Lineup

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

by Longhorn on Jul 18, 2008 6:02 PM CDT reply actions  

You beat me

I. Kinsler 2b
M. Young ss
J. Hamilton cf
M. Bradley dh
M. Byrd rf
H. Blalock 3b
B. Boggs lf
C. Davis 1b
T. Teagarden c

Looking forward…

Go Strangers.

by hightowersmith on Jul 18, 2008 6:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

Just for fun in September

Keep that lineup with the following changes…

Borbon in CF
Mayberry in RF
MaxRam at DH
Hurley Pitching

Then all 10 players in the starting lineup will be guys who made their major league debut with the Rangers. And all but 2 of them (Young/Ramirez) have only played for the Rangers organization.

Let me have a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it fast I'm in a God damned hurry!

I think he's saying he enjoyed it...

and that the movie is incredibly dark, which it is.

Awesome movie! I’ve been following the movie for 2 years, and I thought the movie was better than the hype!

Go Rangers!

Why so serious?

by Joker'z on Jul 18, 2008 6:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yes, it was great.

All the critics who are calling it a perfect movie are right, it’s great. Not a great comic book movie (it’s hardly a super hero movie), but a great movie, period. Godfather great.

But it’s also very, very depressing.

I really liked Jack as the Joker in Burton’s Batman, but this is like a completely different villian. I loved how dark the movie was and Ledger was just great.

by DShep on Jul 18, 2008 7:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yup

Getting home at 3:00 am sucked but it was worth it. There’s a lot of depths to it. If you just like action, it’s got it. If you want to think a little, that’s there too. And it looks great (which is one of my prime things). Music was very good. Ledger was awsome. I used to read comic books and graphic novels (the Frank Miller “Dark Knight” was the best) so maybe it just worked for me, but I think most people will really like it.

My only complaint – I wish Bale wouldn’t do so much of a husky low whispery voice all the time when he’s Batman. Kinda silly. Also, Maggie Gyllenzxkjw is not a leading lady (everybody shutup).

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

Maybe I am just crazy

But I think she is actually pretty attractive.

Maybe she isn’t as drop dead gorgeous as some other airhead actresses, but at least she can act. Katie Holmes looks like a robot in every movie she’s in, even before she got brainwashed by scientology.

Has anyone here seen Secretary? Gyllenhall in amazing in it, and it is a pretty sensual movie too.

according to the fwst

Salty has a bad bug right now and got winded after three swings today. They did not put him on the dl so that tea can join the olympic team on tuesday.

maybe its a fluke, but in Oklahoma Tea has been better against righties than lefties, in which case id rather maxram start today and tea tomorrow than vice versa.

Brandon McCarthy is going to Triple-A Oklahoma next week and will make his first rehab appearance there. He should throw about 60 pitches in four innings. ... Oh, and by the way, Kason Gabbard is out for the year with a bone spur in his elbow.

But somehow the Tigers don’t have enough pitching to compete and the Rangers are having a “magical season”.

The funny thing

The Twins announcers have been talking about how good Millwood is all game. Blyleven and this other guy are so bad, they could almost work for ESPN.

NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER

by gossamer on Jul 18, 2008 9:14 PM CDT reply actions  

So

I’ve been reading Alastair Reynolds’ “The Prefect.”

I was up until about 2:30 in the morning last night reading it, but didn’t finish it. I’ve got about 75 pages to go.

I think now is the perfect time to go pick it back up and resume.

I used to devour

any and all by Robert A or Isaac.

They sound similar. I don’t read books too much anymore.

I think I've read...

...every Heinlein book, and a lot of Asimov.

Reynolds is more modernist hard sci-fi…an Australian who worked as an astrophysicist for the European Space Agency, then wrote a trilogy of novels with the central theme being Fermi’s Paradox…

I don’t read nearly as much fiction as I used to - I’ve veered much more into non-fiction - but I still read a lot of hard sci-fi.

Thanks for the tip

Perhaps I’ll read more after baseball season.

why is this so hard for washington to understand

millwood goes 6 inn. on 95 pitches and 2 runs. pat him on the back, say it’s about time you did your job and give the ball to the bull pen to start the 7th.

there goes the quality start

i am not happy with you kevin.

so…... lose a game, possibly 8.5 back, kinsler loses (maybe) his hit streak, and the shutout streak is broken (maybe).

this game sucks.

aswell as LAAA

If we are going to lose, lose enough to be sellers at the deadline

by laxtonto on Jul 18, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

well they have already gone up 2-0

i have no disagreement that the rangers need to sell, and if we have to lose to do it its not all bad. but its still not fun to watch.

What frustrates me is that RW isnt helping the whole trade value thing

this is atleast the 2nd time and im fairly sure its been more, RW could have pulled him with a lead and instead ran him out there for just 1 more inning

by laxtonto on Jul 18, 2008 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

Wash doesn't give a fuck

about trade value, that’s not his job. His job is to win games, or be fired.

The GM’s job is to improve the team/win, or be fired.

Totally seperate jobs, and expectations.

I still think...

...as I mentioned in the podcast, in the long term, being 10 games back in late July is better than being 5 games back in late July.

We warm up a little, get in on the fringe of the race, and we can’t deal a Guardado or a Blalock or a Bradley as readily as we can if we are 10 back.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 18, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I would rather lose alot than win just enough

Its unpoplar, but ive always stated that im more concerned for 09

Nothing is worse than building this value for the upcoming FA and then not trading them and still not get in the playoffs

not after he loaded the bases, turned what was good game for him into a bad one very fast.

WE NEED right-handed power. that is basically the only reason we cant score against lefties
