Ty Cobb

Congrats Jeremy!  I still wish you were playing college ball in the state of Texas, but I understand your decision.  Good luck young man and take care of yourself. 

Better get it in today.  Looks like rain late Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

Any new info on the umpire situation with the UIL?

[/quote] The really interesting part is the Astros farm clubs that are owned by Ryan (Round Rock and Corpus Christi) would now become Ranger farm teams. [/quote] What will this do to the Oklahoma and Frisco franchise?  Will these teams just move to Round Rock and Corpus? 

In the gym or any other indoor facility.

Does anyone have any information on this situation? 

I don't care if Vlad hits .250 with 10 HR's and only 40 RBI.  The best part about this deal is that the RANGERS pitchers don't have to pitch to him anymore.  He was the biggest RANGERS killer in MLB.  That alone could count for 50 batting average points, anywhere between 5 and 10 HR's, 10-15 RBI, and probably 3 or 4 wins.  The only thing that could make this deal any better is if he were left-handed and swinging toward the home-run porch.   

WOW!  Remember when Seattle was as good as anyone up the middle?  Randy Johnson on the mound, A-Rod at short, and Jr. in centerfield.  That Seattle team could have been something to deal with if they could have kept those guys together. 

I'm pretty happy with this trade.  It gets Lackey away from the angels and Halladay out of the American League.  Both of those are positive's for the RANGERS.  The part I can't stand is that Cliff Lee is going to seattle.  That means the RANGERS will have to face him about 5 times this season.

If any of you guys play up north this week you may see a little weather.  It was snowing in Ft. Worth this morning.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life... Some ADs need to have their heads examined.  :-\ What school is this? [/quote] I don't think he was saying that AD wouldn't let the kid play baseball.  Some schools do not have a baseball class.  This would mean that you stay in football offseason all year long, during the school day, and practice your other sports after school.

I'm taking the Tigers by 10 or more.

People keep bring up the fact that WOS cancelled a volleyball game.  Why did they cancel a volleyball game?

The Tigers win by 10 or more.

I'll take the mustangs in this game.

Nick McCOWN #10 FS Hardin-Jefferson Hawks 15 tackles, INT.

Another tough one. I don't like anything, or any team out of philadelphia. (Well, maybe a philly cheese steak sandwhich.) I will be pulling for the dodgers.

Being a RANGERS fan, it is hard for me to root for the angels but I can't stand the yankees. I do, however, like the angels hitting coach. (Mickey Hatcher is a great guy) I guess I'll pull for the angels.

I sent my application in yesterday. Hopefully, I will hear something by the end of the week.
