Just read this over at lonestarball.com. I agree with Adam.
Josh, most Rangers fans aren’t rooting for Sammy Sosa not to hit homers right now, so that #600 will be at home. Get his 600 ASAP, have the celebration, then DFA him so we can bring Botts up. Is it possible to DFA someone in the game during the game? I say we do it as soon as he crosses home plate after #600.
THAT is what Ranger fans are rooting for. In fact, get your two home runs tomorrow night in Pittsburgh, and you can leave him behind at Primanti Brothers in the Strip District.
I think what Josh meant to say is that the Rangers management wants Sosa to not hit home runs and then hit two at home vs the Cubs so we can sell more tickets. THAT is what he really meant to say. I can see why Josh would confuse Ranger management and Ranger fans. It’s a pretty easy mistake to make.
I don’t want that. I don’t even know who Botts is. If he’s so great, why hasn’t he been brought to the team already, replacing someone who hasn’t produced much of anything, unlike Sosa who is leading the team in RBI?
