That's why bunting Laird over was stupid.
Stupid, stupid stupid.
Bunt with a righty and a runner on second so you can get a lefty/lefty matchup.
stupid.
if he had been at first, maaaaaaaybe
but at 2nd? take three shots at the single.
Bring up Justin Smoak
Heh
I just find it ironic that AJM beat me to bitching about that one.
by LSJ on Jun 5, 2008 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions
well when i questioned him last time
he clarified it was these situations he disliked specifically.
Bring up Justin Smoak
good thing we bunted.
gotta keep hatin the bunt with the man already in scoring position. sorry.
Bring up Justin Smoak
except you bunted with a righty to bring up a lefty to try for the SF
not a lot of foresight there
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
oh man
kinsler likely gets only 1 more at bat…hopefully 3 more! (and not due to extra innings)
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
man hes might only get one more chance to continue the streak
now please fotf, we need this win badly.
Bring up Justin Smoak
Woohoo!

must be weird
to have crowd cheer for you after giving up 4 runs. i guess we’s got low expectations
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
after the last few games..
4 runs is like reincarnating Cy Young.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 5, 2008 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions
More likely
The fans are happy that he bounced back after a rough first inning to give the Rangers 5 shutout innings after that.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:17 PM CDT up reply actions
nope
i think it’s the lowered expectations. looking at the scoreboard you can care less if those 4 runs were scored just now or in the 1st.
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
not if you are at the game
thinking you are about to witness another 15 run game.
Bring up Justin Smoak
And for what it is worth...
...I was very disappointed in the crowd booing the Lizard last night.
I didn’t think that was warranted.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:18 PM CDT up reply actions
i would never boo
a player, unless he beans a ranger. as bad as lizard was, not all those runs were on him.
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
The only time I boo guys on my team...
...is if I think they are dogging it.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't mind booing.
the players are incredibly well-compensated. And tickets are high. They are big boys, a little booing isn’t going to hurt them.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 5, 2008 9:23 PM CDT up reply actions
at the ranger game
that i was able to go to last year (against the indians) i sat by and asshole fan.
wright was solid for a couple innings and then kinda imploded. the fan started calling him “faggot” and stuff. we were behind homeplate. i guess you have to be thick skinned.
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
Yeah
That sort of stuff drives me nuts. I don’t see the point in abusing the players because they are sucking. It isn’t like they want to suck.
And before anyone asks…I never booed Popup, or Sosa.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:26 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, now verbal harassment is lame...
the player won’t hear you most likely anyway, and it probably offends fans nearby.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 5, 2008 9:28 PM CDT up reply actions
at that game
i did boo vin diesel though. it was the sammy tribute where he got beaned in the head. i also booed the pitcher. vin’s not a player so that don’t count. but hitting sammy on his special day? c’mon!
oh yeah, that guy next to me called the cleveland pitcher a faggot too.

Well, considering the beating Rangers fans sustained during that game
And over the past couple days, I think it’s understandable. I don’t agree with it either, though.
by LSJ on Jun 5, 2008 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions
There's a guy who sometimes...
...is across the aisle from the seats I have, who, as best as I can tell, shows up just to yell at everyone. Rangers, opponents, umps, doesn’t matter…he just is there to heckle them.
It gets old, quick.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Kinda like the Tampa Bay heckler?
I agree, that shit is bush league.

He spent most of the incredibly long top of the 6th and top of the 7th calling Joel Skinner “four”, which is the sort of thing Josey might come up with.

i hope no one on tampa gets suspended
this all started with crisp, and it ends with crisp, that effing moron.

Crawford coming in and taking shots at a guy being held on the ground is inexcusable. He’ll get a vacation.

then they always appeal it and get a game taken off. i doubt they lose anyone against us.
plus, garza obviously wouldnt be pitching anyway.

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
I'm not a fan
I shacked up with a girl in Austin with two of them. I told her she should stop there, because tattoos are like cats…you can have one or two, and get away with it, but more than that, and you are the tattoo woman/the cat woman.
She didn’t listen.
And I’m still at a loss as to how the tramp stamp became so popular. Even the E-I-C of the law review my 3rd year of law school had one.

If the girl is hot, the tattoo is hot.
If the girl is ugly, the tatto just makes her look worse.

Not a fan...
Sometimes I think it’s harder to have pale skin than a tan…I sort of associate these two features.
Olive-toned (or even pale), untattooed skin. That’s my preference.

For me, it depends what type, and where it's at
I’m not that much of a fan of tramp stamps, or tribal bands and the like, but if it’s something cool, I’m down with it.
by LSJ on Jun 5, 2008 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions
All very interesting responses here.
Just for the record, I have two. A star and flame on my lower back (but not low enough to be considered a tramp stamp) and a treble clef and eighth notes on the inside of my left ankle. I want a baseball-related tattoo as well, but I haven’t decided what or where, so I’m holding off.
But Adam’s right…tattoos are addictive. Can’t have just one.

