    Player Ponson Leaving Texas

    Citing a lack of respect for teammates and the club, the Rangers suddenly severed ties with No. 3 starter Sidney Ponson on Friday.

    General manager Jon Daniels declined to reveal specific reasons for the decision to designate Ponson for assignment to make room for Vicente Padilla, who was activated from the bereavement list. The Rangers have 10 days to release or trade Ponson.

    "He had disrespectful and adverse reactions to situations that were unbecoming of a teammate," Daniels said. "We want guys who want to be here. We're trying to put together a team here, and based on some comments and reactions, he didn't want to be part of that. That's not something we're going to tolerate."

    According to multiple club sources, the situation had been bubbling for days and came to a head in the last two days over a disagreement in Ponson's pitching schedule.

    They should start a statement like, That is Just Ponson being Ponson. He must be a total ass.

    Sounds perfect for the royals.



    Perhaps the rangers should replace him with.. ....JOSE LIMA!

    Maybe he was partying too much.

    Some team will take a chance on him. Tigers just lost Bondermon for the year and the Indians lost Westbrook.
