Fuck....I keep making the mistake of reading ESPN and it just ends up making me really mad each time. Those guys are such a beating.

On another note, I just learned that my favorite band of all time, alter bridge, is comin to dallas in april. I've seen them live 5 times lol They are the same members of Creed, except with a new singer. They performed at the home run derby in detroit in 05 when bobby abreu went off. Lets see if anyone remembers that day!

I would almost rather ask someone to just kick me in the groin than go over there and read some of that garbage

Yikes....Anything associated with Creed is awful.

It's nothing but butt hurt over not signing McCann. Bennie is convinced that JD cannot sign a top flight free agent. Not even sure what the fuck that means, but he just says it over and over.

They've let it be known that they dont want anything to do with creed anymore because they're done with them. The new singer is pretty incredible! So good that he also sings on the side with slash on his records. Slash recruited him to be the new axl rose

Their newer stuff is better than anything that Scott Stapp touched, but idk just seems too generic wanna be metal to me.

I'd say Beltre was a top flight free agent. While a little different situation and circumstance how about Yu Darvish? He hasn't had the need to sign that many. Bennie is one interesting character.

Joe Nathan could be included as well considering what his track record was and what he was actually able to produce in his 2 seasons here.

Ya, it just depends what your preferences are. But I'm a die hard. The lyrics and vocals are just incredible

Not the biggest fan of Creed but there's a couple of their songs I do like.

Why I love JD. Sign Nathan and 2 years of max value out of him. Other gms? They sign Papelbohn and are stuck with him.

@JeffWilson_FWST: #Rangers have met with Nelson Cruz's agent today, said a source. Orioles, Mariners also involved, but no team has made a formal offer.

The Rangers met with Cruz's agents today, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney, who adds that a second meeting could take place tonight. The Rangers want Cruz back in Texas, Olney adds.

Well if he turned down 1/14, then he's obviously looking for 3 or 4 years.

Auto refresh would sure help. But at least we have it from two different sources.

 

[Bmurph]

Maybe Cruz will be back after all

C'mon JD and get it done.

Bennie seems to complain non-stop

Sometimes a player needs to realize that there is something about how they fit in with a specific team. They are comfortable and relaxed and have had things go well for them with that team. And then they get big headed and go somewhere else and they struggle. I think Cruz would be that kind of a player. It would be very unwise for him to not stay with the Rangers. A team that stuck with him multiple times sending him down to get straightened out and calling him back up and then forgiving him at the end of his suspension and bringing him back for the play-in game.

No problem, Wastin. There's never enough sources.
