cat still hitting fifth

ahead of Byrd and Wilkerson.

And JHJ batting second.

I don't get it.

Talk about a guy

that has no reason of being on this team. JHJ must have some pictures of Wash in a compromizing position. It seems like he plays every day and even before the injuries.

And he's useless.

hairston

while i'm no hairston fan, i don't think he's bad for what he is... a utility guy, he just gets way overexposed when used too much.

i'm just glad we've been seeing byrd more than hairston in the outfield.

i really need to upgrade to directv hd (and be sucked into a new contract) or get timewarner hd... as it is i only get over the air hd and i think the rangers were only in hd once on fox

HD are the only channels i even check

when i look whats on cable.

for the longest time i had timewarner cable, which didnt have FSN HD, didnt have ESPN2 HD, didnt have NFLnetwork HD, didnt have various other HD Channels so even when the rare ranger game was in HD i didnt get it.

switched over to fios tv recently and its got all of that, much nicer. never looked at direct hd though.

by DShep on Jul 4, 2007 7:24 PM CDT up reply actions

fios

thats one reason im reluctant to re-up with directv to get hd... i'm moving in a few months and i'm hoping to move somewhere that gets fios

if timewarner doesnt have fsn hd or espn 1-2 hd then im not wasting my money with them

Kiker tonight

6 IP, 0 R, 7 K, 0 BB. Done, with a pitch count in the low 90s. Still hitting 90+ on the gun in the 6th, and struck out the last guy he faced on a curve.

Galaragga just lost a no-hitter in the 6th. No runs, 6 K's, 1 BB through 6. Steve Murphy's solo homer is the only run of the game.

i bet hes here the first game after the all star b

break.

i dont care how they do it, but get him up.

lets see...

options...

RW refuses to play Diaz, may as well send him down, then let botts play left some and DH some. cat loses out and gets less playing time.
trade/DFA sosa
trade lofton while his value is up, move byrd to center, use botts in the open roster spot

what else.....

If he

doesn't get promoted RIGHT after the All Star Break, I am on the Fire JD bandwagon

diaz

thats what i was saying the other day, send diaz down and bring up botts... then again if they never play diaz why would botts be any different? just another guy they never use

why does hairston have a bad rep defensively anywa

ive never seem him look bad out there at any position. but hes referred to as a bad ss, bad outfielder etc....

im not proposing hes a gold glover or anything of course, but he seems competant.

several nice plays today getting the lead runner and a diving play there.

awful hitter though. i wish he would stop trying to hit for power.

hairston

Like i said above, the guy's not bad for what he is... a utility infielder. but he can get overexposed used too often, and i just dont buy him as a centerfielder.

That was the suspended game

from Friday, I believe. There was a 90+ minute rain delay, and Edinson didn't come back out. They finished that one (rather quickly, with Kevin Richardson hitting a walkoff in the first AB after the restart) today.

Yeah, they will overpay for relief pitching this year. Book it. And, they might be willing to give up something for Jamey Wright as well...

SIR...

...i don't care about contending. i don't even care about winning. ...don't give a shit about the trade rumors... don't care about any of that.

what i do care about is my hometown team playing good baseball. and we're doing that.

great defense, good quality starts, good clutch hitting.

Happy

is good! They're playing good ball!

It shows

that with good pitching and defense, a team doesn't need a line-up full of sluggers to win.

This is a concept, for some reason, has been difficult to put into practice with this franchise.

Totally agree!

So no trade talk UNLESS it involves a pitcher!
Hitters are a dime-a-dozen! Byrd, Wilk, Sammy...all of them are doing great. But they aren't winning these games...the pitching is!
Please clue-in JD...cuz he don't got one!
