Tim Stanford couldn't buy me a beer even if he wanted to Michael Ballard was admirable in his first Triple A start: 6 IP - 6 hits - 3 runs - 1 walk - 5 K . Jamey Newberg made this excellent point: The solution to a new, veteran arm for the bullpen may already be here in Kiko Calero insteading of spending prospects to get someone. He's been solid in OKC with a 3.60 ERA in 5 IP. Five hits ...

Tom Hicks and George Gillett: Better days Today, Time magazine came out with their list of the worst and best sports executives . And it sucks. It's arguably the worst list of all time although this one might have something to say about it. For one, there's no known criteria. This is essentially the list's explanation: From brilliant trades and shrewd marketing ideas to referee scandals ...

Juan Pierre and his mustache: What's not to love? Lost dogs are the ones that nobody loves. They roam street to street, alley to alley looking for the next ear rub or meal. They have no real home except for the eave or doorway that they're not chased out of next. Baseball has many lost dogs. Guys that no matter what they do they're always being rumored to be traded or release. Or they wind ...

Kason Gabbard: If nothing else, he gets the groundball Since the Ballpark in Arlington in 1994 fans have been told one thing: The Rangers must find groundball out pitchers. Why? Because the Ballpark allegedly has an incredible jet stream flowing out into the outfield, thus there is a tendency for many home runs to be hit. The point is to bring in pitchers who either A) strike batters out ...

Marlon Byrd: Mets kicking the tires Rumor-wise, it's a bit quiet on the Texas Rangers side of things. I mean, it's about nine days before the trade deadline and there isn't a cotton-picking rumor on the Internet anywhere. What good is the Internet if there are no hot-stove rumors about your favorite team? Oh yeah. Porn. Nonetheless, the Rangers over the past two years have always kept ...

There's a new rumor swirling around the Dallas Mavericks. Have the Atlanta Hawks sign Josh Smith and then trade him to the Dallas Mavericks for Josh Howard. First of all, it's worth noting that this blog supports trading Howard by whatever means necessarily. It is also this blog's stance that Smith is a pretty incredible player. Look at this way: Smith plays above the rim; Howard plays at ...

Scooter Feldman: Just getting it done, whatever "it" is The thing about Scott Feldman is that nobody knows where he belongs, but when the Texas Rangers need a spot start, when they need someone to eat six or seven innings or when they need to shut down a quality offense, he's there. Somehow. I don't know how because he walks many and strikes out few. But when you get double-digit ...

Jeremy Shockey: Thinking Bill Parcells is a homo since 2003 Two days, two trades, two dramatic sea changes in the NFC East. It's going to be a very intriguing year. A day after the Washington Redskins traded for electric sex defensive end Jason Taylor, the New York Giants traded cocky tight end Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints for a second- and fifth-round 2009 draft pick. It's ...

Paddy Harrington and his Claret Jug Another July weekend and another mesmerizing British Open. It's the best -- in my mind -- golf tournament in the world and definitely a top 5 stop-down, switch on the TV and watch every second sports TV. The great thing about the British Open, in this regard, is that the coverage begins at 8 a.m. so you're done by noon or so and you can catch baseball or ...

Making love to the camera Sexpot defensive end Jason Taylor is a Washington Redskin . All thanks to a trade between the NFC East bunkmates and the Miami Dolphins, who's been itching to trade their best defender since Bill Parcells was named Emperor of the franchise. The Dolphins got a second round draft pick in 2009 and a sixth rounder in 2010. See: Not very much. However, that's are ...

After a week screwing up Bob Sturm's blog, I'm back full-time at Uwe Blog getting everything wrong and making the most ridiculous statements and predictions as it's related to Dallas sports. Again, many thanks to Sports Bob for allowing me to co-host his baby last week.

Vicente Padilla: Who knew? I've spent about 12 hours attempting to build some analogy for the Texas Rangers weekend. It was two ass-whoopings. A total: 11 hits, 3 runs. An impotent offense that looks lost, out of control and completely out of sync. Then Sunday. Vicente Padilla comes off the DL and simply dominates the Minnesota Twins for a 1-0 win . Vicente flippin' Padilla rolling in and ...

Yesterday , I assumed that I was important and pretended to be Jon Daniels, general manager for the Texas Rangers. In that post, I mentioned that the Rangers are at home for a majority of the remaining 60-odd games. The funny thing: The first nine games after the All-Star break, starting tonight in Minnesota, are on the road. That means after this road trip, the Rangers will have 57 ...

Good luck with all that If you've wondered where Greg Norman's been over the years he's been hiding out, waiting for Tiger Woods to sustain a major knee injury and have to sit out the rest of the 2008 PGA tour. That's where. Of course, it makes sense. All of the pundits have been saying that Tiger's absence could open the door for a number of players. You know, Geoff Ogilvie, Adam Scott, ...

WTF? The Dallas Mavericks are in the headlines: They've offered Jerry Stackhouse and Brandon Bass for psycho Ron Artest . This is a fabulous deal and I hope the Kings take it. It allows the Mavs to move one old body (Stack), his dumb contract and Bass, who's a fine player, but he doesn't fit anywhere. He's too small to cover power forwards and too big to cover small forwards. He's an odd, ...

GM Jon Daniels: Seeking divine intervention I'm going to go ahead and play the role of Texas Rangers general manager. Or maybe, just maybe, Jon Daniels himself is so flippin' bored and he's already perused Pitchfork and TMZ and he's moved on to this blog. Extremely, extremely doubtful. Nonetheless, decisions need to be made. I'm the kind of dude that can do it (assuming it's with no ...
