I’m going to stop using that stupid Gameday thread scheduling thing. I always screw something up. This is the second or third time that one hasn’t come up for me.
by Brett Perryman on Jun 4, 2008 7:19 PM CDT up reply actions
What happens?
I find that the scheduler with 2.0 is easy to use, as long as you make sure you checked that box.
Of course, sometimes I forget to do that.
by Brandon Worley on Jun 4, 2008 7:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Not sure what I did this time
Once I forgot to check the box. Once I tried to set up a second game thread through that, while I was at a Frisco game, which didn’t work.
I mean I’ve done it right several times, but when I’m not around to check it, it’s seemed like I’ve jacked it up.

And Bradley makes the bobble in the OF

I know offense gets the ink but
a little defense is a good thing to have. Seems it’s dismissed as unimportant too often.
It's all shades

"If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey," Bo Diddley
then what do you do with salty and milton and laird
touchdown... touchdown... and st.micheals takes the lead.
Well if Byrd is traded soon
Then you have Boggs, Murphy, and Hamilton in the OF on most days and give Bradley a few days in the OF when one of them could use a day off. Defense tonight is extremely important since we can’t afford to have Ponson having to pitch this much this early like he has.
We need
more DINO!!!

i know
that they like switching around salt and laird and that murph needs a day off/hits .230 against lefties, but shouldn’t they put the lineup from yesterday (which is badass) on the field tonight knowing that the team is likely to give up even more runs than normal?

NO!
leave him out there regardless of the score. he needs to stay out there 5 innings. would rather lose today because of pitching then lose 2 more AND make more roster moves because depleted bullpen is even worse off

He's up to 56 pitches already
You can’t really blow his arm out either, he is a part of your rotation.

Elizardo Ramirez
should have probably just started this game instead of trying to go with a non ready Ponson
Sad but true
"My death certificate will probably say: 'Cause of Death: World Series.'" Jamey Newberg
never heard of elizardo ramirez until tonight.
where he been
touchdown... touchdown... and st.micheals takes the lead.
He started the other day
Hes on only a couple days rest as well. I think they were hoping to not have to use him and just be able to use Loe but if Ponson can only go 3 they are screwed
That's shitty.
There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.
Well at least this inning is over now
Maybe the bats can do some damage on Lee and Ramirez can give this team some shut out innings.
well
1 error, 1 legitimately well hit ground ball, and 2 dinky ground balls. and the walks.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
The errors
scared the shit outta him. You would feel the same.

ponson
has had bad control tonight but he hasnt pitched bad at all. that inning was full of slowly hit ground balls.

Please dont say another word about where the angels are, or how far we are out of first place.
Not untill 87% of the pitching staff has been replaced, just dont even allow yourself to dream.

yeah
these people complain about everything, like seeing the team give up 33 runs in the past 3 games and end up having to use a questionable pitcher on 3 days rest and have him and the defense give up 4 runs in the first 2 innings with him not looking to have any command of his pitches at all. Bunch of whiny bitches
Did I say that?
It’s perfectly fine to expouse how much our defense sucked, but “this game is over” in the second inning is retarded.
from now on
ill ask your permission before posting you pussyhurt fag
its called frustration
its not like me declaring the game is over will cause the game to be over
there's a difference
between being emotional and being idiotic. Being idiotic is acting like a douche in the 2nd inning
Being idiotic is overreacting to a 3 run lead
but whatever, these game threads have become unreadable lately
one group complains about the baseball game, THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
you WHINE about the people complaining, which is actually useless and off topic.

you are the dumbest person on this message board

He is starting to suck now.
"My death certificate will probably say: 'Cause of Death: World Series.'" Jamey Newberg
He got lucky as hell to have some amazing defense behind him when he played
that doesn’t mean he would have pitched anything like that for the Rangers. And chances are, he would have been taking the place of Feldman or Ponson, 2 guys that have looked good for the Rangers this season.
I can make the claim
because his Fielding-Independent ERA is over a point higher than his current ERA and Detroit’s defense just isn’t as good as they have been when he has pitched.
imagine that rotation
milwood, padilla, danks, volquez, young
Move on...ok?
"My death certificate will probably say: 'Cause of Death: World Series.'" Jamey Newberg
it gets tired, i agree
but JD could really help people move on by bringing pitching talent IN to the org.
Hey...
On the gameday replay of MY’s RBI groundout, isn’t that Millwood down in the dugout right at the end of it? 29 seconds in?
Thought so...
I’m really feeling gipped right now. Some personal emergency.

For the opposite of this game

Gerald Laird is my hero.
when i argued it
you backed off every point you made and then the next day took it all back.
its not my fault you are so stupid you will then reverse yourself the next day and ignore all arguments made against you.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
A question I posed this morning:
“Does a two-year, $24 million contract extension with a $14 million third-year team option for the 2011 season – thereby securing Bradley through his age-33 season, very likely the tail-end of his prime – convince Milton to stick around past 2008? And if so, do you pull the trigger on that?”
Thoughts?
PA clause?
"...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
there is something
in Kinsler’s contract, for example, that takes back money for DL days. I think that’s the route to go.
I think it could be enough
And yes, I pull the trigger on it. As I’ve said before, he is the type of hitter you hope our prospects can come close to becoming.
Offense says FU pitching
We will win this game.

26 games
that’s the number of games that hamilton has played in this year w/o an rbi.
that means that (not including today) there are 33 games where he does have an rbi.
he’s averaging over 2 rbi in those games. meaning, that he’s probably gonna get another.
so there’s a 50% chance on any given game that he won’t get an rbi.
this means nothing, i’m just bored at work waiting on scripts to edit
