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.

By the way
Poor Mayberry, he can’t feel too good seeing player after player come up and pass him…
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
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?
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.
Awesome!
I’ll bring a few razor blades lolipops to pass out to the crowd.
Cue the “Darkness Music”.

I just said that...
About the Oscar in the fanshot thread on the movie.
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.

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.
And FUGLY!
Woah…

That's pretty much my point
I mentioned it during the movie, and when my girlfriend and I got home, she agreed. I said although Katie Holmes couldn’t act, at least she looked decent.

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.

Been off the net for a while…I am sure this is a repost, but:
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.

Should Kinsler have made an out somewhere?
I don’t think he had a shot and he saved a run by getting to the ball.
I think pretty much anyone gets to that ball
It wasn’t that not getting an out was a bad play…it was just that pretty much any infielder in that situation is going to keep the ball in the infield.

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

At least in a road game he’s got a garunteed 9 innings to play, so he should get at least one more AB.

couple hard hit outs + a walk. considering the lefties, not a bad first day back really.

Brandon McCarthy, who hasn’t pitched this season, will continue his rehab assignment Tuesday for Triple-A Oklahoma. He is expected to throw around 60 pitches.
Good to hear

You left out the other part of that entry
Gabbard done for the season. The FWST and DMN blog entries about this are linked above in this thread.
Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.
final line: 6 ip, 1 hit, 0 runs, 2 bb, 8 ks,
85 pitches i think it was.

Time to take Millwood out
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
is 11 hits in 6 1/3 a lot?
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
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.

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.

Andrus, bunt single Vallejo sacrifices him to 2nd
Andrus steals third….
Strikeout
Walk
Andrus scores on a WP
Nice wayto manufacture a run
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.
FUCK MLB.tv
They just expired my free one-week subscription mid-game! Bastards…
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
Yeah
Now that I got the audio pulled up… that was a good thing.
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
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.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Hopefully Both TB and Bos win
aswell as LAAA
If we are going to lose, lose enough to be sellers at the deadline
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.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
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
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
Aight. I'm 0-4 on calling it.
I’m going to leave now and turn off the box-score so the Rangers can come back and win.
warner!?

Time to check out Glen Campbell – Meet Glen Campbell. Really, I just got it, and want to listen to him cover some good rock/pop songs.
And this game is killing me…

hopefully we have a tea party
here in a sec. and then kins gets a hit.

he should of at lest pulled him after the first guy got on.
not after he loaded the bases, turned what was good game for him into a bad one very fast.
obviously its meaningless
but tea didnt exactly have a good game.

Hitting streak baby…

Well, SHIT
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
well, the hitting streak doesnt have anything to do with the rangers being sellers
so.. that still sucks.

Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
like i have said before
WE NEED right-handed power. that is basically the only reason we cant score against lefties
Kinsler is the best player on the rangers(done), BENOIT SUCKS(done), bring up Harrison(done),new: Put Nippert in rotation, Mendoza to the pen, get Feliz to AAA by the end of the year, trade cat
I wonder when the last single thread gameday thread was.

I don't know
But this has been a sucky first game back from the ASB.
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
Hmn...
Boofus is on for the Twins… maybe we can at least score here to avert the shutout.
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"

on mlb.com it said that hurley was supposed to pitch tommorow
anyone know why he got pushed back or was he never supposed to pitch tommorow?

Oddities aroung the Majors
Greinke gave up 7 runs in 3 innings
Gallaraga 5 runs 4 er in 6 2/3
Sexson goes 1-3 for an RBI single
Burnett 7ip 2er 6ks
Maddux gives up 6 runs in 4ip.
Holiday 1-3 HR 2 rbi
Welp
That sucked. I hope this doesn’t kill our momentum here at the start of the second half.
Classic iorange555: "lmao too bad i watched [the all-star game] at a friends house ;[ much funer on here"
Rangers All Stars Had to be tired
Knew this was coming, shut out streak over and 25 games for Kins over, they even looked tired, this looks like a very, very bad road trip, with even more shutouts and lots of losses
yeah and we got a tough schedule ahead of us
