Sad that this thread didn't have the legs of last years.

But it is funny how this year is shaping up so much like last. Rangers get out to a 4 game lead ( last year it was 5), only to have the Angels come charging back. Don't look now, but they Halos have won 10 of the last 12 and are ready to overtake the little Rangers once again.

But, I actually have hope for the strangers this year.

It's because people hate you.

Good to know that you have the answer. Thanks for that. And, coming from one of the most "loved" posters on this board it means that much more to me.

Smoak Monster is starting to hit...8 for 18, 2 HRs, 6 RBI, 1:1 K:BB last week

Glad he's coming into his groove. He draws more walks in a game than Chris Davis would allow himself in a season.

At this rate he might be getting another call from the Robot Greggos sometime soon.

And with his recent upswing...Ron Washington decides to sit Smoak tonight...

I swear, that man could not manage his way out of a plastic zip-lock bag filled with palvo blanco.

Even better: Josh Hamilton had a cortisone shot in his knee yesterday. He was brought it as a PH in the 6th (which is good) and stayed in for 3 innings (which is bad). Today he is playing center while Gentry (a fast and good OF) plays left.

Please let the sale go through in July and the team still be within 2-3 games of the division lead.

Fun with stats from today's Newberg Report:

Smoak is up to .222/.339/.389 overall. Frequent comp Mark Teixeira is at .226/.341/.391.

Or as Tom Hicks see those stats:

.222/.339/.398/$350,000 > .226/.341/.391/$20,625,000

That's silly. Tom Hicks hasn't watched this team in years.

So amidst Oswalt and Lee discussions, why has Danny Haren's name not been tossed into the Ranger's rumor mill? Arizona has already announced they're going into fire-sale mode...Haren is younger, cheaper and has a better K rate than Oswalt.

Oswalt would put butts in seats.

Dan Haren has been horrible this year. He is giving up a ton of homeruns and taking this struggling pitcher who always falters in the second half of the season from the NL to the AL in the most hitter friendly ballpark in the league is going to resolve those problems? I think not.

I have a strict no-A's castoff policy. If that many guys can pitch well in that park and nowhere else except the NL JV league, then eff them.

Oswalt for Profar (sp?), Davis and a pitching prospect or two intrigues me -- especially with two more years, but Lee has proven he can do it in the AL.

If those prospects are Perez and/or Scheppers I think you'd be nuts. Kiker/Main/Beavan/Font...sure.

I am considering Scheppers to be a deadline acquisition since his promotion should be around then.

Perez is off limits unless it gets us Greinke. Of the other four, I'd do Kiker and Font without hesitation, and the other two with just a little more.

Bold prediction: We'll be up 5 by June

Things are going to pick up in the division and the Angels will not stay down forever, but I think 90 will get this done. The May and June schedule for us is (seemingly) super-soft, but the second half of July and August looks like a real beotch.

And yes, I often stare at my wall calendar wistfully at work.

Prophet?

11 and counting...

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
