What's up so far...

  • So… I take Trinity to upset Southlake Carroll (WRONG!)
  • Mavs outlast the Spurs in a game that goes to the wire (RIGHT!)
  • Cowboys win on Thanksgiving (RIGHT!)
  • SGP knocks out Heritage (WRONG!)
  • Rangers sign Zito (JURY STILL OUT...)

I was wrong... bairly. SL Carroll won with 38 seconds to go in the fourth 22-21. Mavs did beat the Spurs in a game that went to the wire. The Cowboys DID win on Thanksgiving. SGP lost to Heritage, pending some kind of unheard football miracle that could post up 28 points in a couple nano-seconds. So... I no longer care about High School football in Texas. SGP is out, and so am I. Still, plenty of things to check out with baseball, because it is the sport that never ends in my little corner of the world. I put up a list of pitchers that are still free agents... I am interested in a few, and I will explain why in the next few days. I already did homework on one of them and I think he would be a PERFECT fit here in Arlington with the Rangers. And his ERA is a sloppy one, but that would change in this park, for two reasons: He's played behind a horrible defense and he's a ground-ball pitcher. Ameriquest Field is built for ground-ball pitchers and thus requires a great infield defense. You want to know this guy's name?

No, but I might look into him too, since you broght him up. He's pitched for the Rangers before...

he pitched for the D'Backs too, and wasn't impressive. IIRC, we had trouble getting enuf innings per start out of him.

BTW, the 27 January 2007 date for your top posting was fooling me into thinking you hadn't been posting for a while. i shooda paid more attention.
