Glad to see all is right with the world. Rangers losing, ERAs in double-digits. Hicks fighting with his bankers. When Hicks is forced into a fire sale of the team, “things right with the world” rules will change.

I blame Wash because Wilson has rarely, if ever, started a new inning and been able to execute successfully. He has generally needed a base runner or two to get his focus. The man cannot pitch with NO baserunner pressure. OK, Wash, one more time; Start the inning with Eddie G or any third party including Millwood. Then adjust as the situation dictates. Giving the ball to CJ to start an inning is like me giving my child a $100 bill and say get some lunch and bring me the change. It does not compute.

If the Bull Pen had done its job the Rangers would be 5 – 1 not 3 and 3. It is as simple as that. While McCarthy was shaky he got the job done or near enough. Only Benson has stunk in the rotation.

Question: Those of you would want to trade CJ, exactly what makes you think another team would give up anything for the guy?

I give the guy one more appearance If he stinks again then release him. The issue with C.J. isn’t the stuff, but his head. I wish him well. I hope he figures it out. I don’t think the Rangers are place to let him do that.

If he still has an option put him back to 1A and tell him his first name is really Edison.

Next time CJ comes in at home the first base side fans should chant “head case” and the third base side chant “flip off” and maybe the scoreboard will show the famous flip off for all to see……By the way, fans, “Does anyone have a UTube copy of the flip……I think we need to post that again and let everyone have a look at the absolutely classless act CJ put on Wash last year……..CJ you’re done….pack…yes you pack……your bags so we can clear a spot on the roster for someone who loves this game…….

“I broke some bats.” He is really wack…it’s all about him to him and that’s why he wasn’t on his knees begging Millwood and Ryan for forgiveness for screwing up a potentially nice start by this team. We’ll forgive the 15 runs but we sure as hell won’t forgive this outing, CJ. We’re ready for you to go, and we want you to do whatever you need to do to help that along. How about “I really let Millwood down.” or “I just embarassed us, there’s no way to explain your way out of it.” Try those CJ, you argogant putz…………You don’t act like a winner CJ and we don’t want losers……..

Blue glove lefty (or, red, for a couple of games), because he’s a fashion statement, above all… the poster child of the Lonestar Nation. Now they’re turning on him. An immature, undisciplined, egotistical young fella. How Appropriate.

Is it possible that CJ is the Rangers’ Sean Avery? I have always had the impression that the clubhouse wouldn’t miss him if he were to go away. And remember how well the Stars played (until injuries killed them)once they dumped Avery…

CJ is in love with himself, and short on maturity, toughness and humility. Agree with Red, he seems to be styling out there. I’ve always thought he was more of a middle reliever who could go more than one inning (on a good day). That said, I wonder about Salty’s role in this. Did he call the cutter? Did CJ shake him off something else? Did CJ throw it on his own?

Evan your recollection of the last part of the 8th is a bit spotty. Madrigal was brought in with one out and struck out Laird before Indge knocked in the go ahead runs.
