Baseball Thoughts, etc.
Well, before we go any further, I've been criticized twice in the past 24 hours for my view on Jason Maxiell, so I officially take back anything mean I've said about him. I also relinquish my right to analyze Cincinnati players.
OK, on to baseball, where Kenny Rogers went nuts yesterday afternoon on some cameraman from Fox Sports Southwest. You have to wonder what he was thinking, considering the fact that he probably would have been an All-Star this year. It's also surprising that everybody on the Rangers has pretty much accepted that Rogers is wrong, and is just waiting for what the commish decides to do.
I wonder if MLB has some sort of contingency plan for this, because we really haven't had incidents of this type in MLB (a la Ron Artest), and it's doubtful that they have some sort of precedent for this, other than the Albert Belle fiascos from a few years back.
The Rangers officially went nuts on the Angels today because of this, with Kevin Mench hitting three home runs and Texieira hitting two home runs. I think there were 8 total for Texas in the game. That lineup is pretty amazing from top to bottom, although there's still Rod Barajas to account for. It's too bad that their pitching staff is filled with nuts like Rogers, Chan Ho (the Karate Kid) Park, and Frank "Chairmaster" Francisco. Otherwise, they would probably be a wildcard contender- or at least a stronger wildcard contender. Is there anyway we can consider the Rangers to have almost gotten equal value for A-Rod with Soriano? Probably not, but Soriano's still a pretty scary offensive player.
Well, I'm about to get some pizza, so my Wimbledon analysis will have to wait for another time. Go Venus!!

Yes, you are now officially the tennis expert on this blog. Congratulations, you get to write all my tennis articles from now on!
I still win the Tejada/Nomar argument, though.
