    Are the Ranges an expansion team?

    I don't understand how a team like the Texas Rangers can pay a guy $252 million over 10 years.

    The Rangers are a same market team as the Houston Astros.

    Why is Drayton such a cheap b*stard? This just makes me hate baseball, Astros baseball even more. And now the Astros want to get screwed in a trade with the Tigers.

    Astros suck. Once the novelty of Enron Field wears away, I expect Astrodome like crowds...hahahaha Drayton is so cool

    I don't know too too much about baseball
    but judging from what I hear from Fans
    They might wanna look at restructuring
    their salary Cap.

    I really like the NBA's
    esp the Rookies must stay 3 yrs

    I often wonder if to some players
    in all sports if the championship
    is not that important anymore. .
    if they think . . it's just a game
    and work hard enough just to keep
    their checks big. . . cause I know
    in some instances they seem to mail it in

    i agree rock river. no cap just seems dumb. im surprised that the yanks dont just have every good player ever.

    WOW, a-rod to the rangers. i used to follow baseball and we had a pretty intense rivalry with seattle, just dont seem right that he might play for us now.

    yeah, heard this new deal for brad ausmus to the astros. how stupid is that. we give up an EXTREMELY talented young catcher in meleusky to keep an over the hill veteran we should have kept four years ago. we also give up the only real speed on the basepaths in cedeno.

    oh well, i geuss this is why i became a red sox fan. man i hope they get manny.

    The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?

    About as much free time as it takes for you to make the errors. [​IMG]

    If you like larger booties, Domanique Sachsa would be on that list as well.
