Can't count them

since they can bat both ways.

we will see 7 left handed batters in a row…

so 7

by tyd3311 on Jul 21, 2008 6:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

whoa..

is that 6 lefties in a row?

by tyd3311 on Jul 21, 2008 6:04 PM CDT   0 recs

2 things

the pic for the begining of a series:

and i don’t think i’ve posted a prediction this half yet, and the rangers are 1-2.

so…

rangers win

3-2

All the lefties today

The ChiSox only have one lefty in the bullpen, Matt Thornton, and he pitched yesterday (albeit for only 10 pitches).

It's a beautiful night for baseball here in Chi-town..

I was a little concerned earlier… quite a storm came through last night/this morning.

Don't know if this has been mentioned

Angels maybe looking for Matt Holliday in a trade.

Rockies’ demand seems a bit steep..

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

by WyoRanger on Jul 21, 2008 6:22 PM CDT   0 recs

That seems a little steep

but damn it would suck to see Holliday in this division. If Escobar hadnt fried his shoulder they could do this and really not miss a beat

by laxtonto on Jul 21, 2008 6:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I would love it

the Rangers would have to give up Adenhart, Kendrick and Escobar/Saunders…do it!

Not sure if it was mentioned here or not

but I lurk at the other AL West SBN blogs so I had heard about it… and the guys at HH bitching about how other teams want this side of the menu, that side of the menu and that side of the menu for one player when dealing with the Angels.

They could really use his bat come playoff time.

I WANT THAT DEAL TO HAPPEN

That’d be so awesome. Holliday is great, but take him out of Coors and into the cool southern california air, and take away Howie, Adenhardt, and all that pitching and woo-hoo – Rangers division to win!

by JBImaknee on Jul 21, 2008 6:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Poor Angels

Too bad they haven’t gone out and tried to sign a f.a. outfielder the last few years…that would alleviate the need to trade for Holliday…

money does not always equal good?

It would have worked out better

had the Angels signed Juan Pierre

worse signing:

i don't get it...

...everytime i go and play soccer, i get blisters on my toes…

i’m wearing soccer boots… Nike’s… those “90” shoes that came out two years ago during the World Cup…

am i wearing a small size?

by oc on Jul 21, 2008 6:47 PM CDT   0 recs

In my experience

too small of a size just makes the toes uncomfortable all day from being squeezed. Too large of a size tends to give me blisters on my heel.
