Dude. It’s a blog. Try not to pretend this is the NY Times. It’s not like the NFL where there are injury reports. Craig didn’t realize Napoli had a yeast infection.

As a die-hard Rangers fan, why would I want the angels to “snag one of the wildcard spots”?

This is why I can’t stand reporters always trying to rush a story, just to be FIRST with a supposed scoop, or as appears to be the case here, pure speculation on the part of the reporter. This is how damaging rumors, affecting someone’s career, and by extension their livelihood, get started.

It isn’t a race, take your time getting the info the first time and you won’t have to print a correction…you know, like all of us peons are expected do in our own jobs everyday…

I get that Young has gotten more praise than he’s deserved over the years, but jesus. Does it make sports writers feel better by bashing the guy at every opportunity?

Yeah, if we’re gonna execute him, we need to do it in secret, under cover of night.

Oh, you mean all the attention period? Cause let’s face it, The Angels we’re supposed to run away with this division this year based on all the preseason hype and you guys can’t seem to make up ground no matter how good you play and how average the Rangers play. It’s August 8th and you’re still 6 games out. Yeah good luck with that. I’d worry more about catching the A’s at this point. It’s good to set goals though; maybe you can snag one of the wildcard spots.

What, in MLB The Show? Good luck with that, he’ll resign with the Rangers, no doubts on that.

I sure am loving all the Rangers-based negativity coming from HBT recently.

I think we should just calm down now.. He fixed the error… It happens, lets not publicly execute the guy.

You should probably let Aaron report on Rangers stuff, Craig. Lest you embarrass yourself with your ignorance.

And those are classy outs too.

It only feels like 10 outs

7 outs…..ugh

Technically speaking 7 outs every 10 plate appearances, walks wouldn’t count as an at-bat, nor hit by pitch, nor sacrifice flies…

Perhaps Michael is also too Young to DH…

By: lunt101

Napoli is actually out with quad soreness. Also, Michael Young is making 10 outs every ten Plate Appearances, not ABs.

Yeah, I’m that guy.

But Young is hitting .271 vs. Napoli’s .226. Duh! So obvious…

Mike Napoli will look smashing in a NY Mets uniform in 2013
