This is the fucking NL's fault.

I thought this was a 1 weekend bullshit thing. We have played half the damn season against NL teams.

Hunter Pence

was not the best baseball player in Arlington, I know I played with him and against him.

by RRiders on Jun 26, 2008 8:15 PM CDT   0 recs

I graduated AHS with him

he wasn’t great in HS. But he really got better at UTA.

by Dirk Diggler on Jun 26, 2008 8:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I was looking through a friends facebook

He was in a Hunter Pence fan group. There were like 300 posts on his page.

I just picked a random page and found this gem

“Hunter is a douche, he gave my friend an STD.”

Classic gold my friend.

I’m still pissed off this game is 7-0 Astros with Hamilton hurt again.

Eh. Maybe not.

Sorry. I’m clearly not thinking. I think my brain shut off after that second inning.

Maybe he figures

When your pitcher is the only one with a hit, can Cat really do worse?

Just got to the house and flipped over to the Rangers game

Kind of wish I had just stayed at the bar and kept watchin the draft

but struggled lately on O

There's not really a weak

lefties hitter in there with Boggs in there now

by FirebatM3 on Jun 26, 2008 8:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

doesn't matter

medicore lefties always are the ones that “have their best stuff working for them” when they face off against the Rangers.

there was a time... once...

...where i would be just as excited about Jarrod’s at-bats as i am with Josh’s…

by oc on Jun 26, 2008 8:22 PM CDT   0 recs

On the other hand...

Millwood has allowed as many runs tonight as Edinson Volquez did.

On the third hand, Wandy Rodriguez has allowed as many runs tonight (so far) as John Danks did.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 26, 2008 8:24 PM CDT   0 recs

on the other hand, Millwood's were earned.

On the third hand...

...Volquez’s were all earned until they changed a FC to an error on Volquez.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 26, 2008 8:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

The NL will start laying off Volquez stuff

and the walks are going to keep going up. Already at 4.5 per 9. You can’t keep that up and continue to be dominant.

Anybody seen 10,000 BC?

Just saw a commercial for it and remembered I never went and saw it. Any good?

Question

Is it just me, or does it seem like Victor Rojas has gotten progressively more annoyed with Lewin’s Lewinisms over the past couple of weeks?

Like the “Humberto/Wandy” thing.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 26, 2008 8:27 PM CDT   0 recs

I guess he can only take so much Lewin

Victor

doesn’t have the greatest sense of humor. You know cuz he’s got REAL baseball in his family background. He’s SERIOUS.

And he was nice enough to chat with me in Anaheim and Minneapolis last year.

How the hell has Darrell Arthur not been taken yet?

And to top it off, the Nets are now up with the Mavs pick and DCR, Arthur and Jordan all sitting there

Don't worry

I was repeatedly assured that it was okay for the Mavs to give up their 2 #1 picks, because no one available with those picks would ever be any good.

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 26, 2008 8:29 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No I don't

Just the stupid things they do. Like that stupid Jason Kidd trade. And their signing every mediocre swingman over the age of 33.

i’ve ever heard you say anything bad about Donnie Nelson.

OK

but you never post about the good things. At least not that I’ve seen. You have had a hint of joy in your posts about the kidd trade.

it was a bad trade

I just said he seemed to take joy in the fact that it was awful

There haven't been many good things...

...to post about in the last 14 months or so, vis-a-vis the Mavs…

by Adam J. Morris on Jun 26, 2008 8:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

This was destined to be a deep draft and the Mavs knew that

And on top of that they could very well be a lottery team when that 2010 pick comes up and it isn’t protected which is another dumbass aspect of that trade….among many

I've always heard

the exact opposite about this draft. “This is a 2 player draft…” stuff like that.

by Dirk Diggler on Jun 26, 2008 8:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well maybe elite guys if you want to go Beasley/Rose

But their is a lot of NBA ready talent in this draft and their isn’t a huge dropoff from 3-30
