@Evan The Giants are talking about their “extreme” need for a power hitting outfielder. They have pitching. I would think Hamilton is the only untouchable. So why not try to pick up Jeremy Affeldt, or Merkin Valdez for our bullpen? And if not one of them there are still plenty of good prospects in their system….

They seem to be a perfect trade partner for us……

I was at the game last night. Hank looked bad all night until the last at bat. But I’d say he made up for striking out with the bases loaded. McCarthy pitched a nice game overall. He looked good. Everybody I went with is convinced Andrus had a vacuum hose in his glove after he made that play in the ninth. The team refused to lose. Everytime Seattle went up they tied it quickly. They have a swagger that a lot of Rangers teams havent had in the past. They refused to lose that one. And Evan, that shirt was awful(or as Barkley would say “turribull”).

Tim, that Elvis play might only be his 2nd or 3rd best so far this year depending on your opinion. The line out two nights ago and the Johjima play in Seattle. Man, are the Mariners are gonna hate to see him on the Rangers for the rest of his career or what.
And as far as all time goes, I’ve still gotta put the Gary Matthews shoulder over the wall as the best Rangers play I’ve seen.

I’m wondering where Andrus’ play in the 9th ranks among all-time Ranger defensive plays. Top five? Top two? I’m not sure I’ve seen any better. And I watched decades of Ranger baseball (qualifying me for some sort of weirdness classification).

if anyone was playing Marty Turco last nite it was Le Salt, blocking all CJ’s dirtballs !

Great regional citation, ‘threw all the way from Pioneer Parkway.’ Halcyon days recalled, indeed.

@Andrew: But you didn’t look up who authored this post. It was the great Jeff Miller, filling in on the game-story authoring. Wow, what an egregious error by you. We are very pleased at The Corner that Jeff has chosen to hang around. The guy can do some writing.
