The Cubs may wear World Series rings before this guy does


Looks like another Boras client who thinks wearing pinstripes will automatically get him a ring. Read Gil LeBreton's column and see if you think Tex is already looking at himself in the mirror with a Yankee's cap on his head.

I like Teixeira and hope he stays with the Rangers. And I know losing gets old fast. Ask A-Rod. He figured going to NY would give him the legacy he craves. Instead it solidified the impression - right or wrong - that somehow A-Rod keeps clubs from winning in spite of the numbers he puts up. As I've heard it said, he's the MVP of 10 games out.....

And now it's sounding like Teixeira wants to join him at the stadium, especially since the Bronx Bombers look like they're in the market for a first baseman.

I was hoping Tex wouldn't get traded at the deadline. Now it's looking more and more certain that he'll be joining Sosa and Lofton and Gagne in the vets for prospects swap meet. If the Braves don't trade Salty to the Marlins for Willis I can see the Rangers looking to swap Tex for him. If not, I hope Tex knows the tune to I Love LA....
