Milly and Fuki...

Millwood to the DL and Fukomori off the 40 man after clearing waivers per DMN

by richardtodd on May 11, 2008 1:15 PM CDT   0 recs

I didn't even know

they waived Fukomori. Nice to open up another slot on the 40. Them slots be precious.

Dunno

just announce by EG@12:57.

Goody! Goody!

...it's the weekend, so why the hell not?

Fuki

not surprised he cleared waivers. I am pretty sure that the other GM’s look at the Waiver Wire and say, “if the Rangers can’t use him then there is no way my team needs him.”

I soloed in the mile high club.

I'm glad no one picked him up

It’s way too early to give up on him, imo.

by Butters on May 11, 2008 1:24 PM CDT   0 recs

Fuki

what is Fuki’s ERA this year? isn’t it in the double digit areas now?

by Sr Horsedooty on May 11, 2008 1:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it's over 20

but he’s only pitched 4 innings. He’s done well at OKC though. 0.71 WHIP with almost a strike out per.

by Butters on May 11, 2008 1:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it is over 20

could he be considered another AAAA player that the Rangers have signed?

small sample

I don’t think we have any idea what he is yet.

...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git.

by t ball on May 11, 2008 1:50 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I think we know

that his stuff is below average.

We don’t know whether he can make up for it, consistently, through deception or what have you.

Halos...

losing to the Rays 3-1 in the 3rd.

How nice would it be to see the Halos and M’s swept while the Rangers sweep the A’s.

Oh and the M’s have lost 10 of their last 11 games and LL is on meltdown. That’s too bad.

Lineup

It’s too bad Blalock is hurt. We could have a nice lineup now if he wasn’t injured.

--Brian

by BCanfield on May 11, 2008 1:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

replace Vasquez...

with Hank and that may be the best lineup we can put out there for awhile.

Harden

SF Gate says he’s on a pitch count of 80 today. Rangers better be working them counts.

Did you know that...

Gerald Laird has an ice cream addiction. That he’s been known to polish off a half gallon at a time. That’s according to the Mariners announcers. I don’t know where they get this stuff, press kit? So it’s not donuts after all.

eats a half gallon 2 hours before a game

then works it off on the treadmill (although it doesn’t exactly work like that).

So apprently only 21 catchers have lead off a game in the last 40 years.

And the As have had a catcher primarily lead off for three straight seasons.

Useless trivia FTW.

dont think there was an era above 3 before facing the rangers…

this game would feel a lot less lost if it wasnt harden back from the dl.
