Byrd...
will be back soon. Good to see Murphy get a day off, he needed it.
I believe that should say Kinsler at 2B.
I really want another series victory. Come on Rangers.

Laird
Should not be in the lineup today.
He is 1-13 career against Bedard, and Salty showed some flashes of breaking out of his slump yesterday.

Oh, and WTF is up with German Duran in RF?
Does Brandon Boggs not have the arm to play there or something? I can see Duran in LF, but RF… maybe that’s a typo or something.

He’s a shitty manager, whether we win or lose. I’ve always maintained that.

Boggs in LF
He’s got a lot more range, and generally, with the big left field out there, managers since TBIA opened have wanted the better defender to play left. The exception is when the guy with less range doesn’t have the arm to handle RF (see, i.e., the Cat).

every time I see a bat shatter and stick into the ground around 3rd base like a javelin, I think it’s not gonna be long before someone takes one of those in the leg or the chest. The maple bats aren’t helping anything and they need to go.

Kinsler needs to stop arguing about called 3rd strikes and learn to protect the plate
he argues everytime… he’s already been ejected once and if he’s not careful he’s gonna get a reputation and not get tossed quicker and quicker each time…

Really, he is very good as far as range. I think he has a little Keens in him…he makes excellent plays at times, but goofs the easy stuff occaisionally.

the difference
between bloodrayne, ecks vs sever and transporter 2 is that bloodrayne is 100% bad.
ecks vs sever has cheese and a hot asian chick.
transporter 2 stars one of the coolest movie stars.
bloodrayne is just possibly the worst movie ever made with no redeeming value.
