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.

is making you look bad right now.

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).

Let's hope today goes better than yesterday....
I’m sunburned from taking my mom to the game yesterday and stayed through most of it since they were putting up a fight. The ending sucked though!!!!!!
GO RANGERS!!!!

Red Sox DFA’s Julian Tavarez. I wonder what will happen to old Hatchet Face? I’d be suprised if he cleared. His 2008 option is only $3.85 MM.
What happened to my old signature?

My Guess
Is that he’d probably be tossed after the first HBP considering what happened the last time these two played.

Really?
I think VP has a reputation for beaning some folks but also a reputation for simply pitching inside. I hope he doesn’t shy away from the inside just because he might be tossed.

Duran RF
I’m not all that pleased with Duran in RF, but what does this say about Bradley’s health? He played 5 of his first 18 games in the field, but only 2 of the last 16. Did he go back into the field to early?

And some crappy defense, a crappy HR, and a crappy Padilla so far? Maybe that is a kneejerk reaction, but it’s one I have hard time not making.
