MYoung hit
the first HR in Seattle. First inning, correct?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
Madrigal started one game
and Mathis started four games, AJ Murray two games and….. ???
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."

Wasn't Young second in RBI?
I cheated and looked to see who started three games…dammit, how could I forget?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
Three Rangers that struck 100+...
Hamilton, MYoung and…..CDavis?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
I'm guessing...
1) Mike Young
2) Chris Davis
3) Madrigal, Murray, Hunter, and Mathis
4) Benoit, Nippert, and Loe
5) Ian Kinsler
6) Brandon Boggs (Or maybe it just seemed like all of his hits were triples)
7) Mike Young
8) Bradley, Hamilton, and Davis?
9) Laird, and….Byrd?
10) The Electrician!
11) Bradley, Kinsler, Hamilton, Larid, and Young
12) Hmm…I will guess Harrison

Was I supposed to have
a nice neat list like ghost o’ EThompson?
Sorry, new to the reindeer game but I wouldn’t have done very well if I had to guess on everything.

I don't know if...
you were supposed to format it like me. I basically wanted to see what I could remember about each of the questions. After answering I looked up the answers and I didn’t remember all to well.

Republican or Democrat? You mean I have to pick just one? But what if I love violence AND hate liberty?
I have a love/hate thing with trivia
Because you always realize it’s stuff you should know or do know but can’t remember at the time you’re asked about it and therefore look like a dumbass. But it’s also fun as hell, so here goes my shot:
1. MY, 1st inning in Seattle, opening day that was the first Ranger run scored of the year as well, if memory serves.
2. Hmn… it’s either Cruz or Blalock. I’ll go with Nellie.
3. Mathis started 4 games I believe… AJ Murray started 2… I don’t think Hunter started more than 3 or 4… Warner Madrigal did technically make a “start” in the bullpen game.
4. Jamey Wright, Luis Mendoza… and… aaaaand… Warner Madrigal?
5. Bradley or Kinsler.
6. Kinsler or Byrd.
7 Bradley.
8. Ooof, toughie… MY, Hamilton… and Murphy.
9. This one just ain’t fair. Geez… Bradley and Murphy?
10. Jamey Wright or Josh Rupe.
11. Young and Hamilton are two… but the rest I have no idea. Murphy? Bradley? Byrd? Has to be guys who batted a lot with men on base.
12. This is slightly confusing. An error made behind him, right? Or an error made by himself? I really have no idea either way… I’ll assume it’s the former and guess Padilla.

Hey AJM
You still gonna post the answers tonight? I’m anxious to see how many I missed.
"M’s fans are such weenies." - Zywica

2) Hammerin’ Hank
3) 4…B-Mac? 3…Hunter…2…Pirate….1 Warner Madrigal out of the pen
4) Madrigal, The Electrician, Mendoza (i think his was one of those…weird saves)
5) Ian “nails” kinsler
6) tripples..hmm….Murphy?
7) Murphy again…
8) Hamilton, Laird, MY
9) Byrd and Laird
10) Electrician
11) MY, hammy, laird, byrd, bradley
12) Blue Glove Lefty
Better not win this, as an Astros fan. Most of them are going to be complete guesses.
1) Young? Thought it’d be Hamilton with the crazy shot off Putz, but I remember something about Bedard giving up a homer to the second batter he faced.
2) Chris Davis?
3) I give up on this one.
4) Some fat guy, Wright, Mendoza?
5) Kinsler?
6) Kinsler, I’m sure of it. I think.
7) 100-RBI factory. Until 07.
8) Hamilton, Young, Bradley (only because I think they had the most at-bats)
9) Bradley and Salty?
10) Matt Harrison.
11) Hamilton, Byrd, Young, Laird, Bradley.
12) McCarthy.
