Damn, Hamilton back in there already?
I was kinda thinking he could use a day off after getting hit in the hand…
Josh is back?
Yay! Although I would prefer they not push it and give him an extra day off if needed, you gotta hope they know what they are doing and he is really OK.
Tom is back!

Yep,
that part sucks. I listen to about 70% of the games on the radio, and victor gets old sometimes.

either gonna score 10+ or not anything at all
The funny thing about my back is that its located on my cock.
Considering we've scored 0 runs.
Exactly 0 times this season, you’re already setting yourself up for failure.
We’ll score like 3-4, they’ll score a bunch more.
Move Bradley to RF
Hamilton to CF and keep Murphy in LF. Then make Max your DH. Now that is an amazing lineup.
i'd say rangers win
5-2
but gabbard is pitching…

"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," Bo Diddley
That is not ...
... always an option. I am in Rangers territory so cant watch on mlb.tv but get more Astros games than Rangers on TV. So don’t assume that he is being cheap. He could just be the victim of some very archaic rules.
Maybe I'm just stupid for actually following rules...
but I pay for mlb.tv, and to have people getting it for free is kind of annoying.
It's not about following rules ...
... if you live in San Antonio like me, FSN usually has the Astros on. Since I am considered Rangers territory though, I can’t use mlb.tv.
So why should I be the victim of some bullshit rules like that? How can I be in Rangers territory but get Astros games. FUCK THAT!!! When TIme Warner cable doesn’t show the Ragners on the alternate channel, you bet your ass I will watch a TV Ants link, rules be damned.
I'm not Bud Selig...
I don’t make the rules.
If it’s occasional, that’s one thing. If someone is watching every game for free, it kind of irks me.
I pay decent money to watch this team, and I don’t want to spend more than that on it next year because people have TVants figured out.
OTR today?
"...my balls are really like a veiny flesh color" blueballlefty on Jun 4, 2008 7:44 PM EDT
"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," Bo Diddley
Well, TVants doesn't have every game
It’s hit and miss for a team like the Rangers. If you actually want to be garunteed to catch every game, you do have to have MLB.tv – so if it’s any consolation, you still are getting at least part of what you pay for.
you really shouldn't concern yourself with other people
i pay for mlb.tv but am happy to help out others with a free link. its not as nice as mlb.tv anyway. but, more importantly, what do I care what someone else is doing? more than that, how does it hurt me if someone else is benefiting?
Rare Gnats Sex
If Mr. Selig would ease up on the money-grabbing 'broadcast rights'
and team ‘home areas’, it wouldn’t be as big an issue.
Take it from someone who lived 400mi away from DFW but couldn’t watch games on TV or MLB.tv because of the draconian rules..

I came to visit dallas today. Blacked out on mlb.tv – based on IP. Used an anonymous proxy to get around it. I forgot who I was having that conversation with

That was me.
It finally worked with me. Thanks for the help.

you got it to work with an anonymous proxy?
I thought about it later and I guess its possible that mlb.com uses both billing zip code and IP address to block you so just wondering how you got it to work.
Rare Gnats Sex
My issue with it
Was that I was putting the proxy in wrong to start with, and then one of the two you gave me didnt work.
When I figured it out, and got the right proxy, it worked. And as soon as the game started up, I went back to my normal setup.

Diagnosed with a torn labrum.
That means both of the young pitching prospects the Orioles got from Houston for Miguel Tejada have come down with torn labrums.

really have kinda been
impressed with him behind the plate, just saying if he wants to help himself out he really needs to hit better
by blueballlefty on Jun 27, 2008 7:43 PM CDT up reply actions
I agree, I'm just pointing out the positive
He’s at least seeing some pitches (from the left side at least) so I still think theres something there, it’s just a matter of getting him in a groove. Rudy is supposed to be one of the best, he needs to help him out.
I think the best thing he could do
is really start tearing up LHP that way when we face a lefty he and Gerry would be the DH/C while M.B. played RF and MaxRam play 1B that would make us tough against lefties

“No, you know what? Fuck that. Kason. 1 up that shit.”
ok
well,even if gabbard wants to come out, we can’ take him out with no outs in the third!
Rare Gnats Sex
i don't get this though
he looks like he is tired, he’s jerking his arm trying to throw an 87mph fastball. whats up with these pitchers? bad sleep the night before?

This is like watching paint dry
I think Jamey said in a report a while back that the one pitcher he couldn’t stand watching pitch was Jamey Wright.
Mine is Gabbard.
intentionally walking the bases loaded for ryan howard
i know hes a lefty and ks all the time, but still.. this sets up for disaster.

this could be real ugly. I don’t see Gabby striking too many people out.

