League News 7/29/03ARLINGTON-The Adam, SportsNight and XSBL trades seem to go well together. It starts with trades, something Texas seems to be involved in more regularly than most. As the trade deadline approached, the Rangers acquired two top pitching prospects and an outfielder. The first deal brought what league scouts rate as the fourth best prospect overall, and the second best pitching prospect in XSBL, Matt Riley, to the Rangers. Also in the deal Texas got Baltimore's first round pick which was sent to the New York Yankees in the second deal which brought Ricardo Rodriguez to Texas. Texas had to give up prized prospects Rocco Baldelli and Chad Qualls in the deals, as well as players to be named later, which are expected to be 2005 draft picks that teams cannot trade yet. A third deal sent pitching prospect Jake Peavy to Milwakee in exchange for outfielder Will Weber. Sources at CSC learned that the Rangers owner again went over the head other team officials, consulting neither Manager Turd Furgeson nor scouting director John Hart before swinging the three trades as the deadline approached. Dan Rydell, a known acquaintance of The Adam was able to break the story and score yet another big XSBL interview, keeping the fledging network one step ahead of ESPN on XSBL coverage. Never one to mince words The Adam spoke candidly. "What we have done has all be a means of improving our club. Yes, in the short term it tore our team up and we are in last place. But I really think that fans of the Rangers will be rewarded and certainly very happy in the next year or two and on through out a decade or more," the owner commented, "when you have any kind of opportunity to add starters of this caliber, you do it. Pinero, (Mario) Ramos, Riley, Rodriguez, (Jovanny) Cedeno, (John) Vanbenschotten, and everyone else we have in the system gives us the best Pitching Talent top to bottom in the league." Rydell and Douglas discussed a topics other than the trades, some excerpts: On "King's Things:" Larry King can suck me off. He comments on what my fans should do? This schmuck includes me in an article where he talks about sweat socks? He should go crawl in a hole. That is if he even wrote that. My research says its a combination of two jerkoff owners from the XSBL using a pen-name who are obviously jealous of my team's future, my general knowledge and my looks. Here's a 'King's Thing' for you jackasses...I don't know about you, but I have no intentions of going to Blockbuster and renting the Seattle and Los Angeles owners homemade porn movie when it comes out." On Oakland: "I'll tell you, I am not happy with all the moves I've made since entering this league. But when I heard about (Randy) Winn's injury, I couldn't contain myself. There goes what? $18 million he didn't have to throw away. (Oakland owner, Marc) Hallada has a better chance of getting laid this decade than Winn does of ever being a decent player again. Chavez and Tejada make more money than our entire lineup combined, and WOW, what an investment. My rookie shortstop has better stats for 1/50th of the price. Put our lineups next to each other, stats wise.. anyone who would take his is an idiot. On Toronto: He better hope that he wins this year, cause he is building his team wrong. He can't continue to spend like that. He will be in trouble in the very near future. On top of losing free agents, trading his farm system away, and everything else... whoever is left will suffer a career ending injury. On Oakland (again): His schtick about winning the World Series is getting old. He's like France, puffs his chest out only to have someone smack him around and make him submit. He probably is French. I know at the owner meetings no one wants to sit by him cause of the B.O.. On lawsuits: I don't care who sue's me. I could care less. Even if they some how are able to get money from me, I'll just go sleep with their wives and daughters. Or if they have son's I'll pay Hallada to sleep with them. On Iraq: What do Saddam Hussein and Hallada have in common? Other than homosexaualty, I mean. They both are afraid of things called "Bush." 7/29/03 ARLINGTON-Rangers owner "The" Adam Douglas is recovering today at Arlington Memorial Hospital after having to be tranquilized by federal agents outside the CSC studios after an interview Tuesday evening. Apparently after the discussion with Sportsnight's Dan Rydell, witnesses say Douglas emerged from the studio "drooling and disoriented" and muttering about Northern California. Conditions got a little more serious when Douglas started screaming obsentities and asking strangers for pitching aces. Later, he appeared at the top of Arlington city hall, brandishing a Louisville Slugger and swearing he was gonna "take care of shit himself". Whether he was alluding to assaulting fellow owner Marc Hallada or well known television commentator Larry King, goin to Iraq to take care of Sadaam Hussein, or getting his team out of the basement in the American League, is unknown, as he was picked off by an FBI tranquilizer dart before he could elaborate. Douglas was unavailable for comment Wednesday morning, but it is coming increasingly clear that he is the most colorful owner of the Texas Rangers since President George W. Bush. More on this story as it develops... 7/27/03 MINNESOTA- There are games. There are exciting games. And then there are games like the exhibition last night at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. No Tigers starter had less than two hits, and the team pounded Minnesota pitchers for 34 hits on the night, as the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins last night 28-8, in front of a crowd of 38,559 amazed Twins fans....
