TAG is right...

Kinsler is a statue up there, he really only moves if something is coming at his head. He is a really tough guy.

ughh

0-2 count on MY

lol

Hasn’t it been like one ball that has actually gotten out of the IF without taking like 6 hops

by Gdawg1 on Jun 1, 2008 3:57 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It's too bad

that we don’t have a major league caliber hitter in the nine hole. We could have used that 8th run.

by zywica on Jun 1, 2008 3:57 PM CDT   0 recs

MY

strikes out, guess you can’t score a gajillion runs in one inning.

by Gdawg1 on Jun 1, 2008 3:58 PM CDT   0 recs

I consider the inning a failure

Someday we will learn, to get those runners home from third

by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 1, 2008 3:58 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Just out of curiosity...

How often do you think the average team gets a runner home from third with less than two outs?

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 1, 2008 4:00 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Anything less

Would be uncivilized.

by brettgardner on Jun 1, 2008 4:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Haha!

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

I understand your point Adam

But we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard than just the league average.

When Neil Armstrong said he wanted to walk on the moon, everybody laughed at him. Now he is up there, laughing down at all of us.

by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 1, 2008 4:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm not laughing at that

odd comment.

Don't you

Get that his bit is to say “outrageous” things every time he posts?

Just like mine is to get the first post in every thread you start pointing out a minor, insignificant flaw.

by brettgardner on Jun 1, 2008 4:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Nothing "Outrageous" about it

Just that I hold the team to a high standard

by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 1, 2008 4:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

um

we got a runner home from third. we just didn’t get that runner home from third. odd things to complain about. apparently you can only end innings when the bases are empty

This is the type of craziness

that I demand to see more of in Gameday threads.

by Gdawg1 on Jun 1, 2008 4:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

just a shame...

that Hamilton didn’t get the chance with all those batters on. I want an RBI record, damnit!

And it is really

great to not see Cy Young candidates every single day. That crap got old real fast

I will take a 5 run inning any time

Move along and let Hambone lead off the next inning.

I had been hearing that Frisco has good crowds.

Is it just because the Rangers are playing at the exact same time, or is there always just 2 people sitting behind the plate.

by Ranger Capt on Jun 1, 2008 4:01 PM CDT   0 recs

It is often a bit sparse behind home plate

They call those seats “founders club” or something, and the folks who hold them seem to miss a lot of games.

Guess who gets the W?

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

I wonder if people will get his name right

now that we know he shares it with Miguel.

just referencing

the espn story about Miguel Tejada… and how his real last name is actually Tejeda.

by tdi1985 on Jun 1, 2008 4:13 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

same story...

that dealt with how he is actually 3 years older than his records w/ MLB indicated.

btw

Matsui went 0-4 to drop his BA to .330. Hamilton’s currently at .326 so a good finish to this game might put him right back there.

i would be impressed

if these two runs didn’t score

Well Tejeda

is the right guy to come in and K some people.

by Gdawg1 on Jun 1, 2008 4:12 PM CDT   0 recs

Now you see

Why getting runners home from 3rd with less than 2 outs is important.

Rangers pitching, thats why. That 1 run is looking pretty sweet right now.

by SaltyGoesYard on Jun 1, 2008 4:12 PM CDT   0 recs

90 mph? thats disappointing.

and my god, throw a strike

Gerald Laird is my hero.

by DSheppard on Jun 1, 2008 4:13 PM CDT   0 recs

Great

I come back and we’re about to lose the lead. Come on, Robbie.
