Hello?.....is the old Mr. Blalock from 1st half still here?

[Mugrila]

i have tex and blalock on my squad. I lucked into tex. I benched blalock today and moved hafner to first, tex to third and played cliff floyd instead. sad.

sounds a lot like my team, blalock on the bench, tex at 3rd, hafner at 1st but i have hunter at util so that turned out good.

Many inside and outside the Rangers' organization suspect that Hank Blalock is tired, and needs some time off.
He is hitting only .151 since the All-Star break and according to one AL scout "it looks like he's swinging a 50-pound bat". Blalock is the only Texas player to appear in every game this season.

If only benching him in fantasy could give him real-life rest.

\ then give him some time, dude played all of last year, & wasnt this Horrid down the stretch, rets him a few days , damnit

well apparently it is everyone except bucky and blalock himself who suspect this, as if his diminishing production isn't a big enough sign.

what is going on here? take a couple of days off, get your head straight and start hitting like we all know you can hammerin hank!!
