Texas Rangers Spring Training

We are just over two weeks out from the start of our Texas Rangers 2012 season. What an eventful Spring!

First we can thank Yu Darvish for turning Surprise,AZ into Little Tokyo. That is a great thing for the Texas Rangers! All the extra international publicity can only help generate extra Yen Revenue. That Yen cabbage will help J.D. & Nolan ink some of the top free agents next year. Do you know who the top free agents are going to be next year? Guys like Mike Napoli & Josh Hamilton.

Speaking of Josh and Mike that brought us to an interesting debate on the Sports Daddys Podcast heard right here on BigBadSportsDaddy.com (shameless plug). If you can only keep one either Josh Hamilton or Mike Napoli which one do you resign? Hit me with your Hot Sports Opinions! Contact info below.

Nap-Nap-Winner also made another Spring Training headline. This one was involving the Texas Rangers former Ace. Mr. I can't pitch in the post season but it's not my fault like my team should have totally scored more runs. I am C.J. Wilson and you're not, so suck it.

Nap said he can't wait to hit home runs off CJ. What did CJ do as a prank? Gave out Nap's phone # on twitter. HAHAHAHAHa Real freaking funny D-Bag!CJ Wilson crossed a line and invaded Nap's privacy for no reason other than he is a little Bitch and he could! If CJ had Napoli's cell phone number and had a problem with him why not just call? Oh yeah because that is what a man would do.

I don't blame Nelly Cruz for the Rangers losing the World Series last year. I blame CJ. I would bet the truth be told no one in that locker room liked him. He was lucky they are a good group of guys and wouldn't let that get out and cause a distraction.

Then the Rangers offer him a low ball contract with no intention on resigning him. That should tell you something else about the guy. CJ have fun in LaLa Land because you are about to get a Halo Ennama courtesy of the Mike Napoli & the Texas Rangers.

Now the other thing we have learned out of Spring is Holland and Harrison are ready to be big time pitchers. I don't think I have ever seen a Rangers team so deep in pitching. There are 7 legitimate starters on this team. I am a little concerned about Neftali taking that leap from closer to starter but in Jon & Wash I trust.

There is one question about the pitching I keep asking myself over and over though. That is does Colby Lewis deserves a spot in this rotation? Yes he his an October Hero when the post season comes around. However during the season he is not much better than meh. With Ogando & Feldy in the pen it maybe a good time to start shopping Mr.Lewis. The deal Holland just got let's you know he is the future. Colby Lewis is expendable and could probably get you a nice piece in return. If I were the Rangers I deal Colby before the season starts and go with my Young Guns. I know I really like Colby too but you have to do what is best for the team.


Overall the 2012 Texas Rangers' outlook is good! So good in fact I am picking them to go back to and win, that's right WIN the 2012 World Series! If for no other reason they will do it just to spite CJ I wish I were a Valley Girl Wilson.

I am ready for some games that count! I can't wait to smell the fresh-cut grass and hot dogs grilling at the old ball game. Be very,very loud! It's Baseball Season.
Let's Go Rangers!

Where is Peyton Manning Going?

Oh yeah I have a blog. Sorry I have neglected this blog for a while but I have been tied up with life & stuff. I'm sure you can understand that. I had important stuff going on like learning how to play A Country Boy Can Survive on my guitar. Now I am back and ready to hit the ground running on BigBadSportsDaddy.com (yes I am still a master of the shameless plug).

I was thinking on my car ride over to the office in the pouring rain what I should blog about. Then it hit me! I should combine my psychic powers with my sports knowledge and let you know where Peyton Manning will wind up.


 I do kind of have a track record with these sorts of things. I mean in this very blog I correctly predicted where Michael Vick and LeBron James would call home months before they inked.

Like we did with the past two precedents we will start by eliminating the obvious. We have 32 NFL Teams and The Colts are out. Now that leaves us with 31 teams that could bring Peyton in.

Out of those 31 we can cross off another 16 easy. Peyton's brotherly love towards Eli(I have twice as many rings as he does) Manning will not allow him to come over to the NFC. No Cane and Able stuff here. Adios NFC you can have fun with the RG III race. Then there were 15.

We can cross off New England,Pittsburgh and San Diego as well, They all have franchise Signal Callers already in place. 12 AFC Teams on the Wall, 12 AFC Teams lalala......


Balt,Houston and Raider all have serviceable Quatermen at the helm. They won't make that move. That brings us to 9.

Cincy and Buffalo have young QBs they are committed to. We are down to the magnificent 7.

I'm going to go ahead and cross off Denver and the Dog Pound too. I'm taking Denver out of the mix because they are selling way to many Tebow jersey's at the moment. After all football is a business. Cleveland is out because they said they were out. They are eyeing RG III and still have Colt .45 if they don't land him.

Tennessee & Jack both used 1st rounders on their field generals last year. They are Kenny Powers and F'N out!

Deep down inside the Jets are still committed to Mark Sanchez. They don't want to tell the world yet but he is their guy. It's kind of like dating a hippo. Your lonely and you need company so you sacrifice your Friday Night to stay home and "watch movies with her" but you don't want to be seen with her in public in this lifetime. That's just gross. (Not, that I would know anything about that).

So we are left with Miami or Kansas City. Drum Roll Please..............................

Peyton Manning will sign with the Kansas City Chiefs.



They have a nice offense with Dwayne Bowe and Jamal Charles coming back from Injury. Add a healthy Peyton Manning to that mix and you have an instant AFC contender. Not to mention former NFL greats Steve Deberg,Dave Krieg,Jo Mo,Warren Moon and Brodie Croyle all wrapped up there NFL careers there. Then you throw on the fact that the Chiefs were so desperate last year they traded for Kyle Orton. Not to mention Miami smells like cuban farts, and is home to the biggest D-Bag athletes on the planet. K.C. is the only logical place for a nice guy like Peyton that makes sense.
