RANGERS GET CLIFF LEE

its funny radio is going nuts over the trade they are so happy no joke sports radio talked about this trade for a good 5-7 hours straight

They should LOL. Here in Detroit the Tigers are in 1st place and still all they are talkin about is King James!

ya it was nice they didint talk about Lebron at all cause of the trade

He'll still be with the Yankees next year which is lame as fuck but atleast he's not with them now

probably right bobbitt

atleast Lee said all the right things at his presser, like im on a good team that is in 1st place my job is to help them and keep them there stuff like that

said he couldnt wait to join the club and be one of the guys

Every1 always says that shit! Really what he was saying was I cant wait to get the fuck out of this HEAT in Texas and go play in New York LOL. Thats a quote also!!

We get Cliff Lee, a closer, and 2.5 million for Justin Smoke and 3 prospects, (none of the prospect are our top ones) we gave up a 2nd baseman and someone else


woooohh

Bad deal for u guys if u ask me! Justin Smoke is going to be a very good 1st baseman in the future and u guys traded him for a Cliff Lee rental for 3 or 4 months. He wont resign with the Rangers so I hope u guys are prime for a World Series run this year.

Why is it a bad deal? We had Smoak and Chris Davis who at one point had more and probably still is on the same level of potential as Smoak does.. And Smoak still hasn't proved to anybody that he can actually hit right handed and his defense is sub par (ATM)

And I have no clue what you are getting at with "I hope u guys are prime for a World Series run this year" .. because evidently they are.. otherwise they wouldnt have traded for him in the first place. And if you are also insisting that this trade somehow made it to where the Rangers will be this win or bust this year you are crazy. If you know anything about the Rangers farm system you will know how deep it actually is..

We traded none of our "sure-thing" prospects, except Smoak to make this trade, and he is still replaceable.

I said that already Golbez that I didnt know about the prospects u guys gave up. He is a rental for the rest of the season and thats all. My point was a the begining of the season I heard Smoak was the next big think for the Rangers and now u guys just gave up on him after a half of a season LOL. Lee wont resign with the Rangers and if u have another highly ranked first baseman in the farm system its fine I guess but I just wouldnt have traded much to get him for a half season unless u guys are nearly positive he puts u over the top. Dont get me wrong I would have loved to have him on the Tigers also but not for what they were asking for. Rumor was they wanted Rick Porcello from us or Brennan Boetsch and there was no way I would be happy giving that for him knowing he will be a Yankee this time next year. Im not dogging the deal for the Rangers cause Im so happy the Twins didnt get him.

Lee debuts tonight cant wait

Not a very good start by Lee.

howd it go?

Complete game but gave up 6 runs and took the loss!