Anyone still wanting to trade Bradley?
I hope not.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on Jun 5, 2008 9:31 PM CDT reply actions
You guys have to stay strong.
MAINTAIN on trading bradley, it is neccessary for the survival of the franchise.
Pick 5
is supposedly a good high school 1B/OF. I believe the name Lars anderson was thrown out, and I really like that. He’s a high upside guy with a lot of natural power. He just needs to learn how to properly harness it.
All reports says good hands, strong wrists and pretty much everything you’d like to see from a good high school power prospect.
He’ll probably be too thick to play the OF. Think Chris Davis before Navarro, maybe
Pick 6
No joke, I actually looked at him for my 4th round pick on Sickle’s blog since I was looking for a college lefty. I settled on Scott Barnes of St. Johns, but I think the two are pretty interchangable.
Barnes has had more exposure, but Bleier is what he is. Lefty with low downside (LOOGY?) but low cieling.
Pretty meh.

"When we're mad we'll use our words. Then the rest of the world will play nice with us. And the only boom-booms will be in our pants." - Ralph Wiggum
its very difficult to maintain
noone we bring in can approach this next year.
of course, bradley wouldnt either.
just keep the man at DH, we cant let this monster season go unrewarded in trade by him getting hurt.
Bring up Justin Smoak
My solution
Offer him 2 years, $25 million, with a team option for $15 million for 2011.
If he doesn’t take it, deal him, and roll with Max as your DH/backup catcher next year, and get Brandon Inge to be your UIF/3rd catcher.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I could live without Inge either way
+1 on Bradley, though.
by LSJ on Jun 5, 2008 9:39 PM CDT up reply actions
How much do you give him?
Let’s say he wants a J.D. Drew contract—5 years, $70 million. Do you do that?
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions
shiest effing no.
That’s SP money.
There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.
by SarasotaRanger on Jun 5, 2008 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions
that's why i think you do something quick
and not wait till he gets on the FA market. I know you’ll bring up he’s never played a full season, but if he turns into a Oritiz type player, mostly DH and occastionally in right, i think he’ll play a lot more games and stay healthy.
But, like i’ve said twice before, something strong like 4yrs 40-44MM.
I'm leery of going that long...
...on a guy with his injury history, at his age.
And I don’t know if that would be enough to get it done.

people keep saying
where would this team be offensively without Josh, think about that if Bradley was not here, and he has everyone’s favorite 4th of batting behind him.
The only reason MB doesn't have as many RBIs as Hamilton
Is because Hammy keeps knocking them in ahead of Bradley.
by Brandon Worley on Jun 5, 2008 9:39 PM CDT up reply actions
partly, but mostly because.....
bradley walks all the time. it does a ton for the team, but if he hacked like hamilton does he would have more rbis.
Bring up Justin Smoak
?
Both have done extremely well.. but Hammy has what 25 more ribbies?
Hey, it could be worse...

hes been a more all around hitter reaching base
hamilton has been the pure slugger driving in runs.

one run lead? Yeah, I don’t trust Jack, but let’s no be stupid when we got 4 runs.
He’s inconsistent like every other member of the pen. He’s not the worst reliever in the league though. That would be Betancourt.
He has had decent era's..
except for this season- but that stat is misleading with relievers. I just bet he is very very bad in the key reliever stat- inherited runners that score.

I should have
applied for the MLB draft.
There are like 800 rounds, I had a chance to be picked.

do you have to apply
or do they just draft?

ok
i just always heard stories of people finding out weeks later that they’d been drafted. guess that was the olden days. i know that you don’t lose college eligibility for getting drafted.

NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
yeah- only if you actually sign.
heaps and heaps of draftees just don’t sign.

no need to apply
in the later rounds, they just pick random names from the phone book… that’s how Mike Piazza was picked in the 62nd round.

Wow
With the way our pitching staff has been bombed….and with us facing Lee and sabathia….
How the HELL did we split this series?
Good lord
that almost physically hurt.

hahah... good point.
and it so doesn’t seem like a split with how terribly our pitching was pulverized in the first 3 games.

so... when it was 4-0 in the top of the first facing cc sabathia..
who saw an 8-4 win?
Bring up Justin Smoak
not me.
I would have turned it off but LSB compelled me to stick it out.

Well, if I ever get a date set for me to go, I might take you up on that
We could have a mini-LSB day in Bakersfield.
However, at this point, my making it out there is more dream than reality…
by LSJ on Jun 6, 2008 4:04 AM CDT up reply actions
I'm all the way out toward the coast in Garden Grove
(also know as Garbage Grove by us locals). So it would be a pretty good drive all the way out to Bakersfield.

Not sure exactly how far, though
I’d have to mapquest it or something, and I’m not really sure I even want to know how far it is.

8 straight 0's on the scoreboard.
Who’d have thought that?

Because they are an old, slow, and not very good team
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 10:20 PM CDT up reply actions
They play the same position
I don’t see the point.
It is like all those people complaining about not trading for Pau Gasol…there’s no way on earth you can have Gasol and Dirk on the floor at the same time.
by Adam J. Morris on Jun 5, 2008 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions
They wanted
Gasol at center.
That would have been a nightmare, defense of losers.
Sheed could play center though, more of a small ball lineup.
It isn’t happening though, because Detroit wants young talented players and draft picks for their starters. We have neither.
"No bear or disco for Juan" - Mr. Santos
ya
And sheed is older, so it would be pretty much a waste…. I mean Dirk was the only one who played up to expectations when Kidd came here. Hell, he even exceeded them.

I got in
a huge argument with a d-bag that was trying to tell me Carlos Boozer was better than Dirk.
I got pissed.