If you're gonna intentionally walk a guy to pitch to Ryan Howard with the bases loaded
You might as well pitch to Burrell with 2 men on.

he still has a 4.6 career ERA, not that bad.
of course because of the walks he never goes deep into games.

today he has command of nothing
he doesn’t need to rely on the fastball but he has to locate the other pitches

If he doesn't command the fastball

Mendoza seems like another Kam Loe, who is much less effective a second time through the order, and Gabbard is a walk machine. Pick your poison.
Mendoza seems to do ok....
........ when he has a healthy shoulder
by blueballlefty on Jun 27, 2008 8:06 PM CDT up reply actions
He's looked good in the bullpen
But in his starts earlier this year, his sinker always seemed less effective the second time around. I like him, but I think he’s got a better chance to be dominant in the bullpen than in the rotation.
Well at this point
I’d rather see what he can do, now that he’s healthy than continue to watch Gabbard walk people. If has the same problems Loe has with the 2nd time through the order well, let’s find that out now. Watching Gabbard’s complete inability to find the strike zone does nothing for this team now or in the future.

but i guess epstein can claim victory in that trade if he wants because 1 of the 3 hasn’t really turned out great, while of the three look pretty good and his piece in return absolutely sucked
Rare Gnats Sex
Oh he can't claim a win
I’m just saying that he didn’t have any remorse, adding Gabbard to the deal. That’s all I’m saying.
So, if Gabbard is pulled out of the rotation
He has to be sent down, right? Because I can’t imagine that another guy who can’t throw strikes would have any use in the bullpen.
Why should he be any different than everyone else
in the pen? Besides if we go with Mendoza they’re going to want a go for Long Relif. Especially if Rupe becomes the 7th or 8th inning guy like some think he should be.
Who do you bring up
if you send down Gabbard? Loe?

that's how you do it..
love it when a local boy does good
If you want some slack, bring your own rope.
This lineup is a true test for Rupe.

All right…Josh Rupe for President!
"The path you choose, you also choose its destination..."
give this to Milly...
...at least he went five.
i mean, if that doesn’t happen, no way Rupey is in the game right now.

nope sorry
Can’t give any credit for Millwood giving up 12 hits, 7 runs, and totally sucking, even if he did go 5 innings. Ace my ass.
“if that doesn’t happen, no way Rupey is in the game right now”...
sparing the bullpen one or two innings right now is a godsend, son…

Again at 7-0 I think they
would have left whoever out there to be sacrificed. That he struggled through just isn’t to be commended.
sure it does, you putz!
even in a total loss… he saved an already tired bullpen a couple of innings…
if you’re gonna lose bad, might as well throw your regular number of pitches, and try and go five.

Think he will respond like
the Cowboys safety when Pacman Jones took all of the reps at CB and he was told he might be moving to Safety?
Henry’s experiment at safety is very much like adding Zach Thomas and re-signing T.O. It is all about doing whatever is necessary to finally reach the Super Bowl, regardless of egos and agendas.Henry gets this. The day we talked he had been asked by the crowd if he felt at all crowded by Pacman and the two draft picks spent on cornerbacks.
“The more the better,” he said. “Right now, I am still the starting corner. Whatever happens, if I get shuffled around, I will handle that when it comes…. I’m just going to go with the flow. If that is the best way for us to be successful and win a championship, then I am willing to do it.”
"The path you choose, you also choose its destination..."
Everyone will laugh at me for this
But as much as Salty walks, and as many pitches as he sees, I’d like to see him in the 2-hole. He might see some better pitches with Hamilton and Bradley behind him too.
Salty
I would like to see Salty get his average away from the Mendoza line…I dont care where he hits….just hit.
That's not the most horrible idea I've heard.
Doubt it happens as long as Wash is here, but giving it a try for a week wouldn’t be awful. The problem is there’s no way Mike Young will accept being the 7th-9th hitter on this team.
So can anyone tell me
why Gabbard was Brought back up after just 1 start did I miss something it wasn’t a rehab stint was it?
Mendoza was still rehabing
and who else should they have gone with? Now that Mendoza is healthy I expect him to be given an opportunity soon.
IDK they could have let a number of guys do it
Lizard, Loe, Rupe it was just for a little while and I dont think he was called up when Mendoza got hurt he was sent down to work on his control, and obviously 1 game was not nearly enough.

Actually Padilla will be a free agent in 2010
And theres no garuntee we’ll resign him, even though he’s pitch well this year.
He's only a f.a.
if we don’t exercise the option on him.

And he is hitting cleanup.

Thanks.
