That's fine

let him rest that hip flexor. Let’s see what Borat can do in the hole.

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

Borat?

I guess all brown people just look the same to you

Have you seen Vazquez's 'stache?

It’s kind of an ongoing LSB joke. Him and Catalanotto both have rediculous chin hair:

It’s just something we make light of, it’s not some racial bias deal.

Alright

Just came off as a bit racist to me, guess it wasn’t, don’t worry about it

Dont worry

Even though they look similar, nobody here trusts brown people.

AJ Murray

I remember seeing something about him heading back to OKC to make room for Gabbard. I’ll try to find the link.

Here it is:

Link

The Rangers are getting Kason Gabbard back. He is coming off the disabled list on Thursday to pitch against the Mariners. Left-hander A.J. Murray is expected to be sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma on Thursday after making just one start for the Rangers. Murray beat the Athletics, 6-3, on Saturday while allowing three runs in 5 1/3 innings.

I feel pretty good about gabbard in this game

Hopefully felix has a random off night.

Gerald Laird is my hero.

That

may be hoping for more than Laird’s trade value to escalate, sir.

What the fuck

Both of you, there is a thread for this in the DESIGNATED FAN AREA.

Quit trying to waste my flavor, before you get taint punched.

Eh,

you are a Kansas fan…you suck!

Oh yeah, GBR!

Okay...

I did a fanshot for this already, but I know the fanshots don’t get much attention, so…

As a pregame activity, lets caption this photo of Milton Bradley.

Ummm

gotta cook my salmon & asparagus.

Ok…I sat on something that does not feel too comfortable…and when I get up I am gonna kick the shit out of whoever put this “thing” here!!!!!!!!!

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

by Rodney on May 8, 2008 8:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

My take:

Milton is staring at some sort of trainer running to him

Trainer: Can you walk? How are those ankles? Look, we’ve got Eight Belles on the table right now; you’re up next, promise.

by cmkelly29 on May 8, 2008 8:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

harsh

dude, that’s just wrong.

So far

I like Randy’s caption the best so far.

Best I can do is a little crude, but nonetheless:

“Out? WTF do you mean I’m OUT?? Man, I’m gonna kick yo’ freakin… hey, is that Kinsler over there in the dugout with a bucket of fried chicken?”

Go directly to jail

Catching

The platoon is really F’d up.

Laird against the righthander, when we faced a lefty last night.

I understand it’s 2 days on, 2 days off, but you might as well play Salty.

Maybe they want him catching Gabbard over Salty?

by cmkelly29 on May 8, 2008 8:43 PM CDT   0 recs

I think

they have switched to a 1 on 1 off because Millwood is throwing Saturday. Salty should get the start tomorrow. But, who knows for sure. LOL

Super long

haiku?

by Rodney on May 8, 2008 8:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It seems as though

We’re working the catching platoons based on who’s pitching for us instead of who’s pitching for them. Can’t say that I personally have a problem with it, if it’s going to result in better ERAs.

Brandon Boggs is amazing

Nice peice of hitting to pop one through the hole, and just a great at-bat overall.

I got you Rodney.

Not the only black poster on LSB.

by sprite on May 8, 2008 9:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

This looks more like the team we saw at the beginning of the season

They are looking a lot more patient at the plate, are working the counts, and seeing it actually pay off. Pretty much the only difference is that they are having better luck with RISP.

Sexson- now appearing in your neighborhood..

as a statue. haha. A lot of first basemen would have gotten to that ball. I will sure take it though.

Ichiro's scrappiness

is on par with Eckstein. Damned aggravating.

Gabbard being Gabbard

He won’t strike out a ton and he won’t have an outstanding WHIP, but a guy who never lets a ball leave the IF will have a lot of success as a Major League pitcher.

by Gdawg1 on May 8, 2008 9:30 PM CDT   0 recs

+1

who was it Gabbards first start who kept saying the double plays he induced were luck?

by bigsteve on May 8, 2008 9:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Gabbard

If he doesn’t start K-ing a few more guys, and walking a few less, he’s not likely to continue to have success.

by Adam J. Morris on May 8, 2008 9:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

walks

those bother me a little but you can’t be serious Adam can you?
