlington? Well I'll take it! And the Halos lost 11-1, so our lead is back to 4.5 games.
as ty as the Rangers offense has been the past few weeks, i cant believe the Rangers havent really lost any ground in the division. however both Seattle and the A's have crept closer to the Rangers as both teams have stepped up their play
Damn Dodgers are coming into town with their stingy pitching so Rangers pitchers will need to keep them in check

Oh yeah, Derek Lowe would've been awesome.
Him and Millwood together and I would've gauranteed you the Rangers make the playoffs, and with as clutch as Lowe is, probobly getting to the ALCS.
They've gotta let a guy like Dave Duncan pick pitchers for em.
Mike Maddux if he's that guy, should be given a long term contract, cause I'm impressed with what he's done.
IMO, that was one of the reasons I was counting out the Brewers this year due to the loss of two aces and Maddux. Yet they are still in first. Go fig.
Yeah the Dodgers are a tad of a paper tiger IMO, they have no true number 1 and their bullpen is shaky.
Their offense is winning them games, and damn, how good will it be when Man Ram gets back...
Rangers bats have GOT to wake up.
Ranger's bats are due for big games and it could come at the perfect time for this next series.
Our bullpen is deep- Oday, Jennings, Wilson, Guardado, and when Frankie comes back Wilson can go back to SU. If they can all stay healthy I see no reason why we can't take the American League West easily.
I'm more worried about Seattle than the floundering Angels at the moment but anything can happen in baseball and Oakland is not too far behind yet.
I'm still pissed they put Padilla on waivers, but maybe it was a good wakeup call for Vicente.
FYI Ian Kinsler did an interview with Jim Rome yesterday, it is worth checking out...http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4252438

Back 2 Back Shutout's
Great win Rangers! Last season didn't we have three shutouts in a row?
Dodgers always suck in Interleague. I'll be rooting for the Rangers except for this weekend. Anyone but the Halos.
no dodgers suck against any team other then in their own division (yep those 26 wins sure help their record)
rangers 4-0 in interleague play
make it 6-0 soon
