With Holland's start today, and the mostly sluggish offense in June - July, I thought we should poll Rangers' fans about their feelings on the possibility of a Halladay trade.  Keeping this one simple.  Not trying to dissect the 1-2 other players needed for the trade, but get a general feel if Rangers' fans want to see the club go for it in '09 for 2 of the top prospects in the system.

This is the offer to the Jays, they get to pick the two players.

Time warner is awful.. schedule shows the game on FSN HD, but its not playing.. a quick flip to SD, and it has the Astros starting at 7:30.  I'm about to switch to Dish or DirecTV, but I was wondering if anyone found if the games were broadcast over-the-air in Austin, as they are in Dallas?

Yankees have an aweful outfield and if Xady goes down for a while, they'll need a RH replacement.  Jones and Byrd are options, but I see the Rangers wanting to hold onto Jones until at least the trade deadline. 

Byrd enough to pull a young starter or a decent bullpen arm?

Nady may need season-ending surgery BY KAT O'BRIEN |kat.obrien@newsday.com April 16, 2009 <!-- sphereit start --> ST. PETERSBURGH, Fla. - Xavier Nady could be headed for season-ending surgery on his right elbow.

No decision will be made until after team physician Chris Ahmad examines Nady in New York Thursday. But Nady, who left Tuesday night's game here after feeling a sharp pain in his elbow, underwent an MRI Wednesday morning, and the initial diagnosis, according to Joe Girardi, is "not good."

This is awful.

TMZ has learned Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a felony hit-and-run car accident in Fullerton, California early this morning -- hours after he pitched in a game last night.

Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light, causing the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in to hit a light pole. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick.

Cops say the person driving the van fled the scene -- but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run. The suspect is currently being treated for injuries in a local hospital.

Jerry Jones completely missed the boat when it came to retaining coaches that Parcells brought in.  Jerry brought in Parcells, b/c he was a 'football guy' and a great talent evaluator-- for both players and coaches.   Jerry needs another 'football guy' in the mold of a Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcells.

Jason Garrett was granted permission to talk to the Lions about their head coaching opportunity, and an ESPN report mentions Cowher interested in talking to the Jets.  How does Jerry not let Jason walk, fire Wade, and give the reins to Cowher? 

The window is now for this group of players, if Jerry screws this up, we are looking at another 10 years of misery.

Interesting line in the TR article about Randy Johnson..  maybe this clears up the "why?" behind bringing Conner back.

Johnson is also close to Mark Connor, the Rangers' former pitching coach who is still with the organization as a consultant.
