I've been thinking the same about Higgy and possibility of playing first. They need better options there that at least add some kind of batting threat.

Too bad they couldn't get a lead while Garcia was unavailable. That's the way baseball suck.

If this hasn't ended Garcia's reign of non-closing, I fucking give up.

This is good fun until Garcia comes in to close it out.

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
This was a somewhat prophetic quote from an article posted on USA Today Cowboyswire the other day, via The Athletic History says Cowboys will get Micah Parsons deal done — but when? :: The Athletic Link “He’s getting paid,” Jerry Jones said of his star edge rusher. “He gets about $20-some million right now. And that’s a pretty easy $20 million standing there watching practice." But the longer this goes on, the tougher it will be for Parsons to stay on the sideline and not talk to reporters. In some ways, he’s like the Jerry Jones of players; he enjoys the media side of the job. What gets said- by both parties- in the meantime may prove to be the most interesting part of this standoff.

Always a Cowboys fan, never a bandwagon jumper. That shit is for the weak. I'll root for some teams secondarily when I like something about them, but never as a replacement. Otherwise, I don't see the purpose in watching sports if you don't have emotional ties. It doesn't mean I have had any expectations over the past 30 years, other than expecting Jerry to be Jerry and having to deal with it.

Last night's loss sucked, but for me it wasn't as bad as the previous one, when they just played like shit the whole game. I already knew when Maton came out for the 8th that it was going to come down to Garcia in the 9th and it likely wouldn't go well. I was totally prepared for that eventuality. The number one thing the Rangers needed to fix, didn't get fixed. Bochy needs to get over that crush and move on to finding who has the stomach for it.

Regular Garcia is back, unfortunately. He's not a closer.

Rangers should really get double-runs for getting those fatasses around all them bases.

All Jerry had to do was keep his fucking mouth shut.

Roger Goodell ain't gonna rig the draft to give the Cowboys the first pick.

Jerry won' trade him until they have no choice. Parson's has a lot of mood swings and says a lot of shit. The feeling may not last, or maybe it was a bargaining tool to hasten serious negotiations. Either way, Jerry will go into the season levying fines or whatever until it's a lost cause before giving up on this one. Ain't no trade going to compensate for his value, especially if it is on picks they will fuck up. Can't blame Parsons for the frustration, but this has been the way Jerry go. Jerry might have screwed the pooch on this one. You don't fuck around with HOF talent in mid career to this extent. But I have a feeling there will be a deal, hopefully sooner than later.

OK, I like this new pitcher guy. His bio says he's 6-1, 170. I'm thinking that could be a bit outdated,

Suddenly, I am far less encouraged. Team looks more like May June Rangers. They look like dogshit tonight.

Neat additions. Nice committee of bullpen arms. Even if one of them doesn't grab that legit closer role and kick ass with it, gives them a deep group of quality dudes. I still don't see Garcia lasting as a pure man dawg closer, though his last couple of outings looked good. Starters give them the opportunity to mix and match sort of a 6-man thing where they can give the older guys managing issues some extra rest days when needed. It will be interesting to see where Rocker and Leiter end up fitting in the next few weeks. It is possible both could stay up, but that's a lot of arms to manage on the roster.
