Memo to Bronson Arroyo: You are white.

Is there anything worse than not playing a player against your hometown team & then having that player totally excel? So then your team loses AND you didn't even get the fantasy points out of it. Is soooo depressing & predictable.

So Arroyo, who was wearing cornrolls in an effort to look as much as possible like the White Ghetto Baseball Dork From Outer Space, ended up going 7 innings & picking up the win & the Rangers get swept. By the way, it appears the only people in the entire world who are still in denial over the face that the Rangers are so far out of the playoff race, they can't even see where the race is anymore, is the management.

Buck's still talking about how he expects Richard Hidalgo to be back before the end of the season. Dear God, WHY? There is no reason to this madness. We are out of the race! It's over! Why waste a spot in the lineup on that spare when you can plug in a young kid to see what you've got? I know! I stuck with that loser on my roster for way too long at the beginning of the season, just waiting for the promised hot streak, waiting & waiting & eventually beginning to fantasize about sneaking into the Ballpark one day, grabbing Hidalgo when no one's looking, backing him against a wall & screaming at him, "WHY?!? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?"

But probably the police wouldn't understand when I explained about how I wasted a 15th round on him & his huge bag of nothing.

Coco Cordero still hasn't had a save yet this month & his appearances are starting to get further & further apart & it makes me ANGRY!

If you take a good solid look at David DeJesus's stats & realize that just a week ago, I was starting him regularly in the outfield, you will understand why I'm so far back in this league.

Against my better judgment, I'm letting Maddux start tomorrow against St. Louis. Hey, he's got good career numbers against them! And if you ignore the 6 runs he allowed against Arizona, he actually hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in his last 6 starts!

You're right. He's going to get smashed.
