Rangers Brass Showing Yu Darvish the Sights of Arlington, Shortly Before He Heads Back Home Never to Return to America Again

ARLINGTON - Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish and his father are in Arlington to take his first look at the area and get a better sense of the Texas Rangers organization. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels confirmed Darvish was in town following reports in the Japanese media that emerged Tuesday. But that does not mean an agreement is imminent. Darvish likely wants to take a look around and then let his agents, Arn Tellem and Don Nomura, meet in more detail with the Rangers before the exclusive 30-day negotiating window closes at 4 p.m. on Jan. 18.

Well, that settles it. Of all the amateur stunts JD has pulled, this has to be the worst. It's tough enough to get pitchers in this park with the jet stream and 100+ temps, but now we have the chance to sign the Asian Assassin and brain-child thinks hangin out in A-town is gonna close the deal? Lunch at the Hooters on Collins, an afternoon at Holiday in the Park and the Runaway Mine Train, tour of Jerry World, then back to Collins to Sherlock's for a Creed cover band and finest of Mansfield milfs to help sign on the dotted line? Listen Daniel's, this clown is LeBron + Bieber over there. He's used to feasting on gold-dusted sashimi served from trained panda's, with Japanima-porn on the big screens and Lucy Lui tonguing his taint. This is like Cubes taking Lamar and Chloe to Mesquite and lettin 'em go crazy at Razzoo's and the Town East Mall. Never going to win a ring like this, just another pennant.
