not at all. Mallett and Petrino are portrayed (unfairly, in my opinion) as bad guys by the national media. Hamilton is seen as a fine Christian young man that is dogged by demons out of his control. I maintain there is a bunch of sorriness and fraud in #32. Just as the Petrino doubters have been proved wrong about BP leaving Arkansas at the first chance, the truth will also come out on #32.

I have to say Mike's vendetta against Hamilton cracks me up. I have no opinion either way on the guy, but I love reading Mike's thoughts on him.

I am hoping this is the day we see the quality of play picks up for the Rangers. Josh and Nelly coming back. All it takes is some real solid win streaks. They showed us that last year. Aside from June last year the Rangers were extremely average. That is the way baseball go.
PS: I am sick of Kinsler and his play. I wonder how other teams around the league perceive him?

It will be nice to get those two back.
What is troubling is that Feliz has something wrong with him. Its almost like he's worried about injuring himself or something.

Yea something seems a little weird. Hopefully its nothing serious.
Just looked up last years season. After 50 games last year the Rangers were 26-24. They are 24-23 through 47 this year.
They were 21-6 in June last year. 69-66 the rest of the year. Crazy stuff.

Right. Right. But I'm just pointing out that a record of 24-23 right now is not something to jump off the ledge about. <----- Directed a a certain couple people that post on this board that will soon lose faith in the team.

They already have lost faith... then they'll get it back, then lose it, then get it back again.
I am not worried about their record. I just pay attention to the standings. Right now all the AL West teams are within 2 games of each other. That is all that matters.

A win streak from any team in the division will separate them from the pack. Hell, OAK or SEA could go 21-6 in June and be well on their way to a division crown. The Rangers are clearly a pretty middle of the road team. Inconsistent starting pitching, failure of a bullpen and inconsistency all the way up and down the lineup, except for MY. Thank God he's still around here.

He has been a lifesaver. That is two years in a row I have been wrong about a player on our team (Vlad in 10) and glad of it.
He did have to have a players only meeting to apologize, and he has pretty much admitted that he didn't handle himself very well. I am glad to have him right now.

I'd say that is a solid 1st AB from injury by Hamilton. HR.

I have been driving the Mitch Moreland bandwagon since last year.
As for #32, congrats on hitting your first HR on May 23. MVP-like performance.
