Game 16 game day thread
Texas @ Toronto
Some big questions for tonight's game...can the Rangers win 2 in a row? Can Josh Lewin avoid making any "Duran Duran" jokes with German Duran playing third base? Can Ron Washington leave Jason Botts in for an entire game? Can Vicente Padilla throw 150 pitches, if need be (given that Josh Rupe is the only fresh arm in the pen)?
Vicente Padilla v. Roy Halladay...
Go Rangers...

You know
That Lewin can’t resist it, and I wouldn’t want him to—it’s part of his charm.

Yeah,
Vegas isn’t even taking bets on a Duran Duran reference

The Reflex
and Hungry like the Wolf will both be referenced in this game. I’m not sure Lewin can find a way to sneak in a reference to Rio or A View to a KIll but I’m sure he will try.

Good to see Duran- Botts
but Halladay is nasty when he is on so I am not too excited.

Hits
We might scratch across 3 or 4 hits, maybe even an unearned run late.

so Fox knows the game starts at 6:05, right?
there’s boxing on right now on FSSW…

Yeah, same here ...
They had boxing on instead of “Rangers Live” as well. This reallly pisses me off, Time Warner is always doing this shit because they think nobody cares about the Rangers down here. I’m going to call them (yet again) right now.

FSN is lucky I even watch there crappy ass channel that is managed by a bunch of fucking monkeys.
Someone better get fired over this.

it is bad enough that their picture always blows, no matter what sport. Then the only original programming they have is the Best Damn Sports Show, which is quite possibly the worst show on TV.

My prediction:
Vinny Beaner gets ejected in the 1st inning. Mendoza is called upon, giving the Rangers a great start that is lost only when Broussard is brought in to close the game.
