I did the same thing to mine..
well actually someone drove by and knocked it off.. I epoxed it and taped it and months later its still holding strong. tape it to the side of the car so it doesn’t dangle until you have the time to epoxy it and let it dry.

The Astros have finally moved him out of the leadoff spot. He’s batting 8th tonight.

hasnt started throwing yet
and wont for several weeks.
then he will have to regain strength and rehab again.
best case scenario is the all star break.

I watched Danks pitch deep into the game
vs LAA the other night. sigh – the athleticism, the focus, the competitiveness, the mound presence all blew BMac’s bag outta the water. Wonder if we’ll ever see outta BMac what J.D.’s scouts thought they’d see.

Beavan
gave up 2 runs in the 1st on a triple and a HR. Does anyone know how hard he’s throwing this year? How’s that “nasty slider” looking?
by Butters on May 16, 2008 6:59 PM CDT 0 recs
So Lewin just said Berkman's production is surpassed by Hamilton.
Yeah yeah, home announcers have to be rah rah for the home team, but I still thought that was funny.
by philkid3 on May 16, 2008 7:03 PM CDT 0 recs
Well
he’s right. He has produced more runs than Berkman has…by one.

Wait, he was defining production as RBI?

So, the umps had to make Ponson wait
to throw the first pitch. It’s great having a fast working pitcher.
Always wondered what it was like

That’s a shitty movie. If they can pretend that the first Hulk movie didn’t exist, surely they can do the same with He-Man.

I expect this team to take a lead each game now and it just keeps on happening.
Crazy.

Nadel talks about this all the time...
...the Rangers have greatly outscored their opponents in the first inning this year.
last year, it was the other way around.

with early inning runs and a lead. Exactly opposite of last season

+.5
But it was the player’s that decided that their play had improve, when you would that the inspiration would come the managerial/coaching staff. Of course that is if you believe Evan Grant’s about the 4/25 players only meeting.

the Rangers are taking more pitches per at-bat...
...and infield practice before games…
only 3 errors on that West Coast trip… in 7 games… not great, but better than what it was.
i think that’s a reflection on coaching.

I still think it shows that the Players don’t respect Wash, or that he is not capable of getting them fired up. Not saying Wash is a bad coach, he is not management material.
