When asked to pitch a third inning of relief-the bullpen was short handed-Oswalt said no.

What a tool. I'm SO GLAD we didn't bow down to this "ACE" with a ERA over 6.

I can't imagine the Rangers being very happy with him, LOL.

he probably did them a favor by not pitching!!! Even if they were short handed... hes awful

Instantly

He gone.

why so he can just earn money the easy way??? Just release him then

forget the DL list. he needs to go on the DB list. the cry baby should have just stayed "retired".

I blame Yu Darvish.

Not going to lie, I've loved every minute of the demise of Roy Oswalt. I love even more watching the Rangers make stupid moves.

Ryan Dempster, you're up next.

Lol!

<Stupid moves>

Besides Oswalt, most of the moves have panned out for them. Oswalt stunk. Hence they went out and got Dempster

Darvish has been getting lit up lately and has an ERA north of Porcello. Not that CJ is Cy Young...

what i would do.. is simple
teach him a lesson.. put him in game for the full 9 inning.. the bullpen is tired. he has to take one for the team.. and IF the rangers are getting pounded.. you dont pull him. you allow him to look like a fool..and when he comes up for contract ( if he does) nobody is going to sign a head case..( well maybe boston but that is another story)
9 inning work 48 runs against.. 3 ks.. i think that would send a message.. dont you think....if he refuses to go out you suspend him...a suspended player does not get paid.. correct?

I see that now that word is out, he's "cleared the air" with Washington. I bet there is still a foul stench in the air in Texas.

Also, he has whining about having thrown 200 pitches in a week. Real men don't count every pitch they've thrown, I'm sorry. What a pv$$y.

Nolan Ryan once threw 250 pitches in a 15 inning game and got the complete game victory.

Oswalt is a weeny and I'm glad we stayed away from C Wilson.

I didn't realize that a player under contract and is healthy can refuse to play. But evidently they can. Hmmmm.

Yep. Didn't want Wilson, and so glad that <pansy Oswalt didn't want to pitch in Detroit.

No one would like him right now. No one.

Roy gave Texas a solid 1.1 IP of relief tonight. Gavd up 4 earned.

he was insane to sign with an AL team.

Should get our chance to show the primadonna he should have stayed on the farm-monday to wednesday.
