I can't believe it. What is going on. The world has been turned upside down on me. The sox look awful. Perhaps their worst perforance since 2002. Personnel has to re-evaluated, particularly the pitching. I would rather see moves right now for next year than band aid this year at the sake of the future. The Sox really only have 2 starting pitchers and the bullpen has been shaky all year. Hitting has also been fairly anemic. I was not a big fan of losing Ramirez as he was and is the best hitter in baseball.
Sometimes you have to deal with the weirdness of Martinez but you get so much more positive. I just can't believe that his departure has helped the Sox in anyway. But I digress. It's time for Theo to look towards 2010 and 2011 for a championship. Any attempt at somthing sooner will be futile.

Where is the love for the Rangers
I know they are not the perennial World Series team but they have been quietly becoming a team to talk about the last couple of years. For the last couple of years their hitting has been phenomenal and the pitching an eye sore. This year the pitching is what has kept them in the hunt, and yes they are in the hunt. They are beginning to perform like a team with the right direction. Perhaps it was the biggest off season move last year when the Rangers signed Nolan Ryan. He is a leader and always has been. You can see his leadership and professionalism in the way the team and its players carries themselves now. Nolan's walking around the front office with that, I'm a winner, stride is contagious. If the Rangers can jut get the bats going with a little more consistency they would be all over the Angels.
Texas Ranger fans should be thrilled right now because the Rangers are usually a secondary headline in August because, 1) they're not in the hunt and 2) Cowboys training camp has started. That is not the case this year and deservedly so. The Rangers have some really talented young pitching that is starting to come into form. If Nolan can get the team to spend a bit on keeping top talent they have a formula for success.
