That funky motion Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 per rotoworld Rangers signed catcher-infielder Jamie Burke to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. Burke should get himself a World Series ring after going 0-for-1 in six days with the White Sox in May. He spent far more of 2004 on the club's roster and hit .333/.386/.408 in 120 AB. The Rangers don't figure to carry the 34-year-old as a bench player, but he's a rather handy guy to have stashed away in Triple-A. Nov. 3 - 4:19 pm et They must like our old catchers.

Rowand44 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 This probably belongs in ATH but I understand why you put it in here. Anyways, I wish Jamie nothing but the best, I really hope he gets an opportunity there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Still curious as to why he wasn't called up in September, but thats all in the past. I do with him luck in Texas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Josh Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Burke was pretty much the Crash Davis of the Sox. A guy who just hung around in the Minors and than when he gets his shot he made the most of it. Cool story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Casanova lives right next to a Sox coach, so that helps, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that was a f***ing bush play to the day. I got so pissed when Thriller didnt drill Hunter right in the f***in back after that. Meh, so be it. Sox won this year, Twins didn't. I'm cool.

I never saw the f***ing play. Either way I still hate Hunter even after we've won it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that incident, everything went down the drain. Though this year makes up for all of that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
