PrintTexas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays, Apr 17, 2008 6:07 PM CDT
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...

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.

Over/Under on Duran Duran references?

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.

That's why we need to keep taking pitches
Get him to 120 or so and force their hand… either they’ll put in a tired reliever or we’ll hit a tired starter.
Also good is that
the Rangers have gotten a couple of runs off him… at least even if he does pitch 7 or 8 innings, the Rangers won’t be trying to overcome a 5-0 deficit or something.

That David Eckstein is soooo cheap when he was with the Angels he would go to the library to use the computer because he didn't want to buy one for himself.
funny story about Eckstein
he tried to pick up a friend of mine on a flight once. He called her three times every day for three weeks until she finally told him he was a creeper and to never call again.
thats gritty

not if your last name is Eckstein
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
do you think that's how he approaches all facets of life?
like, he takes 9 craps a day, as fast as he can, doesn’t even bother to wipe…? that’s the definition of living gritty to me

Duran's gamecast picture
Is mad ghetto, it shows him holding his bat baseball card style, not just his face.
Kind of like when you were the new kid in school and you had to get the impromptu yearbook photo and it was always a different background that everybody elses.
Low Strike Zone
Does it look that way to anyone else?
I like that as long as Padilla can keep it there.

or the Stars? I wouldn’t think we’d lose too many to the Stars on this board, but perhaps some…
Well, the games just kind of rolling along
Not much going on, so I’ve just been sitting back, googling random stuff, and keeping an eye on everyone out in Texas discussing the bad weather…

There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

Fort Worth's going to get the sirens
Any minute.
Talked to John Vittas from Lone Star Dugout…he was headed for a parking garage with a camera…lives in Bedford…
We already had sirens
They sounded them well before it’s gonna get here. According to the news FW sounds them when there’s a serious threat of hail & strong winds, not necessarily a tornado warning or touchdown.
I live in South Arlington
I think we are just going to get some heavy rain.

Well...
I grew up in Louisiana and then moved to Florida before making my way out to California. So, as you can imagine, I’ve experienced plenty of exciting weather.
I like the quiet.

Palm Springs is gorgeous at the moment..
lots of golf balls but no golf ball sized hail though, I’ll keep an eye out though

you know weather boys
there’s a game on. you guys are poster children for why people should think baseball is boring – caring more about rain than the game.
of course, this game isn’t so exciting

I’ll guess that Dallas will take some Jones/Stewart and James Hardy/Rogers-Cromartie combination.
